Abstract Amino acid decorated imidazole, pyrimidine and purine derivatives, resembling analogues of peptide nucleic acid's building blocks, have been synthesized by a three‐way multicomponent chemistry diaminomaleonitrile, one the most studied chemical precursors in prebiotic chemistry. The regioselectivity reaction between trimethyl orthoacetate selected panel α‐amino acids, was controlled ene...

Water is a versatile solvent in many ways, and in this sense performing organic reactions in this medium is now of great interest. The one-pot reaction of ethyl acetoacetate or benzyl acetoacetate, with benzaldehydes and malononitrile to provide some novel 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-2-methyl-4H-pyran-3-carboxylates has been performed over nano MgO with high performance in water as a green solvent a...

The nucleotide sequences of xylB and xylC from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, the genes encoding benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase and benzaldehyde dehydrogenase II, were determined. The complete nucleotide sequence indicates that these two genes form part of an operon and this was supported by heterologous expression and physiological studies. Benzaldehyde dehydrogenase II is a 51654 Da protein with ...

Abstract Cultivar Barangan is one of the famous banana plants that has good taste and price. The disadvantages this susceptible to Fusarium disease. Tissue culture techniques ways propagation for plant. This study aimed determine effective concentration benzyl amino purines (BAP) indole-3 acetic acid (IAA) optimal multiple bud clumps (MBC) induction in explants Merah banana. Research was carrie...

The title compound 6-amino-3-benzylmercapto-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]-triazin-8(7H)-one (4), molecular formula C(11)H(10)N(6)OS, was obtained by the reaction of 3-amino-2-benzyl-6-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazin-5(2H)-one (3) with carbon disulfide in a water/pyridine mixture. Compound 4 can also be synthesized by reacting 6-amino-3(2H)mercapto-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-f][1,2,4]triazin-8(7H)-one (7) with b...

Six new carbocyclic nucleosides were prepared by constructing a purine base (in compounds 9-11) or pyrimidine base (in 6-8) on the amino groups of (+/-)-(1 beta,2 alpha,4 beta)-4-amino-1,2-cyclopentanedimethanol (4) and (+/-)-(1 beta,3 alpha,4 beta)-4-amino-1,3-cyclopentanedimethanol (5), and their activities against a variety of viruses and tumour cell lines were determined.

The solution conformations of 2-substituted derivatives of 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)benzimidazole have been determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy in aqueous solutions. It is shown that analogs with methyl, amino, or methylamino substituents at position 2 of the benzimidazole ring (position 8 of the purine ring) have predominantly anti conformations, whereas analogs with chloro, aza, meth...

A one-pot synthesis of various N-substituted 3-amino-thiochromanes from 4-benzyl-2-methyl thiazoline via a thiazolinium salt is described. The obtained 3-amino-thiochromanes are enantiopure, as their precursors derive from chiral 2-aminoalcohols. The reaction involves the formation of a disulfide, which subsequently takes part in an unprecedented intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution.

1. The effect of an 18, 30 or 40 h fast on the rate of purine biosynthesis de novo as measured by the incorporation of [14C]formate into formylglycinamide ribonucleotide during azaserine block has been examined in the rat spleen. 2. There is a reproducible fall in the rate of purine biosynthesis de novo during fasting. Values at 40 h were approximately one-third of the values in the colony-fed ...
