We have synthesized four novel derivatives of podophyllotoxin, the chalcone derivatives namely 2benzylidene-6,7-dimethoxy-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (4a), 2-benzylidene-5,7-dichloro-6hydroxy-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one(4b), and the amino-thiazolyl derivatives namely7,8dimethoxy-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-naphtha[1,2-d] thiazol-2-yl amine (5a) and 2-amino-6,8-dichloro-5-phen...

BACKGROUND The chemistry of tetralin-1,4-dione, the stable tautomer of 1,4-dihydroxynaphthalene, has not been explored previously. It is readily accessible and offers interesting opportunities for synthesis. RESULTS The title reactions were explored. L-Selectride reduced the diketone to give preferentially the cis-diol (d.r. 84 : 16). Red-Al gave preferentially the trans-diol (d.r. 13 : 87). ...

In a continuation of our studies into indan and tetralin systems as novel modulators of allergic and inflammatory phenomena, we have extended our work to include dimers linked via C-C bonds. Of these compounds, 2-Benzyl-2-[2-phenyl-1-ethenyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenol 12 exhibited most promising activity both in vitro and in vivo.

The present work investigates the thermochemical conversion of wheat straw biomass in a suband supercritical tetralin medium. experiment was carried out batch reactor at 285, 330, 380, 420 and 460 °C for 10 minutes. process liquefaction subcritical characterised by relatively high efficiency. At °C, rate amounted to 98.2% a.d.m. maximum yield liquid products during (81.6% a.d.m.) obtained 380 °...

1-Tetralone, a useful synthetic intermediate in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyes, can be prepared by liquid phase catalytic oxidation tetralin. Selective tetralin to 1-tetralone is still big challenge with low-temperature processes using environmentally friendly routes even after decades research. Herein, we demonstrate room-temperature over layered double hydroxide-ho...

Opioids evoke respiratory depression, bradycardia, and reduced respiratory sinus arrhythmia, whereas serotonin (5-HT) agonists stimulate respiration and cardiorespiratory interactions. This study tested whether serotonin agonists can prevent the inhibitory effects of opioids on cardiorespiratory function. Spontaneous and rhythmic inspiratory-related activity and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) n...

In mammals, the environmental light/dark cycle strongly synchronizes the circadian clock within the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) to 24 hr. It is well known that not only photic but also nonphotic stimuli can entrain the SCN clock. Actually, many studies have shown that a daytime injection of 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH DPAT), a serotonin 1A/7 receptor agonist, as a nonphotic s...

The aim of the present study was to establish the relationship between the plasma and brain concentration-time profiles of F 13640 [(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-[4-fluoro-4-{[(5-methyl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-methyl}piperidin-1-yl]methanone, fumaric acid salt] after acute administration and both its hyper- and hypoanalgesic effects in rats. The maximal plasma concentration (C(max)) of F 13640 ...

A new composite heat transfer fluid consisting of tetralin and fullerene has been proposed for photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar harvesting. It features a unique absorption spectrum that is capable sharply cutting off energy irradiated in the range wavelength from 300 to 650 nm, making it perfect candidate simultaneous harvesting both components energy. The revealed outstanding stability facile...
