The asymmetric unit of the compound, C(20)H(26)N(2)O(5)·0.5C(2)H(5)OH, consists of two tetra-hydro-pyrimidine-2,4-dione mol-ecules and an ethanol mol-ecule. The pyrimidine rings are nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.006 Å in one mol-ecule and 0.009 Å in the other); the C atom at the 5-position deviates by 0.083 (3) Å [0.064 (3) Å in the second mol-ecule] from the mean plane and the C atom at ...

BACKGROUND The previous study showed that arylpiperazine can condition affinity to α-adrenoceptors, 5-HT1A/5-HT2A receptors and compounds with arylpiperazine had antidepressant-like effect. The aim of this study was to determine the antidepressant-like activity of new arylpiperazines containing novel 8-alkoxy-purine-2,6-dione fragments. METHODS New 3-chloroarylpiperazinylalkyl analogs of 8-al...

New 7-thio derivatives of 6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione have been synthesized by the reaction of 3-cyclohexyl-7-thio-6,7-dihydro-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione with alkylhalogenides. The synthesized compounds were tested for antioxidant activity on the model of Fe(2+)-dependent oxidation of adrenaline in vitro. It was found that the antiradical activity of...

The treatment of ortho ring-functionalised 1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione ligands bearing nitro (Hnpd, Hnmc), methoxy (Hmmc) or fluoro (Hfpp) groups with hydrated lanthanoid salts has provided [Er(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)(npd)(8)] (3), [Ln(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(nmc)(8)] (Ln = Gd (4), Tb (5), Dy (6) and Er (7)), [Er(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(mmc)(8)] (8) and [Er(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(H(2)O)(2)(fpp)(8)] (9), respectively. The ...

The chromatographic parameters of arylpiperazinylpropyl derivatives of imidazolidine-2,4-dione and imidazo[2,1-f]purine-2,4-dione were investigated using reversed-phase thin layer chromatography method. The results revealed that R(M0) of investigated compounds depended on substituent in arylpiperazinyl fragment as well as on a nature of (cycloalkyl)aromatic ring at 5 position of imidazolidine-2...

The rate constants of the Diels-Alder reaction 9,10-dimethylanthracene with tetracyanoethylene, 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione, maleic anhydride, and N-phenylmaleimide in solution have been determined. It was found that tetracyanoethylene 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione can react instantly 9,10-dimethylanthracene, which is a representative toxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. kineti...

Cyclic alcohols Cyclohexane-1.2-dione hydrolase Thiamine diphosphate Flavoenzyme Alicyclic alcohols are naturally occurring compounds wh ich can be degraded by microorgan isms via cleavage of the ring CC bond. DenitrifyingAzoarcus sp. strain 22Lin grows on cyclohexane-l .2-diol which serves as electron donor and carbon source. The diol is converted to cyclohexane-l.2-dione followed by hydrolysi...

The X-ray charge density analysis of a hydroxynaphthoquinnne derivative was obtained by multipolar Hansen-Coppens formalism refinement through high resolution X-ray diffraction data at 100(1) K. The molecularproperties of the title compound resulted from the combined experimental and the quantum theory of atoms inmolecules (QTAIM) studies. The topological properties of the covalent bonds and of...
