Steroid degradation by Comamonas testosteroni and Nocardia restrictus have been intensively studied for the purpose of obtaining materials for steroid drug synthesis. C. testosteroni degrades side chains and converts single/double bonds of certain steroid compounds to produce androsta-1,4-diene 3,17-dione or the derivative. Following 9α-hydroxylation leads to aromatization of the A-ring accompa...

1,8-dioxo-decahydroacridines have been synthesized by the three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amines (or ammonium acetate), and dimedone in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) under solvent-free conditions. excellent yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, and easy work-up procedures are advantages of this green method.

in this work, different ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their src kinase inhibitory activity. for this purpose, the appropriate substituted acetophenone derivatives reacted with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium ethoxide in dried ethanol to give the corresponding products. all compounds showed moderate activities comparing with staurosporine a...

The crystal structure of N-(3,9-dimethyl-4-phenyl-2,5-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-pyrano[3,2-c]chromen-3-yl)-N-methylbenzamide methanol monosolvate, C(28)H(23)NO(5)·CH(3)OH, has been determined at room temperature by X-ray diffraction. Structural parameters are discussed with reference to ab initio calculations.
