In the title compound, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(3))(NO(3))(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)], the asymmetric unit contains a Ni(II) atom, two mol-ecules of 2-(benzyl-amino)pyridine, a mol-ecule of deprotonated o-vanillin (3-methoxy-salicylaldehydate) and a bidentate nitrate anion. The Ni(II) center is six-coordinated by two pyridine N atoms from 2-(benzyl-amino)pyridine, two O atoms from o-vanillin and two O atoms from...

Two protein kinase-inhibitors, 6-dimethyl amino purine and 2-amino purine inhibited induction of beta-casein synthesis by prolactin when added to the culture medium of rabbit mammary explant and cells. The accumulation of the mRNA for alpha s1- and beta-caseins and for whey acidic protein did not take place in the presence of the inhibitors whereas beta-actin mRNA concentration was not altered....

A method for synthesis without protecting groups of bis(indolyl)methanes by the (η-benzyl)palladium system generated from a palladium catalyst and benzyl alcohol in water is developed. This domino protocol involves C3–H bond activation/benzylation of indole–carboxylic acids and benzylic C–H functionalization. Mechanistic studies indicate that the (η-benzyl)palladium(II) complex, which is formed...

The choice is yours: a highly stereoselective synthesis of α-alkyl-α-hydroxy-β-amino esters is accomplished through a tandem Wittig-rearrangement/Mannich reaction sequence. Transformations of N-benzyl or N-Boc imines proceed with high selectivity for formation of syn-amino alcohol derivatives, whereas N-Boc-2-(phenylsulfonyl)amines generate anti-amino alcohol products. Auxiliary cleavage (trans...

The title compound, C9H10N4O, was obtained unintentionally by hydrolysis of 4-amino-1-benzyl-5-methyl-sulfanyl-1,2,4-triazolium tetra-fluoro-borate in the presence of sodium azide. In the crystal, alternating layers of polar amino-triazolinone and apolar benzene moieties are observed. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amino and carbonyl groups form infinite chains along [010]. These infinite cha...

The complete nucleotide sequence of rice dwarf virus (RDV) genome segment 4 was determined. Genome segment 4 was 2468 nucleotides long and had a long open reading frame initiating at nucleotides 64 to 66 and terminating at 2245 to 2247. The deduced polypeptide contained 727 amino acid residues with an Mr of 79.8K. Amino acid sequences similar to a 'zinc-finger' and purine NTP-binding motifs wer...

Haloalkyl purines i.e. 2,6-diamino-8-(chloromethyl) purine 10; 2, 6-diamino-X- (chloromethyl) purine 17; 2,6-diamino-8-(chloropropylp) urine 18; were synthesized by two distinct but facile methods. The N-alkylating potential of 2, 6-diamino-8- (chloromethyl) purine was investigated. The following products 2,6-diamino-8-(Nbenzyl- N-methyl) purine 11; 2,6-diamino-8-(4-nitro anilinomethyl) pur...

BACKGROUND Purine nucleotides are essential metabolites for living organisms because they are involved in many important processes, such as nucleic acid synthesis, energy supply, and biosynthesis of several amino acids and riboflavin. Owing to the pivotal roles of purines in cell physiology, the pool of intracellular purine nucleotides must be maintained under strict control, and hence the de n...

The present study aims to investigate the numerous factors influencing Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis). Factors affecting transformation efficiency, such as age of explants, Agrobacterium concentration, and effect of acetosyringone, pre-cultivation, infection and co-cultivation time of Agrobacterium were examined. The ...

In vitro shoot multiplication of Merton I. 793, a clonal apple rootstock, was achieved through terminal/axillary bud culture using Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.5-1.0 mg/L 6-benzyl amino purine (BA) and 0.1 mg/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Time of collection of explants, duration of surface sterilents and growth regulators added in the medium influenced the survival...
