Three series of 6-aryl-2-methylnicotinohydrazides 4a-i, N'-arylidene-6-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylnicotino hydrazides 7a-f, and N'-(un/substituted 2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-6-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methylnicotinohydrazides 8a-c were synthesized and evaluated for their potential in vitro antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis. The results showed that isatin hydrazides 8a-c are remarkably more...

A convenient and efficient method for the constructions of 3-spirooxindole derivatives or 3,3'-disubstituted oxindoles has been developed from one-pot reactions of isatins, hydrazides or aromatic amines, 2-(bromomethyl)acrylic ester and tin powder in the presence of a catalytic amount of Brønsted or Lewis acid. The method avoids the use of toxic stannanes and allows easy operation. It is also p...

Fatty hydrazides (FH) have been successfully synthesized from palm oils by a one-step lipase catalyzed reaction. The synthesis was carried out by treating the oils with hydrazine hydrate at neutral pH using an immobilized lipase, Lipozyme as the catalyst. The percentages of conversion of RBD (refined, bleached and deodorized) palm oil (PO), RBD palm olein (POn), RBD palm stearin (PS) and RBD pa...

The iso-nicotinic acid hydrazides are valuable agents against tuberculosis exerting a powerful bacteriostatic action on the tubercle bacillus,’ diffusing readily into the cerebro spinal fluid,2 concentrating (as demonstrated by tissue cultures) effectively within macrophages3 and absorbed after oral administration without gastro-intestinal irritation. Such a combination of desirable attributes ...

PAGE Inhibition of the alanine-oxoglutaric acid transaminase of pig-heart muscle by cyclic hydrazides.

We have developed a new method for accurate quantification of dead microbial cells. This technique employs the simultaneous use of fluorescent hydrazides and nucleic acid dyes. Fluorescent hydrazides allow detection of cells that cannot be detected with currently used high-affinity nucleic acid dyes. This is particularly important for nongrowing bacterial populations and for multicellular commu...

Treatment of O-acyl lipids with hydrazine degrades them to hydrazides of the constituent fatty acids. These hydrazides react with acetone to yield less polar and more volatile N'-isopropylidenealkanohydrazides, R-CO-NH-N = C(CH3)2, which strongly absorb ultraviolet light and are amenable to thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatographic analyses. In presence of cyclopentene, reduction of double bond...
