Although a decrease in the prevalence of dental caries, which is chronic disease, has been reported many developed countries, early childhood caries (ECC) as an disease common, especially developing countries. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) stops prevents formation and reduces tooth sensitivity. The biggest feature that distinguishes SDF from other agents prevent it effectively process. This eff...

In the title compound, C(20)H(30)N(2), all bond distances and angles fall within the usual ranges but the C(ipso)-N distances [1.391 (5) and 1.398 (4) Å] are slightly shorter than the corresponding typical average distance of 1.42 (3) Å. The N atoms may be described as pyramidal sp(3)-hybridized with an N-H⋯H-N separation of 2.07 (2) Å. This is necessitated because the two C(bridgehead)-C(ipso)...

The complex α-[Fe(mcp)(OTf)2] (mcp = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine and OTf trifluoromethanesulfonate anion) was reported in 2011 by some of us as an active wa...

The synthesis, characterization, (1)H NMR, optical absorption and fluorescent properties of a series of amphiphilic Schiff-base bis(salicylaldiminato)zinc(II) complexes are reported. Detailed (1)H NMR, DOSY NMR, optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy studies indicate the existence of aggregate species in solutions of non-coordinating solvents. The degree of aggregation is related to t...

Oligonucleotides incorporating 8-aza-7-deazapurin-2,6-diamine (pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4,6-diamine) nucleoside 2a or its 7-bromo derivative 2b show enhanced duplex stability compared to those containing dA. While incorporation of 2a opposite dT increases the T(m) value only slightly, the 7-bromo compound 2b forms a very stable base pair which is as strong as the dG-dC pair. Compound 2b shows a...

Resistance to benznidazole in certain strains of Trypanosoma cruzi may be caused by the increased production of enzymes that act on the oxidative metabolism, such as mitochondrial tryparedoxin peroxidase which catalyses the reduction of peroxides. This work presents cytotoxicity assays performed with ferrocenyl diamine hydrochlorides in six different strains of T. cruzi epimastigote forms (Y, B...

A novel synthetic approach toward a poorly explored bioorganometallic consisting of ferrocene-1,1'-diamine bearing structurally and chirally diverse amino acid sequences is reported. Until now, ferrocene-1,1'-diamine was suitable for accommodating only identical amino acid sequences at its N-termini, leading to the symmetrically disubstituted homochiral products stabilized through a 14-membered...
