Experiments were conducted to determine the pathway of melamine metabolism by Klebsiella terragena (strain DRS-1) and the effect of added NH(inf4)(sup+) on the rates and extent of melamine metabolism. In the absence of added NH(inf4)(sup+), 1 mM melamine was metabolized concomitantly with growth. Ammeline, ammelide, cyanuric acid, and NH(inf4)(sup+) accumulated transiently in the culture medium...

Derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a][1, 3, 5]triazine-2,4-dione,pyrazolo[1,5-c][1, 3, 5]thiadiazine-2-one, pyrazolo[3,4-d][1, 3]thiazine-4-one, and pyrazolo[3,4-d][1, 3]thiazine-4-thione were screened for antifungal activity against the causal agent of rice blast disease, Magnaporthe grisea. The compounds were tested at doses ranging from 10 to 200mugml(-1), using the commercial fungicide tricyclazol...

The complexation of Cm(III) and Eu(III) with 2,9-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (CyMe4-BTPhen) and 6,6'-bis(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1,2,4-benzotriazin-3-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (CyMe4-BTBP) in methanolic solution was investigated by TRLFS. For both ligands, the 1:2 complex with the particular metal ion is the only species obser...

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a nervous system disease caused by the protozoan Sarcocystis neurona. The clinical syndrome caused by the disease can have a variety of presentations. Classically, horses present with asymmetric ataxia and weakness defined by multifocal central nervous system lesions. Successful management of this disease has been frustrated by failure of treatment su...

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method was used to detect the antiperoxyradical ability of organoselenium compounds: selenophene and its derivative, 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-selenophene-3-carbonitrile (ATSe); while as a comparison, the sulfur-containing analogue of selenophene-thiophene and its derivative-2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-thiophene-3-carbonitrile (ATS)-was selected...

Synthesis of novel 5-methylidene-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro[2,1-b]-quinazoline derivatives 2-4 with potential biological activities mediated by alpha-adrenergic and/or imidazoline receptors was performed by reacting 2-chloro-4,5-dihydroimidazole (1) with the corresponding 2-aminoacetophenones. Compound 2, which incorporates an enamine moiety, underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with the appr...

4-amino-6-methyl- 1,2,4-triazine-3(2h)-thione-5-0ne (1) was condensed with propargyl bromidein the presence of sodium rnethoxide to afford 3-propargylmercapto- 4-arnino-6-rnethyl-1,2,4-triazin-5-one(2) . transformation of the latter to 8-dihydro- 3-methyl-7-methylene-4-oxo-6h-[1,2,4]triazino [3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazine (3) was performed under the condition of palladium (ii) salt. ring closure o...

7-Dimethyl-amino-2-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amine crystallized with one mol-ecule of methanol to give the title compound, C(12)H(13)N(7)·CH(3)OH. The triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine heterocyclic core is essentially planar as are both amino groups that are involved in π-electron delocalization with the triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine nucleus. The methyl groups of the dimethyl-a...
