The stabilization of the pyrimidine anion by the addition of water molecules is studied experimentally using photoelectron spectroscopy of mass-selected hydrated pyrimidine clusters and computationally using quantum-mechanical electronic structure theory. Although the pyrimidine molecular anion is not observed experimentally, the addition of a single water molecule is sufficient to impart a pos...

The DNA bisintercalator triostin A is structurally based on a disulfide-bridged depsipeptide scaffold that provides preorganization of two quinoxaline units in 10.5 Å distance. Triostin A analogues are synthesized with nucleobase recognition units replacing the quinoxalines and containing two additional recognition units in between. Thus, four nucleobase recognition units are organized on a rig...

Easily synthesized1-methyl-3-(2-oxyethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium-borate sulfonic acid {[MOEI]-BSA} as a novel catalyst efficiently promoted the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives via condensation of various diamines with 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds at room temperature conditions in ethanol. This research provides a new method for the synthesis of quinoxalines in good to excellent yields with little c...

michael addition of pyrimidine and purine nucleobases to substituted as well as unsubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters efficiently proceeds in the presence of catalytic amount of zinc oxide in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (zno/[bmim]br) under microwave irradiation to afford carboacyclic nucleosides, as biologically important compounds, in good to excellent yields and in short ...

Abstract Background Cancer is a global health challenge, it impacts the quality of life and its treatment associated with several side effects. Resistance cancer cells to existing drugs has led search for novel anticancer agents. Pyrimidine, privileged scaffold, part living organisms plays vital role in various biological procedures as well pathogenesis. Due resemblance structure nucleotide bas...

Transcription of the carAB operon encoding the unique carbamoylphosphate synthase of Escherichia coli reflects the dual function of carbamoylphosphate in the biosynthesis of arginine and pyrimidine nucleotides. The tandem pair of promoters is regulated by various mechanisms depending on the needs of both pathways and the maintenance of a pyrimidine/purine nucleotide balance. Here we focus on th...

The title compound, C(15)H(13)ClN(6), contains two pyrimidine rings and one benzene ring, where the dihedral angle between the planes through the pyrimidine rings is 81.57 (10)°, and those between the pyrimidine rings and the benzene ring are 84.02 (8) and 89.46 (7)°, indicating that the three rings are almost perpendicular. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecul...
