Four guanidino compounds that have been found to be markedly increased in cerebrospinal fluid and brain tissue of uremic patients, namely, guanidine, methylguanidine, creatinine, and guanidinosuccinic acid, were applied to mouse spinal cord neurons in primary dissociated cell culture to evaluate their effects on postsynaptic responses to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine. Intracellular...

Many ions are known to affect the activity, stability, and structural integrity of proteins. Although this effect can be generally attributed to ion-induced changes in forces that govern protein folding, delineating the underlying mechanism of action still remains challenging because it requires assessment of all relevant interactions, such as ion-protein, ion-water, and ion-ion interactions. H...

Thyroxine-binding globulin was isolated from human plasma by ammonium sulfate fractionation, chromatographic separations on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex, gel chromatography, and two different electrophoretic procedures. The highly purified was homogeneous when subjected to polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation analyses, and immunochemical determinations. The weight average molec...

We investigated in rat hippocampus neurons whether 4-(aminobutyl)guanidine (agmatine), formed by decarboxylation of L-arginine by arginine decarboxylase and metabolized to urea and putrescine, can modulate the function of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channels. In cultured hippocampal neurons studied by whole-cell patch clamp, extracellular-applied agmatine produced a voltage- and concen...

The title compound, C(10)H(11)N(4) (+)·Cl(-), has been synthesized by the reaction of 8-amino-quinoline and cyanamide. The dihedral angle between the plane of the guanidine group and the quinoline ring system is 68.64 (13)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

Quinazolines exhibit various biological activities. In the present investigation a series of new 2-amino-5-aryl5,6-dihydro7-(naphthalen-2-yl)quinazolin-4-ols are synthesized by the condensation of various naphthyl substituted cyclohexenones with guanidine in presence of NaOEt. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by various spectral techniques.

The synthesis of 3-amino-1-nitroguanidine (3-ANQ) and 5-hydrazino tetrazole (5-HT) derivatives as new energetic materials are described. Reaction of 3-ANQ with triethyl orthoformate leads to the formation of 3-nitramino triazole while no reaction was observed whit 5-HT. Addition of NaN3 to a mixture of 3-ANQ and triethyl orthoformate, afforded 1-nitroguanidyl tetrazole in excelle...

Per(6-guanidino-6-deoxy)-cyclodextrins , and are novel derivatives, resulting from homogeneous introduction of the guanidino group at the primary side of alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins. The products were obtained from the corresponding amino derivatives, as direct guanidinylation of the known bromo-cyclodextrins provided mixtures. The new compounds were fully characterized by NMR spectro...

Energetic oxetanes were first described in the 1970s, such as 3,3-bis(azidomethyl)oxetanes (BAMO) and 3-(nitratomethyl)-3-(methyl)oxetanes (NIMMO). Over past few years, hardly available only special-purpose chemicals for pharmaceutical industry. Oxetan-3-one is condensed with energetic compounds a hydrazino function amino-nitroguanidine picryl hydrazine to form Schiff bases. Hydrazinolysis of g...
