Experimental Section Materials. N-Isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM, 97%, Tokyo Kasei Kagyo Co.) was purified by recrystallization from a mixture of benzene and n-hexane (1/3, v/v). Styrene (St, 99.5%, Beijing Chemical Factory) was successively washed with aqueous NaOH (5.0 wt %) and water, then distilled over CaH 2 at reduced pressure. 4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl, 99%), 2,3,3-trimethylindole...

Complexes of Mn(II) with 1,8-naphthyride containing amide group ligands 2-amino1-8,naphthyride-3-carboxamide (ANC), 2-amino-N-phenyl-1,8-naphthyride-3-carboxamide (APNC), 2-amino-N-(p-methyl phenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide(AMPNC), 2-amino-N-)p-bromo phenyl)1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxamide(ABPNC), 2-amino-N-(p-chloro phenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine3-carboxamide (ACPNC), 2-amino-N-(p-methoxy phe...

in published high performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) methods for analysis of topiramate (tpm) in pharmaceutical dosage forms and raw materials refractive index detector (rid) has been used which is not available in many laboratories and has low sensitivity. we described a new, sensitive and simple hplc method for determination of topiramate in pharmaceutical forms and in-virto dissolutio...

A series of naphthopyran derivatives 3a-f were prepared. Reaction of 2-amino-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-7-methoxy-4H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (3b) with Ac2O afforded two products, 2-acetylamino-7-methoxy-4-(p-chlorophenyl)-4H-naphtho-[2,1-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (4) and 10,11-dihydro-3-methoxy-9-methyl-12-(p-chloro-phenyl)-12H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran[2,3-d]pyrimidine-11-one (5) and treatment of 3b...

Formyl-met-leu-phe (fMLP) induces actin assembly in neutrophils; the resultant increase in F-actin content correlates with an increase in the rate of cellular locomotion at fMLP concentrations less than or equal to 10(-8) M (Howard, T.H., and W.H. Meyer, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 98:1265-1271). We studied the time course of change in F-actin content, F-actin distribution, and cell shape after fMLP s...

As part of our continuing interest in exploring the chemistry of actinomycete bacteria uniquely adapted for survival in ocean sediments, we encountered several new strains, which by 16S rDNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis were recognized as members of a new genus (tentatively called MAR4) within the family Streptomycetaceae. We report here the isolation and structure elucidation of three ...

Simple, accurate and reliable kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of fluvastatin sodium (FVS) in pure form and pharmaceutical formulations has been described. The method is based on the formation of colored product between FVS and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) in acetone medium at 55 ± 2ºC. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the increase in ...
