In the title compound, C(15)H(14)N(2)O(3)·H(2)O [systematic name: 3-(7-meth-oxy-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)propanoic acid monohydrate], the fused rings make dhedral angles of 0.4 (1), 1.1 (2) and 1.4 (2)°. In the crystal, the water mol-ecule is involved in the formation of three independent hydrogen-bonded chains via O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while the carb-oxy group forms an inter-molecu...

BACKGROUND Nowadays, scourge of malaria as a fatalistic disease has increased due to emergence of drug resistance and tolerance among different strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Emergence of chloroquine (CQ) resistance has worsened the calamity as CQ is still considered the most efficient, safe and cost effective drug among other antimalarials. This urged the scientists to search for other alte...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(17)N(2)O)(2)[ZnCl(4)]·2H(2)O, contains two tetra-hydro-harmine cations, one tetra-chloro-zincate(II) anion and two water mol-ecules. In the cations, the two 1H-indole ring systems are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.016 (2) and 0.018 (2) Å, and both tetra-hydro-pyridinium rings show a half-chair conformation. The Zn(II) complex...

In the title compound, C(19)H(21)N(2)O(2) (+)·C(2)H(3)O(2) (-), the 1H-indole ring system is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.0257 (14) Å] and forms a dihedral angle of 87.92 (7) Å with the benzene ring attached to the tetra-hydro-pyridinium fragment. The tetra-hydro-pyridinium ring adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, cations and anions are linked by inter-ionic N-H⋯O, C-...

OBJECTIVE Angiotensin II (Ang II) is implicated in processes underlying the development of arterial wall remodeling events, including cellular hypertrophy and inflammation. We previously documented the activation of IκB kinase-β (IKKβ) in Ang II-treated cells, a kinase involved in inflammatory reactions. In light of a study suggesting a role of IKKβ in angiogenesis through its effect on the tub...
