An efficient aziridine ring expansion cascade of cinnamylaziridine has been developed. N-Bromosuccinimide was used as the promoter. The resulting functionalized pyrrolidines are the fundamental units of many useful molecules.

The nonpolar peptide segment of cytochrome b5 consisting of the COOH-terminal 43 amino acid residues binds rapidly to dimyristyl lecithin vesicles above the transition temperature of the phospholipid. The binding is complete as indicated by density gradient centrifugation and is accompanied by approximately a 2-fold increase in the fluorescence emission of the protein, and insertion in the bila...

A simple and rapid calorimetric method for the determination of 10 sulphonamides as single entities and sulphamethoxazole in combination with trimethoprim without prior separation was developed. The method is based on the reaction of sulphonamide with phenothiazine and N-bromosuccinimide at pH 6 to produce a blue coloured product after acidification. The chromogen for all the sulphonamides was ...

two sensitive spectrophotometric methods are presented for the assay of pantoprazole sodium sesqui hydrate (pnt) in bulk drug and in formulations using n-bromosuccinimide (nbs) and two dyes, methyl orange and indigo carmine, as reagents. the methods involve the addition of a known excess of nbs to pnt  in acid medium, followed by determination of unreacted oxidant by reacting with a fixed amoun...
