The title compound, C(16)H(11)N(3)O(3), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules which are almost identical to each other in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the nitro-benzene ring is 51.04 (9)° in one of the mol-ecules and 48.91 (9)° in the other. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter-actions, with a centroid-ce...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C11H15N3O2S, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯S hydrogen, forming inversion dimers. These dimers are linked by N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming double-stranded chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The two C atoms of the end chain of the mol-ecule are disordered over two sets os sites [occupancy ratio 0.574 (9):0.426 (9)].

BACKGROUND Urotensin II (U-II) is a novel vasoactive peptide that also has direct hypertrophic and profibrotic effects on the myocardium. Upregulation of U-II and its receptor has been observed within the heart of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Furthermore, plasma levels of U-II have been found to be elevated in some but not all studies in such patients. However, the functional cons...

3H-DHT binding was examined in cultured skin fibroblasts from a patient with complete testicular feminisation (CTF), from his heterozygote mother, and his clinically normal sister, who menstruated normally. Binding parameters were: Bmax less than 1 fmol/mg protein and KD unmeasurable in CTF; Bmax = 24 fmol/mg protein and KD = 3.63 X 10(-9) mol/l in the mother; and Bmax = 46 fmol/mg protein and...

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(12)H(9)BrO(2), the methoxy-carbonyl group is twisted by a dihedral angle of 29.8 (3)°with respect to the naphthalene ring system. An overlapped arrangement is observed between parallel naphthalene ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules, and the face-to-face distance of 3.590 (9) Å suggests there is π-π stacking in the crystal structure.

In the quinoline fused-ring system of the title compound, C(9)H(9)NO, the pyridine ring is planar to within 0.011 (3) Å, while the partially saturated cyclo-hexene ring adopts a sofa conformation with an asymmetry parameter ΔC(s)(C6) = 1.5 (4)°. There are no classical hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure. Mol-ecules form mol-ecular layers parallel to (100) with a distance between the layers ...

The title compound, C(12)H(9)NO(2), was prepared by an Aldol reaction of furfuraldehyde with 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-one. The mol-ecule is almost planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.045 Å, excluding the methyl-ene H atoms. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked via weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and aromatic π-π stacking [centroid-centroid distance = 3.6151 (9) Å].

We have attempted to determine whether interleukin-5 (IL-5), a cytokine that selectively affects eosinophil (as opposed to neutrophil) differentiation and activation, also modulates eosinophil migrational responses. Using a modified Boyden chemotaxis assay, IL-5, IL-3, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) gave a weak locomotory response for eosinophils from normal nonat...

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H17NO4, with similar conformations but some differences in their bond angles. Each mol-ecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the methyl-idene C=N bond and is twisted with a dihedral angle between the two substituted benzene rings of 80.52 (7)° in one mol-ecule and 83.53 (7)° in the other. All meth...
