Human polynucleotide kinase/phosphatase (hPNKP) is a 57.1-kDa enzyme that phosphorylates DNA 5'-termini and dephosphorylates DNA 3'-termini. hPNKP is involved in both single- and double-strand break repair, and cells depleted of hPNKP show a marked sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Therefore, small molecule inhibitors of hPNKP should potentially increase the sensitivity of human tumors to gamm...

      In order to investigate the effects of dimethylamino substituent at postion 2 of the dihydropyridine nucleus on its activity, dialkyl 1,4-dihydro-2-[2-(dimethy- lamino) ethyl]-6-methyl-4-(1-benzyl-2-alkylthio-5-imidazolyl)-3,5-pyrdinedicar- boxylates (6a-f) were synthesized. The synthesis was started from dialkyl 1,4- dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(1-benzyl-2-alkylthio-5-imidazolyl)-3,5-pyridine...

In order to investigate the effects of dimethylamino substituent at position 2 of the dihydropyridine nucleus on activity, starting from dialkyl l ,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4- (l-benzyl-2-alkylthio-5-imidazolyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylates (5a-f) which their synthesis and effects as calcium channel antagonist on guinea-pig ileum has been reported previously, dialkyl l,4-dihydro-2-[2-(dimethyla...

In this work, series of new chalcones derived from indole compounds were synthesized. the first compound 2-(1,1-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[e]indol-2-ylidene)malonaldehyde was synthesized reaction 1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indole with Phosphoryl chloride in presence (DMF). Schiff base (C2) prepared by 2-(1,1-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[e]indol-2-ylidene) malonaldehyde 3-amino acetophenone ...

Exhaustive hydro-distillation of the bark, heartwood and fruits of Cryptocarya massoy (Lauraceae) afforded pale yellow-coloured oils in 0.7, 1.2 and 1.0 % yields, respectively. Detailed chemical evaluation of these distillates using GC/MS revealed the major components in the bark and the heartwood oils to be the C-10 (5,6-dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one) and C-12 (5,6-dihydro-6-heptyl-2H-pyran-...

A series of hydrazones were synthesized by condensing substituted hydrazides with appropriate carbonyl compounds. The chemical structures the compounds confirmed infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, carbon-13 mass ((4-chloro-phenylamino)-acetic acid [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-phenyl-methylene]-hydrazide and (2,4-dichloro-phenylamino)-acetic (3-oxo- 1,3-dihydro-indole-2-ylidene)-hydrazide only)...
