The term 'barbiturate' refers to drugs which are derivatives of barbituric acid (malonylurea). Barbituric acid itself has no significant psychotropic properties, but its derivatives may have a variety of effects on the central nervous system. Certain of those compounds with significant depressant or sedative-hypnotic properties are of primary importance in medical and nonmedical use. Many of th...

The reaction between barbituric acid or 2-thiobarbituric acid and different benzaldehydes, dependent upon the applied reaction conditions, selectively yields three different product types, i.e. 5-benzylidene(thio)barbituric acids II, symetric Michael adducts III or 5-phenyl-1H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-diones and 5-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones IV. Th...

A series of arylidine barbituric acid derivatives was synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid or thiobarbituric acid using dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as a Brønsted acid-surfactant catalyst in aqueous media. Regardless of the nature of the substitution (electron-donating and -withdrawing), all the reactions were completed within 15-65 min in w...

Radiolysis products resulting from the deamination pathway were isolated and identified after irradiation of cytosine by gamma rays in neutral aqueous solutions. They were identical to those identified in uracil radiolysis i. e. 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-uracil (cis and trans forms), iso-dialuric acid, alloxan, 5-hydroxy-hydantoin, parabanic acid and oxaluric acid. The absence of 4,4'-di-iso-ba...

A STEROID compound 21-hydroxy-preghalf to one hour prior to anaesthesia. A nane-3, 20-dione sodium succinate 4-litre to 2-litre flow of nitrous-oxide (Viadril) has been used as an intravenous oxygen was administered during the placeanaesthetic. The changes in the electroencephalogram produced by this agent have been observed by Boyan et al. (1955) to be similar to the changes reported by Kierse...

Through the co-polymerisation of dicyandiamide and barbituric acid precursors, a series visible light active carbon nitride photocatalysts has been prepared characterized, their photocatalytic activity evaluated....

Electrochemical oxidation of leaves extract of lemon verbena and the flowers extract of echium amoenum have been studied in the absence and presence of barbituric acid and 1,3 dimethyl barbituric acidin aqueous solutions and biological pH, using cyclic voltammetry method. The results showed that the electrochemically generated compounds in leaves extract of lemon verbena and the flowers extract...

A commercially available rhodium(II) complex catalyzes the direct arylation of 5-diazobarbituric acids with arenes, allowing straightforward access to 5-aryl barbituric acids. Free N-H groups are tolerated on the barbituric acid, with no complications arising from N-H insertion processes. This method was applied to the concise synthesis of a potent matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor.

In this study a multicomponent reaction involving carbohydrate derivatives as the main component in order to prepare a new library of polyhydroxy compounds incorporating pyrimidine-fused heterocycles (PFHs) is introduced. A set of polyhydroxy functionalized PFHs were synthesized using multicomponent reactions of sugar (glucose, galactose, arabinose and lactose), barbituric acid and amines. Also...

tetra-n-butyl ammonium hydroxide was used as a catalyst for one-pot, three component condensation reactions consisting of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and barbituric acid in ethanol:water solvent system at 60oc. current method has major advantages like mild reaction conditions with simple operation, high yields, by using a less toxic and lower costlier catalyst.in conclusion, we have explo...
