From a series of macrocyclic diamides possessing the disulfide linkage, only SRR-SB3, a compound that complexes with zinc, was found to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1; strain IIIB) replication at a concentration of 1.8 to 6.5 micrograms/ml in MT-4, CEM, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. SRR-SB3 was toxic to MT-4 cells at a concentration of 15.9 micrograms/ml, resulting...

N-Substituted 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanamides (8) were synthesized through the reaction of amines (13) with 2-acetylamino-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-(2-furyl)propanoic acid (3b), which was prepared via condensation of 2-(bromomethyl)furan (10b) with diethyl acetamidomalonate, followed by partial hydrolysis of the resultant diethyl ester (3a) in the presence of barium hydroxide. H...

BACKGROUND Development of pyriproxyfen and neonicotinoid resistance in the B-biotype whitefly and recent introduction of the Q biotype have the potential to threaten current whitefly management programs in Arizona. The possibility of integrating the novel anthranilic diamides chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole into the current program to tackle these threats largely depends on whether the...

The macrocyclic complexes of biological importance with power transition metals are synthesized by template methodology leading to the formation of the complex [MLX] X2; where L is macrocyclic ligand derived from 3,4-diaminotoluene, 2,4-thiazolidinedione, M=Cr (III) and Fe(III) X is Cl-, CH3COO- or NO3_.Characterisation of these complexes are through with the assistance of elemental analyses(CH...

The precise analysis of redox chemistry of MN4-based macrocyclic complexes is of great importance because of stabilization of unusual oxidation states of metal ions by macrocyclic ligand and thus have various applications in biochemistry, electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, pharmaceuticals etc. In this work, MN4-macrocyclic complexes of Co (II) and Ni(II) transition metal ...

A concise synthesis of polycyclic pyrroloindolines from simple malonic diamides via an intramolecular oxidative coupling/condensative cyclization cascade process is reported. The reaction provides an efficient method to construct polycyclic pyrroloindolines in good to excellent yields, which should be useful in the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical molecules.

For some porphyrinoids, such as orangarin and amethyrin, the main route of macrocyclic pi-circulation is different from the main macrocyclic conjugation pathway predicted by porphyrin chemists. Our analytical theory of ring-current diamagnetism allows us to predict the main macrocyclic conjugation pathway from the ring current distribution. We can now interpret macrocyclic aromaticity and macro...

An efficient chemoselective process for the synthesis of 14- and 15-membered triazole-containing macrocycle compounds has been developed through the combination of two multicomponent reactions and an intramolecular Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction.

Two macrocyclic compounds with a rhomboid molecular shape, composed of a π-conjugated framework and an imine or amine functionality, were synthesized. The amine-containing macrocycle crystallizes with step-like interaction of each molecule, forming a columnar arrangement, although dispersion of the imine gelates upon ultrasonification.

BACKGROUND Multiple applications of pyrethroid insecticides are used to manage European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, in snap bean, but new diamide insecticides may reduce application frequency. In a 2 year small-plot study, O. nubilalis control was evaluated by applying cyantraniliprole (diamide) and bifenthrin (pyrethroid) insecticides at one of three phenological stages (bud, bloom ...
