1. The induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts or an SV-40 transformed 3T3 cell line by serum was prevented by addition of the naturally occurring polyamines putrescine (butane-1,4-diamine) and spermidine. Much higher concentrations of these amines were required to fully suppress ornithine decarboxylase activity in the transformed SV-3T3 cells than in the 3T3 fibr...

New Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of the type [M(bzoS)2(diamine)] {where M = or } from treatment one mole diamine ligands {diamine , phenanthroline (Phen), bipyridine (Bipy), ethylene (en), N,N′-dimethyl (dmen)} with [M(bzoS)2] complexes. The prepared were characterization by elemental analysis (CHN), molar conductivity, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance proton (1H NMR). bzoS- lig...

A dithienyl unit in a N,C-chelate monoboryl compound has been found to completely stabilize a N,C-chelate boryl chromophore toward photoisomerization. N,C-chelate diboryl compounds that contain a dithienyl unit display a similar high stability toward photoisomerization. This greatly enhanced photostability is attributed to the π → π* transition and luminescence involving the dithienyl uni...

1. The purification of monoamine oxidase and diamine oxidase from normal human term placental tissue is described. 2. The properties of these enzymes are reported and compared with the properties of unpurified human pregnancy plasma. 3. This comparison shows that the amine oxidase of pregnancy plasma has properties corresponding to purified placental diamine oxidase, suggesting a placental orig...

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)Cl(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor mol-ecule coordin-ates the metal atom in an N,N'-chelating mode, with Co-N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the Co(II) atom with a σ-bond, the Co-N(anilide) distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate Co(II) atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetra...

Hybrid propellants are of great interest in space propulsion for combining desirable characteristics of solid and liquid propulsion technologies: simplicity and operational readiness (from solid) with variable thrust and high performance (from liquid), minimizing the disadvantages associated with each one. However, a hybrid propulsion was always limited to the low rate of burning of its solid f...

A new diphosphine ligand assembled on the cyclotriphosphazene platform forms linear chelate and dimetallic bridged complexes with Au(I) and a cis-chelate complex with Pt(II).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(4)N(2)O(2), comprises half of a potentially tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand, located about a twofold rotation axis which bis-ects the central C-C bond of the ethane-1,2-diamine group. In the solid state, the compound exists in the zwitterionic form. There are two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds making S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal...

study of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of glyoxaldihydrazone in dimethylsulfoxide and deuterochlorofonn leads to the conclusion that this compound exists predominantly in non-chelate structure
