In previously published studies, we had demonstrated that hydrazine sulfate pretreatment protected mice against the lethal effects of endotoxin and that this protection was accompanied by a sustained increase in hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity (Silverstein, R., C.A. Christoffersen, and D.C. Morrison. 1989. Infect. Immun. 57:2072). The same hydrazine sulfate pretreatment has n...

The reaction of hydrazine with the cytosine residues of DNA yields 3-ureidopyrazole, in approximately 50% yield, in addition to the expected 3-aminopyrazole. This product has been identified by ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. A product of the reaction of hydrazine hydrate with cytosine, formulated by others as NN'-di-(3-pyrazolyl) hydrazine, has been ide...

The reactivity of hydrazine in the presence of diborane has been investigated using ab initio quantum chemical computations (MP2 and CCSD(T) methods with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set). Portions of the relevant potential energy surface were constructed to probe the formation mechanism of the hydrazine diborane (BH(3)BH(3)NH(2)NH(2)) and hydrazine bisborane (BH(3)NH(2)NH(2)BH(3)). The differences be...

Although the precise mechanism of endotoxin lethality has yet to be defined, it is well recognized that the amount of hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is reproducibly and significantly reduced after challenge with endotoxin. Hydrazine has been shown to be a specific inhibitor of gluconeogenesis, causing a metabolic crossover at the step catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. M...

Isoniazid is one of the most commonly used drugs to treat tuberculosis. Its administration is associated with a high incidence of hepatotoxicity. The aim of this study was to establish the protective effects of taurine against cytotoxicity induced by isoniazid and its suspected toxic metabolite hydrazine in isolated rat hepatocytes by measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, lipid per...

The title compound, poly[(μ2-hydrazine)(μ4-phosphato)iron(III)], [Fe(PO4)(N2H4)] n , was prepared under hydro-thermal conditions. Its asymmetric unit contains one Fe(III) atom located on an inversion centre, one P atom located on a twofold rotation axis, and two O, one N and two H atoms located on general positions. The Fe(III) atom is bound to four O atoms of symmetry-related PO4 tetra-hedra a...

Present study describes the development of a rapid, sensitive and selective flow injection analysis of hydrazine in the aqueous streams of purex process by liquid chromatography system coupled with UV-Visible detector. The method is based on the formation of yellow coloured azine complex by reaction of hydrazine with para-dimethy laminobenzaldehyde (pDMAB). The formed yellow coloured complex is...

A sensitive method is described for the detection of glycoproteins after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Dansyl hydrazine is condensed with aldehydic functions generated by periodate oxidation of protein bound carbohydrate. The resulting hydrazones are reduced to the stable hydrazine derivatives with sodium borohydride. After destaining, the fluorescent-labeled glycoproteins are visualized ...

Phenacylmalononitrile 1 reacts with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal to yield an enaminone which could be readily converted into a pyrrole or an aminopyridazine by treating with ammonium acetate and hydrazine hydrate, respectively. Compound 1 reacted with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at room temperature to yield the dihydropyridazine 9 as a single product. In refluxing ethanol this product fur...

The title compound, 3C(14)H(12)N(2)O(2)·C(3)H(7)NO, was synthesized by reaction of benzoyl chloride with hydrazine hydrate under microwave irradition. The asymmetric unit comprises three 1,2-dibenzoyl-hydrazine mol-ecules and one dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule. The 1,2-dibenzoyl-hydrazine mol-ecules are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along [010].
