In the title compound, C(25)H(22)Cl(2)N(2)O(4)·CH(3)OH, the macrocyclic mol-ecule adopts a slightly distorted C(2)-symmetric conformation. The macrocyclic mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amide groups into chains extending along the [010] direction. The methanol mol-ecules bridge these chains via N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the formation of a two-dimensional po...

In the title compound, [Cu₂Cl₄(C₁₆H₃₂N₄)](n), the central Cu(II) anion of the macrocyclic complex cation is weakly linked to two Cl atoms of the tetrachloridocuprate anion with Cu-Cl distances of 3.008 (3) and 3.220 (3) Å, respectively, forming a chain parallel to [10-1]. The geometry of the Cu-macrocyclic complex is distorted octa-hedral with the bridging Cl atoms occupying the axial position ...

The title compound, [Ni(C6H4NO2)2(C16H38N6)], was prepared through self-assembly of a nickel(II) aza-macrocyclic complex with isonicotinic acid. The Ni(II) atom is located on an inversion center and exhibits a distorted octa-hedral N4O2 coordination environment, with the four secondary N atoms of the aza-macrocyclic ligand in the equatorial plane [average Ni-Neq = 2.064 (11) Å] and two O atoms ...

Two new dimacrolide sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (DMSPAs), dimacroregelines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the stems of Tripterygium regelii. The structures of both compounds were characterized by extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, as well as HRESIMS data. Compounds 1 and 2 are two rare DMSPAs possessing unique 2-(3'-carboxybutyl)-3-furanoic acid units forming the second m...

There has been much discussion of the potential desirability of macrocyclic molecules for the development of tool compounds and drug leads. But there is little experimental data comparing otherwise equivalent macrocyclic and linear compound libraries as a source of protein ligands. In this Letter, we probe this point in the context of peptoid libraries. Bead-displayed libraries of macrocyclic a...

In the title compound, C(24)H(44)N(6) (6+).6C(7)H(7)O(3)S(-).2H(2)O, the macrocycle crystallizes in its hexaprotonated form, accompanied by six p-toluenesulfonate ions and two water molecules, and lies on an inversion center. The three independent p-toluenesulfonate anions and their inversion equivalents at (1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z) are linked to the macrocyclic cation through N-Hcdots, three dots,...

The membrane lipid of a new deep-sea hydrothermal vent methanogen, Methanococcus jannaschii, was isolated, purified, and structurally characterized. The total lipid extract, amounting to 32.2 micrograms/mg, dry cell weight, was fractionated on silica gel into a neutral lipid and polar lipid fraction. The neutral lipid fraction consisted of a series of isoprenoid hydrocarbons and free (nonphosph...

5-Amino-4,6-dinitro-1,3-dihydroxy-benzene (6) was synthesized through the ring-opening reaction of macrocyclic compound 4 with the aid of VNS (vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen) reaction conditions. The mechanism of ring opening of macrocyclic compound 4 was studied. 5-Amino-2,4,6-trinitro-1,3-dihydroxy-benzene (8) was obtained after the nitration of 6 in KNO3 and concentrated sul...

A practical synthesis of a tetrahydroaminoquinoline scaffold (12) was developed that used a stereocontrolled aza Michael as the key reaction. Three tetrahydroquinoline alkaloid-like, tricyclic derivatives 16, 18, and 19 with different medium to macrocyclic ring skeletons were obtained, using this scaffold as the starting material, in a modular manner. The macrocyclic compounds with an isolated ...

Infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasing worldwide, resulting in a new global health concern. NTM treatment is complex and requires combinations of several drugs for lengthy periods. In spite this, disease often associated with poor outcomes. The anti-parasitic family macrocyclic lactones (ML) (divided two subfamilies: avermectins milbemycins) was previously describ...
