The synthesis of (2S)-2-benzyloxymethyl-3-(2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)- propionic acid, (2S)-2-benzyloxymethyl-3-(2-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)propionic acid and (2S)-2-benzyl-oxymethyl-3-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)propionic acid has been achieved by TiCl4 mediated alkylation of the corresponding (4R)-4-benzyl-3-[3-(2-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl-, 2-fluoro-4-methylphenyl-, 2,4- dimethylphenyl-)propionyl]-2-oxazol...

The activity of the (R, S)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, (R,S) -2-amino-3-[5-tert-butyl-3-(phosphonomethoxy)-4-isoxazolyl] propionic acid (ATPO), at recombinant ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluRs) was evaluated using electrophysiological techniques. Responses at homo- or heterooligomeric AMPA-preferring GluRs expressed in human embryoni...

Two acyclic Schiff-base ligands, bis-5,5′-(1,3-propanediyldiimino)-2,2-dimethyl-4-hexene-3-one and bis-5,5′-(1,3-ethanediyldiimino)-2,2-dimethyl-4-hexene-3-one, were used to complex homoleptic triethylaluminum and tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]alu minum, respectively. The acid–base reactions proceeded in excellent yields with elimination of ethane or bis(trimethylsilyl)amine during in situ depr...

TAN-1511 analogues were synthesized and their effects on the proliferation of bone marrow cells were examined. To exert potent activity the following conditions are necessary: the configuration of the 2-amino-6,7-dihydroxy-4-thiaheptanoic acid moiety must be (2R,6R), long chain acyl groups (C14 to C18) must be bound to both hydroxyl groups, the amino group must be free or acylated with the long...

In the crystal of the title compound, C(11)H(12)O(4), inversion dimers arise from pairs of intermolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯O bonds further consolidate the packing. There is also a C-H⋯π contact between the benzene ring and the methyl-ene group.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(10)H(9)Cl(2)NO(3), consists of dimers due to inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring through the carboxyl- groups. These dimers are linked to each other by inter-molecular hydrogen bonds between the amine group and the adjacent carbonyl O atom. A single C-Cl⋯π inter-action is also observed between the chloro-substituted a...

Factors affecting in vitro ruminal bacterial VFA production were examined. Treatments consisted of high and low initial pH (6.7, 5.7), osmolality (600, 400 mOsm) and concentrations of acetic (40, 0 mM) and propionic acids (20, 0 mM). Response variables measured included the production of acetic, propionic and total VFA, total gas and methane. Initial pH affected (P less than .05) most variables...

Bis-MPA dendron-coated free-base tetraphenylporphyrin and zinc-tetraphenyl-porphyrin (TPPH(2) and TPPZn) were studied in comparison with simple porphyrins (H(2)P, ZnP) by theoretical simulation of their infrared, Raman and electronic absorption spectra, as well as fluorescense emission. Infrared and fluorescence spectra of the dendrimers were measured and interpreted along with time-resolved me...

This study aimed to compare the metabolic profile of unstimulated (US) and stimulated (SS) saliva samples from pregnant women with/without obesity periodontitis. Ninety-six were divided into: + periodontitis (OP = 20); obesity/no (OWP 27); normal BMI (NP BMI/no (NWP 29). US SS collected by expectoration chewing sterilized parafilm gum, respectively, individually analyzed Proton Nuclear Magnetic...
