In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2), the phenyl-ene ring is located on inversion center. The pyridyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 39.9 (1)° with the phenyl-ene ring. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a linear chain along the a axis.

The polymeric title compound, {[Ni(C(8)H(18)O(2)PS(2))(2)(C(12)H(10)N(4))]·2C(7)H(7)}(n), has a linear topology and features octa-hedrally coordinated Ni atoms with a trans-N(2)S(4) donor set. The toluene solvent mol-ecules occupy channels defined by the three-dimensional stacking of the polymeric chains. The Ni atom is located at a centre of inversion and the bridging 1,2-bis-(4-pyridylmethyl-...

DFT calculations were conducted to pursue deeper understandings on the mechanism and the explicit role of trace water in the DBU-catalyzed β-amination of NBS to chalcone. Being different from previously proposed by Liang et al., a cooperative participation of both DBU and water is noticed in the preferred mechanism. The preferential mechanistic scenario assisted by water undergoes three major s...

The present study reveals a simple isocratic RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and levocetirizine dihydrochloride in a cough syrup. The separation of these compounds was achieved within 10 min on a Phenomenex (USA) C(18) analytical column, 250×4.0 mm i.d., using an isocratic mobile phase consisting of potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 2.5...

In this study a reversed phase HPLC method for rapid and simultaneous identification and quantification of doxylamine succinate, ephedrine sulfate, dextrometorphane hydrobromide, paracetamole and sodium benzoate in cough-cold syrup formulation was described. Separation was carried out on XTerra RP 18, Waters (150 mm x 4.6 mm column, 5 μm particle size). For the analysis of investigated substanc...

The antioxidant properties of galantamine hydrobromide ((4alpha,6beta)-4a,5,9,10,11,12-hexahydro-3-methoxy-11-methyl-6H-benzofuro[3a,3,2-ef][2]benzazepin-6-ol hydrobromide) were studied in vitro, using luminol-dependent chemiluminescence and spectrophotometry. It was found that this compound was a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS). By comparing the antioxidant effects of galantamine ((...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) in an animal model. METHODS Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts were produced by seeding cultured HCEC suspensions onto human corneal stromal discs. Three insertion techniques were assessed in an ex vivo model...
