Degradation of TNT by bovine rumen fluid, a novel source of anaerobic microbes, was investigated. Whole rumen fluid contents were spiked with TNT and incubated for a 24h time period. Supernatant samples taken at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 24h were analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC with diode array detection. Within 1h, TNT was not detectable and reduction products of TNT including 2-hydroxyl-amino-4,6-dinitr...

Three new Prussian blue analogues, heptanuclear mixed-valence iron complexes of the type [Fe(II)(CN)(6){Fe(III)(1(-2H))}(6)]Cl(2)·nH(2)O, were synthesized and structurally and spectrally characterized, and their magnetic properties were investigated (1(-2H) corresponds to doubly deprotoned Schiff-base pentadentate ligands 1a, N,N'-bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,5-diamino-3-azapentane, 1b, N,N'-bi...

the discovery of the antifertility activity of gossypol led scientists and researchers to the development of compounds with antifertility activity that can be used as male contraceptives. these studies resulted in discovery of the antifertility activity of several classes of compounds which have been reported in the literature. this article deals with the synthesis of four new analogues of pyri...

Abstract Nitrogen‐rich carbon nitrides are desired materials for base‐catalysed transformations; however, their synthesis is challenging due to the volatile nature of N at high temperatures. Herein, we report on temperature‐controlled ordered N‐rich mesoporous (MCNs) via pyrolysis aminoguanidine by using SBA‐15 as a hard template. The properties and nitrogen content were tuned varying carboniza...

Urea forms a 1:1 solvate with N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (DMA) [systematic name: diamino-methanal-N,N-dimethyl-acetamide (1/1), C(4)H(9)NO·CH(4)N(2)O] with both mol-ecules positioned on a twofold axis, giving rise to rotational disorder of the DMA mol-ecule. The mol-ecules display a layered structure in which urea mol-ecules form hydrogen-bonded ribbons bounded by mol-ecules of solvent.

Antiplasmodial 9-anilinoacridine derivatives exert their effects either by inhibiting DNA topoisomerase (topo) II or by interfering with heme crystallization within the parasite acidic food vacuole. Previous studies have shown that analogs of 9-anilinoacridine containing 3,6-diamino substitutions (in the acridine ring) inhibit Plasmodium falciparum DNA topo II in situ, whereas those with a 3,6-...

An in vitro investigation of the structure-activity profiles for a range of 9-anilinoacridines on drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum is reported. C-3, 6-diamino substitution, low lipophilicity, and high pKa values substantially increased the activities of the 9-anilinoacridines tested. There appeared to be no correlation between DNA binding and antimalarial activity. 3,6-Diamino-1'-amino-9-an...

Co3O4/NiO@GQDs@SO3H nanocatalyst has been used as an effective catalystfor the preparation of 2,4-diamino-6-arylpyrimidine-5-carbonitrile derivativesthrough a three-component reaction of malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes andguanidine hydrochloride under reflux conditions in ethanol. The catalyst has beencharacterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, BET, TGA, XPS and VSM. Atom e...
