The current epidemic of infections caused by antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria requires the discovery of new drug targets and the development of new therapeutics. Lipoteichoic acid (LTA), a cell wall polymer of gram-positive bacteria, consists of 1,3-polyglycerol-phosphate linked to glycolipid. LTA synthase (LtaS) polymerizes polyglycerol-phosphate from phosphatidylglycerol, a reactio...

A series of new 4-(((4-(5-(Aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)benzyl)oxy)methyl)-2,6-dimethoxy phenol (6a-i) were synthesized from cyclization of 4-(((4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy benzyl)oxy)methyl) benzohydrazide with substituted carboxylic acid in the presences of phosphorusoxy chloride.The resulting compounds were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and HRMS data. 2,2-Diphenyl1-picrylhydrazide (DPPH) a...

Five new 1-(2-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)-5-(aryl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-3-(2H)-yl) ethanone compounds 5a-e were synthesized by cyclization of N-acylhydrazones 4a-e with acetic anhydride under reflux conditions. Their structures were fully characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, and ¹³C-NMR. Furthermore, evaluations of the antibacterial activity of the 1,3,4-oxadiazoles 5a-e and N-acylhydrazones 4a-e showed strong acti...

In the title compound, [Co(C(9)H(6)N(3)O(3)S)(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·H(2)O, the two 2-{[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfan-yl}acetate ligands are monodentate. One coordinates the metal atom via the pyridyl N atom whereas the other coordinates via the carboxyl-ate O atom. The Co(II) atom adopts a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry with four O atoms of the coordinated water mol...

In the title compound {systematic name: 4-[4-eth-oxy-carbonyl-5-(3,4-methyl-ene-dioxy-phen-yl)-3-oxocyclo-hex-1-en-1-yl]-3-phenyl-1,2,3-oxadiazol-3-ium-5-olate}, C(24)H(20)N(2)O(7), the cyclo-hexene and dioxole rings adopt envelope conformations. The sydnone ring and the attached phenyl ring form a dihedral angle of 79.0 (1)°. In the mol-ecular structure, a C-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6)...

Some novel 4,5-disubstituted-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (3, 6, 8, 9) derivatives and or 3-(4-methylphenyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3]benzoxazole (5) were synthesized from the reaction of various ester ethoxycarbonylhydrazones (1a-e) with several primary amines. The synthesis of 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-[(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)methyl]-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (13)...

in this article differential transformation method (dtms) has been used to solve neutral functional-differential equations with proportional delays. the method can simply be applied to many linear and nonlinear problems and is capable of reducing the size of computational work while still providing the series solution with fast convergence rate. exact solutions can also be obtained from the kno...

in this paper, we apply the differential transform (dt) method for finding approximate solution of the system of linear and nonlinear volterra integro-differential equations with variable coefficients, especially of higher order. we also obtain an error bound for the approximate solution. since, in this method the coefficients of taylor series expansion of solution is obtained by a recurrence r...
