8-Amino-2-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline maleate (nomifensine), an antidepressant drug, was withdrawn from the market because of increased incidence of hemolytic anemia, as well as kidney and liver toxicity. Although the nature of the potentially reactive metabolites formed after nomifensine metabolism remains unknown and no glutathione (GSH) adducts of these nomifensine reactiv...

A recombinant strain, Escherichia coli JM109-AN1, was obtained by constructing of a genomic library of the total DNA of Delftia sp. AN3 in E. coli JM109 and screening for catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity. This recombinant strain could grow on aniline as sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source. Enzymatic assays revealed that the exogenous genes including aniline dioxygenase (AD) and catechol 2,...

Theafulvins were isolated from black tea aqueous infusions and their antimutagenic activity was evaluated against a number of food carcinogens. Theafulvins gave rise to a concentration-dependent inhibition of the mutagenicity of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo-[4,5-f]quinoline, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine, benzo[a]pyrene, 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, nitrosopyrrolidine and nitros...

A rapid and chemoselective method for the N-formylation of structurally diverse anilines with formic acid using nanoalumina sulfonic acid (NASA) at 70oC under solvent-free condition has been developed. The catalyst was found to be compatible with different functional groups and the formylation proceeded smoothly with anilines bearing electron withdrawing as well as electron donating substituents.

In this study, a novel amperometric glucose biosensor with immobilization of glucose oxidase on electrochemically polymerized polyaniline-polyvinylsulphonate (Pani-Pvs) films has been accomplished via the entrapment technique. Electropolymerization of aniline on the Pt surface of the Pt electrode was carried out at constant potential (0.75 V, vs. Ag/AgCl) using an electrochemical cell containin...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(16)ClNO(2)S, contains two independent moleules. The conformation of the N-H bonds are anti to the ortho-methyl groups in the sulfonyl benzene rings of both the mol-ecules, while the N-H bonds are anti to the ortho- and meta-methyl groups in the aniline ring of one of the mol-ecules and syn in the other. Furthermore, the torsion angles of the C-S...

The title compound, C(23)H(17)N(3)O, has been previously described in a monoclinic P2(1)/c polymorph with Z = 4 [Asiri, Al-Youbi, Faidallah, Ng & Tiekink (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, o2449]. In the new monoclinic P2(1)/n form, with Z = 8, there are two independent mol-ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. In both mol-ecules, the cyclo-hexa-1,3-diene ring has a screw-boat conformation, whereas it...

Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus JA2 and other anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria produce indole derivatives when exposed to aniline, a xenobiotic compound. Though this phenomenon has been reported previously, the role of aniline in the production of indoles is still a biochemical riddle. The present study aims at understanding the specific role of aniline (as precursor or stimulator) in the producti...

The title compound, C(19)H(18)N(4)O(4)S, exists as a zwitterion in the solid state, with nominal proton transfer from a phenol group to the imine N atom. The 2,3-dihy-droxy-benzaldehyde fragment is oriented at a dihedral angle of 35.51 (11)° to the adajacent aniline group and makes a dihedral angle of 76.99 (6)° with the 4,6-dimethyl-pyrimidin-2-amine group. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydr...
