The crystalline 9-anthracene carboxylic acid and the constructed mononuclear complex were for first time discovered to show radical-induced photochromism photomagnetism after Xe lamp light irradiation.

We report the synthesis and total NMR characterization of 5-thia-1-azabicyclo-[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[[[(4''-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]oxy]-methyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]-diphenylmethyl ester-5-dioxide (5), a new cephalosporin derivative. This compound can be used as the carrier of a wide range of drugs containing an amino group. The preparation of the intermediate produc...

In insulin-producing cells of the RINm5F line, the nonmetabolized analogue of L-leucine, 2-aminobicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid decreases O2 consumption, lowers ATP content, and inhibits insulin release despite stimulation of both NH4 production and 14CO2 output from cells prelabeled with L-[U-14C]glutamine. The metabolic and secretory effects of 2-aminobicyclo[2,2,1]heptane-2-carboxyli...

In insulin-producing cells of the RINmSF line, the nonmetabolized analogue of i.-leucine, 2-aminobicyclo|2,2,1 |heptane-2-carboxylic acid de creases <), consumption, lowers ATP content, and inhibits insulin release despite stimulation of both Ml, production and "(<)., output from cells prelabeled with L-|i/-uC]glutamine. The metabolic and secretory effects of 2-aminobicyclo|2,2,l|heptane-2-carb...

We developed an ion-exclusion/adsorption chromatography (IEAC) method employing a polystyrene-divinylbenzene-based weakly acidic cation-exchange resin (PS-WCX) column with propionic acid as the eluent for the simultaneous determination of multivalent aliphatic carboxylic acids and ethanol in food samples. The PS-WCX column well resolved mono-, di-, and trivalent carboxylic acids in the acidic e...

Flash photolysis of 10-diazo-9(10H)-phenanthrenone in aqueous solution was found to give two successively formed transient species and to produce fluorene-9-carboxylic acid as the major reaction product. These transients were identified, through solvent isotope effects and the form of acid-base catalysis, as fluorenylideneketene, formed by photo-Wolff reaction of the diazophenanthrenone, and fl...

Chemical investigations of a microfungus Xylaria sp. isolated from the Australian rainforest tree Glochidion ferdinandi have afforded two new natural products, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (1) and 2-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-8-methoxy-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid (2). Compound 1 has previously been synthesised but only partially characterised. Methylatio...

Chemical investigation of the fungus Penicillium sp. SCSIO Ind16F01 derived from deep-sea sediment sample afforded a new xanthone, 3,8-dihydroxy-2-methyl-9-oxoxanthene-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (1) and a new chromone, coniochaetone J (2), together with three known xanthones, 8-hydroxy-6-methyl-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3), 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methyl-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-...

The biosynthesis of carboxylic acids including fatty acids from biomass is central in envisaged biorefinery concepts. The productivities are often, however, low due to product toxicity that hamper whole-cell biocatalyst performance. Here, we have investigated factors that influence the tolerance of Escherichia coli to medium chain carboxylic acid (i.e., n-heptanoic acid)-induced stress. The met...
