Pseudorabies virus was photoinactivated with a combination of methylene blue dye, light, and electricity. Viral suspensions were mixed with variable amounts of methylene blue dye and then were placed in a current source apparatus. Total inactivation of pseudorabies virus (1.7 X 10(6) 50% tissue culture infective doses per ml) was achieved with constant mixing, a methylene blue dye concentration...

In continuation of our study on Cotinus coggygria from Serbia, 10 known flavonoids (1-10) were isolated the methylene chloride/methanol extract heartwood. They tested for in vitro protective effect against chromosome aberrations peripheral human lymphocytes, using cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay. All compounds (in minimal doses 1 μg/mL) exerted a beneficial by decreasing DNA damage lymphoc...

We have realized a Pd-catalyzed ring-opening of diazabicyclic olefins with 4-halo-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This reaction resulted in the formation 3(2H)-furanone-appended hydrazino cyclopentenes. The proceeds via π-allylpalladium intermediate which is attacked by active methylene species, and an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution moiety furnishes 3(2H)-furanone-substituted cyclopentene. ...

Activity-directed isolation of the methylene chloride fraction of the roots of Rubia cordifolia L. resulted in the identification of a new epoxymollugin (3) and eight known compounds (1, 2, 4-9). The structures of the compounds were elucidated from chemical and spectroscopic evidence. In addition, their topoisomerase I and II inhibitory activities and cytotoxicities were measured.

[reaction: see text] The total synthesis of the diterpene hedychilactone B 1 is reported. The exo adduct 4x, the major product of the stepwise [4+2] cycloaddition of the diene 2 and the allenoate 3, has been converted into 1 via 7 steps, among them a key nonconjugative hydrolysis of a gamma-methylene silyl enol ether and an E-selective olefination.

The title compound, C(12)H(8)BrN, was prepared as a starting material for a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction with a pinacol ester. The torsion angle about the ring-methylene C-C bond is 30.7 (3)°, such that the N atom is displaced by 1.174 (4) Å from the plane of the naphthalene ring system.

The total synthesis of the diterpene kellermanoldione 1 is reported. Stepwise [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the ketal diene 8 and the allenoate 3 afforded the exo adduct 10x as the major product. It was converted into 1 via six steps, among them a key nonconjugative hydrolysis of a gamma-methylene silyl enol ether.

Reaction of a semi-rigid tripodal ligand 1,1',1''-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tris(methylene)tripyridinium-4-olate) (TTP) with Ln(3+) (Ln = Eu, Gd) afforded rare (3,12)-connected metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). A topological simplification of such highly connected 3D MOFs on the basis of 2D CdI(2) (3,6)-nets is proposed. The luminescent and anion exchange properties of the compounds we...
