There is an unmet need for an intravenous (i.v.) neuraminidase inhibitor, particularly for patients with severe influenza who cannot take oral medication. Two phase I pharmacokinetic and safety studies of i.v. oseltamivir were carried out in healthy volunteers. The first was an open-label, randomized, four-period, two-sequence, single-dose trial of 100 mg, 200 mg, and 400 mg oseltamivir i.v. ov...

The structure of ethyl 2-amino-4-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazole-5carboxylate, C10H16N2O2S, (I), and the structure of the 1:1 adduct 6-methylimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole±2-amino-1,3-thiazole (1/1), C6H6N2S C3H4N2S, (II), have been determined. The molecules in (I) associate via a hydrogen-bonded R2(8) dimer consisting of NÐH N interactions, with the hydrogenbonding array additionally involving NÐH O interacti...

The combinative use of Au(I), a skeletally flexible diphosphine and a bifunctional spacer of pyridyl carboxylate with tunable directional and donor properties has resulted in a series of structurally distinctive ensembles and Au(2) metalloligands with O-donicity.

The clusters Ti(6)O(4)(OPr)(8)(OOC(CH(2))(2)C[triple bond]CH)(8) and [Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(OOC(CH(2))(3)C[triple bond]CH)(12)](2) with acetylenic carboxylate ligands were prepared and structurally characterized in solution and in the crystalline state. Model reactions showed that they are suitable candidates for the formation of cluster-based inorganic-organic hybrid materials by alkyne-azide click...

The adsorption of l-histidine on gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticle surfaces has been comparatively analyzed by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The SERS spectra of l-histidine on Ag were found to be quite different from those on Au, indicating dissimilar adsorption structures depending on metal substrates. Most peaks of l-histidine on Ag appeared to be due to coordination...

The molecules of ethyl 5-amino-1-(4-cyanophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, C13H12N4O2, are linked into a chain of alternating R(2)2(10) and R(4)4(34) rings by a combination of N-H...N and C-H...N hydrogen bonds. In ethyl 5-amino-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate, C12H12ClN3O2, where the ethyl group is disordered over two sets of sites, a combination of N-H...O, N-H...N, C-H...N an...

The titled compounds were prepared by interaction of ethyl 2-(benzo[d]thazol-2-yl)acetate (3) with different arylidinemalononitrile derivatives (4a-c) in EtOH/TEA solution at room temperature. When 3 was treated with 2(ethoxymethylene)-malononitrile (4f) under same reaction conditions, the ethyl iminothiazolopyridine-4-carboxylate (6) was obtained. Ethyl (amino(methoxy)methyl)-3-(substitutedphe...

Covalent protein modifications by electrophilic acyl glucuronide (AG) metabolites are hypothetical causes of hypersensitivity reactions associated with certain carboxylate drugs. The complex rearrangements and reactivities of drug AG have been defined in great detail, and protein adducts of carboxylate drugs, such as diclofenac, have been found in the liver and plasma of animals and humans. Thi...

Silver- and copper-catalyzed decarboxylation reactions of aryl carboxylic acids were investigated with the aid of density functional theory calculations. The reaction mechanism starts with a carboxylate complex of silver or copper. Decarboxylation occurs via ejecting CO(2) from the carboxylate complex followed by protodemetallation with an aryl carboxylic acid molecule to regenerate the startin...
