moclobemide is a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase-a inhibitor, which is used as an antidepressant. three moclobemide analogues were synthesized by replacing moclobemide phenyl ring with substituted imidazoles. so, n-[(4-morpholinyl) ethyl)]-1-benzyl-2-(alkylthio)-1h-imidazole-5-carboxamides (7a-c) were synthesized and studied for the antidepressant activity using forced swimming test ...

The strategy of the nucleophilic substitution hydrogen (SNH) was first applied for metal-free C-H/C-H coupling reactions 4H-imidazole 3-oxides with indoles. As a result, series novel bifunctional azaheterocyclic derivatives were obtained in yields up to 95%. In silico experiments on molecular docking performed evaluate binding possibility synthesized small molecules selected biotargets (BACE1, ...

3- And 9-component Pd(0) catalysed assembly of allenes, aryl iodides and N-nucleophiles with concomitant installation of trisubstituted Z-alkenes is readily achieved.

The stereospecific and regioselective C(3) alkynylation of trisubstituted epoxides has been achieved with lithium alkynyl trimethylaluminium ate complexes in the presence of BF3 x OEt2.

A variety of 1,1,2-trisubstituted-1H-indenes are synthesized by the reaction of aliphatic ketones, aryl-substituted alkynes and NbCl3(DME) in 1,2-dichloroethane under reflux conditions.

There is considerable evidence that a critical reaction in purine synthesis is the closure of the purine ring by the addition of a “formate” group to 4-amino-5-imidazolecarboxamide ribonucleotide (1). Apparently the “formate” is added as an active intermediate, since formate as such has little effect in stimulating purine synthesis. Indeed, there is a demonstrable difference in the utilization ...

The rational design and synthesis of a highly potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease have been accomplished. The inhibitor, SB 206343, is based on a model derived from the structure of the MVT-101/HIV-1 protease complex and contains a 4(5)-acylimidazole ring as an isosteric replacement for the P1'--P2' amide bond. It is a competitive inhibitor with an apparent inhibition constant of 0.6 nM at pH 6....

The title compound, C(5)H(4)N(10)·H(2)O, is composed of three five-membered rings that are essentially coplanar, the dihedral angles between the imidazole ring and the tetra-zole rings being 3.5 (2) and 3.0 (2)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond is also present.
