This is a study of a small group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, in whom the urine excretion of imidazole compounds was examined by Figlu assay and chromatography of 12-hour urine collections following 15 g. histidine load, and by assay of 4 amino-imidazole-5 carboxamide (AIC) in 12hour urines with and without histidine load. Gough, McCarthy, Read, Mollin, and Waters (1964) found low ser...

Rhodococcus equi and species of Nocardia and Gordonia may be human opportunistic pathogens. We find that these, as well as several isolates from closely related genera, are highly susceptible to the imidazoles bifonazole, clotrimazole, econazole, and miconazole, whose MICs are </=1 micro g/ml. In liquid cultures 1 micro g of the drug/ml was bacteriostatic and 10 micro g/ml was bactericidal. On ...

Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method and subsequently coated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) via silanization reaction. Grafting of chlorosulfuric acid on the amino-functionalized Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles afforded sulfamic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (SA-MNPs). SA-MNPs was found to be a mild and effective solid acid catalyst for the ef...

A series of 1,2,4-trisubstituted-1H- imidazole derivatives (4a-o) was synthesized by reacting 2,4-disubstituted-1H-imidazoles (3a-o) with chlorobenzene in the presence of triethylamine. Phenylglyoxal (2) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate and glacial acetic acid to afford the disubstituted imidazoles (3a-o). The structures of the synthesized compou...

a series of tri- and tetra- substituted imidazoles were synthesized from benzyl, aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of zeolite as an ecofriendly reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent. the yields are high to excellent and the use of microwave irradiation reduces reaction times to few minute.

warded as a promising molecule because of its broad spectrum pharmacological activities like antitubercular, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, anti-HIV, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory and antihypertensive activities. Imidazoles are one of the oldest and potent heterocyclic compounds having antimicrobial activities. Structure activity relationship studies of quinazolinone ring system revea...

The presence of free fatty acids in liposome model membranes sensitizes these membranes to the action of the imidazole antifungals, clotrimazole, micronazole, and sulconazole. Unsaturation of the fatty acids is an important variable; the effect of linoleic and oleic acids is much greater than that of stearic acid. The imidazoles differ somewhat in action, with clotrimazole potency greatest both...

The vaporization enthalpies of 1-methyl-, 1-ethyl-, 1-phenyl-, and 1-benzylimidazole, 1-methyl- and 1-phenylpyrazole, and trans-azobenzene are evaluated by correlation-gas chromatography (C-GC) using a variety of azines and diazines as standards. The vaporization enthalpies obtained by C-GC when compared to literature values are approximately 14 kJ·mol(-1) smaller for the imidazoles and 6 kJ·mo...

A general synthetic route to the synthesis of imidazoles has been developed using nano SbCl5/SiO2 under solvent-free conditions. The multi-component reactions of aldehydes, benzil and ammonium acetate were carried out to afford some trisubstituted imidazole derivatives. This method provides several advantages like simple work-up, environmentally benign, and shorter reaction times along wi...
