In the present study, a series of 2-substituted-pyridines were synthesized and characterized by IR, (1)H-NMR and Elemental Analysis. The compounds were assayed against seizures induced by maximal electro shock (MES) and pentylenetetrazole (scMet). Neurologic deficit was evaluated by the rotarod test. The decrease in the elevated motor activity by introceptive chemical stimuli (amphetamine antag...

Aminopyridines such as 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) are widely used as voltage-activated K(+) (Kv) channel blockers and can improve neuromuscular function in patients with spinal cord injury, myasthenia gravis, or multiple sclerosis. Here, we present novel evidence that 4-AP and several of its analogs directly stimulate high voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels (HVACCs) in acutely dissociated neurons. 4...

Treatment of 4-heptafluoroisopropyl-2-methoxy-3,5,6-trifluropyridine (4 ) with aqueous ammonia in THF gave 2-amino-3,5-difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl- 6-methoxy pyridine (5) in 7 1% yield. Chlorination of this amine with 'ButOCl at -16°C gave an unstable product, namely 2-dichloroarnino-3,5- difluoro-4-heptafluoroisopropyl-6-methoxy pyridine (6). Iodine-catalysed rearrangement of this dic...

R-factor strains which are streptomycin-resistant and spectinomycin-sensitive have been found to inactivate streptomycin by a new mechanism. The 3'-OH group of the 2-deoxy-2-methylamino-l-glucopyranosyl moiety is phosphorylated.

n, n΄-3, 4-di(methylamino)-1, 2, 5-oxadiazole (1f) was prepared by dehydration of n, n΄-3, 4-di(methylamino)glyoxime (2f) in aqueous potassium hydroxid at 170-180 ˚c. under similar conditions n, n΄-3, 4-di(benzylamino)-1, 2, 5-oxadiazole (1c) and n, n΄-3, 4-di(isopropylamino)-1, 2, 5-oxadiazole (1e) were not obtained, but, n, n΄-3, 4-di(ethylamino)-1, 2, 5-oxadiazole (1g) was appeared with smal...

Syntheses of 2,6-di(5-aminopyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L(1)), 2,6-di(5-tertbutylcarboxamidopyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L(2)), 2,6-di(5-tertbutylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L(3)), 2-(5-tertbutylpyrazol-3-yl)-6-(5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L(4)) and 2-(5-tertbutylpyrazol-3-yl)-6-(5-aminopyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L(5)) are reported. Iron complex salts of the first four ligands were crystallographically character...
