4-Aminoantipyrine was utilized as key intermediate for the synthesis of pyrazolone derivatives bearing biologically active moieties. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectral and microanalytical studies. The compounds were screened as anticancer agents against a human tumor breast cancer cell line MCF7, and the results showed that (Z)-4-((3-amino-5-imino...

Application of dimethyl sulfoxide to proliferating L8 myoblasts (an established cell line of rat skeletal muscle) for 72 hr completely prevented fusion and induction of creatine phosphokinase (EC 2.7.3.2) activity (an indicator of muscle differentiation). The growth pattern changed from the usual sheets of randomly oriented cells to flattened, whorled monolayers of elongated fibroblast-like cel...

A 1H NMR study of urocanic acid dissolved in water/dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures together with potentiometric determinations of its two successive acidities in the same solutions reveal that a proton is transferred from the imidazolium ring to the carboxylate group when the amount of dimethyl sulfoxide is increased. An analysis of the potentiometric data by means of the classical Hammett linear r...

In the title compound, (C(7)H(11)N(2))[Er(H(2)O)(8)]Cl(4)·H(2)O, the asymmetric unit consists of one 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium and one octa-aqua-erbium cation balanced by four Cl(-) anions, and one water mol-ecule. The 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium cation is protonated at the pyridine N atom. The dimethyl-amino group (C/N/C) lies close to the plane of the pyridinium ring, making a dihedral ...

In the synthesis of polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODEn) catalyzed by ordered supermicroporous aluminosilicates, shape selectivity was observed and the high selectivity for target products (PODE3-8) was attributed to the particular pore diameter.

In the reaction of 7-chloro-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione with N,N-dimethyl-formamide/dimethyl-acetal, the diazepine seven-membered ring undergoes a contraction to form the five-membered ring. The reaction yields two isomers the title compound, C(13)H(14)ClN(3)O(2); the major component has the chlorine-atom substituent in the 5-position of the benzimidazolone ring and the minor component has the...

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Zn(3)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n) or [Zn(3)(dmbdc)(3)(py)(2)](n) (dmbdc = 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate; py = pyridine) contains two Zn(II) ions, one of which is located on an inversion centre, one and a half 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate ligands and one pyridine ligand. Each ZnO(6) octa-hedron is sandwiched between two Z...

Abstract. Rate coefficients for the reaction of NO3 radicals with a series aromatic aldehydes were measured in 7300 L simulation chamber at ambient temperature and pressure by relative absolute methods. The rate benzaldehyde (BA), ortho-tolualdehyde (O-TA), meta-tolualdehyde (M-TA), para-tolualdehyde (P-TA), 2,4-dimethyl (2,4-DMBA), 2,5-dimethyl (2,5-DMBA) 3,5-dimethyl (3,5-DMBA) k1= 2.6 ± 0.3,...
