Objective: To compare the efficacy of nadifloxacin alone and with benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris. Patients and Methods: This double-blind, randomized study was conducted in a total of 93 acne patients, with at least 10 inflammatory lesions, but no more than 3 nodules or cysts on the face. All patients were instructed to apply nadifloxacin 1% cream twi...

Seven arginylfluoroalkanes ('arginine fluoroalkyl ketones') were synthesized by using a modified Dakin-West procedure. The structure of benzoyl-Arg-CF2CF3 was analysed by 19F-n.m.r. spectroscopy and m.s. and the compound was shown to exist primarily as a hydrate or cyclic carbinolamine. Arginylfluoroalkanes are good inhibitors of blood-coagulation serine proteinases and were found to be slow-bi...

The glucohexaose, beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->6)]-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-D-Glcp, was synthesized as its allyl glycoside via 3+3 strategy. The trisaccharide donor, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (11), was obtained by...

A xylosylated rhamnose pentasaccharide, alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-[beta-L-Xylp-(1-->2)-]-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-[beta-L-Xylp-(1-->4)]-L-Rhap, the repeating unit of the O-chain polysaccharide (OPS) of the lipopolysaccharides of Xanthomonas campestris pv. begoniae GSPB 525 was synthesized by a highly regio- and stereoselective way. Thus coupling of 1,2-O-ethylidene-beta-L-rhamnopyranose (1) with 2,3,4-t...

Cabbage contains the glucosinolate sinigrin, which is hydrolyzed by myrosinase to allyl isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanates are thought to inhibit the development of cancer cells by a number of mechanisms. The effect of cooking cabbage on isothiocyanate production from glucosinolates during and after their ingestion was examined in human subjects. Each of 12 healthy human volunteers consumed three ...

The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the structure of the title compound, C(15)H(15)NO, are trans to each other. Furthermore, the position of the amide O atom is syn to the ortho-methyl group in the benzoyl ring. The central amide group is tilted at an angle of 59.96 (11)° to the benzoyl ring, and the benzoyl and aniline rings form a dihedral angle of 81.44 (5)°. N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds l...

Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung cancer in humans. The continuous increase in the prevalence of cigarette smoking worldwide demands a practical means to circumvent this serious health problem. Our research has focused on the development of new chemopreventive agents against lung carcinogenicity of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4(methylnitrosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanone. Severa...

The title compound, C(23)H(22)O(8), is a binary benzoyl ester whose nucleus consists of a fused system made up of a methyl-enedi-oxy ring and two tetra-hydro-furan rings. One of the benzoyl ester groups is attached at the junction of the two tetra-hydro-furan rings. The other is attached to the outer tetra-furan ring. Both the benzoyl ester groups are in an axial conformation with respect to th...
