Nucleic acid biosynthesis of Angiostrongylus costaricensis was examined with various inhibitors; aminopterin (inhibitor of purine and pyrimidine de novo biosynthetic pathways), 8-azaguanine (specific inhibitor of purine salvage pathway) and PALA (specific inhibitor of pyrimidine de novo biosynthetic pathway) were applied in in vitro culture developing from the third stage larvae to young adult ...

In the title compound, C(35)H(32)N(4)O(4), the pyrazole ring forms a dihedral angle of 15.04 (8)° with the adjacent pyrimidine ring. The pyrimidine ring forms dihedral angles of 9.95 (8) and 1.86 (7)° with its adjacent meth-oxy-substituted benzene rings, whereas the equivalent angles are 80.24 (9) and 11.55 (9)° for the pyrazole ring and its adjacent benzene rings. The crystal packing features ...

The pyrimidine and benzene rings in the title compound, C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2), form a dihedral angle of 71.03 (7)°, with the roughly orthogonal benzene ring being folded towards one of the pyrimidine N atoms. In the crystal, pairs of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect mol-ecules related by twofold symmetry into dimeric aggregates. These associate into a supra-molecular chain propagating along the b axis ...

In mice and rats fed a certain synthetic diet, an injection of 2-methyl-6amino-5-hydroxymethyl pyrimidine, the pyrimidine moiety of thiamine, causes paroxysms of convulsion accompanied with violent movements so peculiar as to be expressed as "running around as a ball". These attacks occur repeat edly at certain intervals and cause the death of the test, animal in most cases. We called this pyri...

In the title complex, [PdBr(2)(C(13)H(18)N(2))(2)], the Pd(II) atom is situated on an inversion center. The tetra-hydro-pyrimidine group of the N-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)-1,4,5,6-tetra-hydro-pyrimidine ligand is twisted from the square (PdN(2)Br(2)) coordination plane with a C-N-Pd-Br torsion angle of 81.8 (4)°; this is different from the angle of 43.47 (14)°, reported in a closely related str...

The pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic (pyr) operon in Bacillus subtilis is regulated by a transcriptional attenuation mechanism in which PyrR, a bifunctional pyr RNA-binding attenuation protein/uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, plays a crucial role. A convenient procedure for isolation of pyrR mutants with defects in the regulation of pyr operon expression is described. The selection is based ...

This paper describes the silver dinuclear complex [Ag2L2(NO3)2] Æ 2H2O, where L represents the bridging ligand 7,8-dihydro-7oxo-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine, this being the first example of a coordination compound of a 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidine derivative. As a difference with the most studied 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, the coordination takes place through the contigu...

The crystal structures of 1-[5-[4,6-bis(methylsulfanyl)-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]pentyl]-6-methylsulfanyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, C(22)H(29)N(9)S(3), and 6-methylsulfanyl-1-[5-[6-methylsulfanyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-2H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-2-yl]pentyl]-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine, C(25)H(34)N(10)S(2), which differ in having either a pyrro...

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Ag(2)(CF(3)SO(3))(2)(C(11)H(11)N(3)S)(2)], the Ag(I) atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl-methyl-sulfan-yl)pyrimidine ligands and one O atom from a trifluoro-methane-sulfonate anion in a distorted T-type coordination geometry. The ligand adopts a bidentate bridging coordination mode through one pyridyl N atom and one ...

Convenient procedure for the synthesis of corresponding pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives were developed via one-pot three-component reaction of aryl aldehyde derivatives, malononitrile with barbituric acids in the presence of copper (II) chloride dihydrate (CuCl2.2H2O) as highly efficient Lewis acid catalyst. This protocol has advantages such as readily and inexpensive catalyst, high reactio...
