The 5-HT1B/D receptor agonist sumatriptan has been proposed to treat dyspeptic symptoms, because it facilitates gastric accommodation. It is unknown whether stimulation of 5-HT1B/D receptors is involved. Thus, in four conscious dogs, we compared the effects of sumatriptan alone or combined with N-[4-methoxy-3-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl) phenyl]-2'-methyl-4'-(5-methyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-[1,1-bip...

FAAH-like anandamide transporter (FLAT) regulates anandamide transport for hydrolysis and may be an attractive drug target for pain regulation. We aimed to discover potential FLAT antagonists from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) using virtual screening, ligand-based drug design and molecular dynamics simulation (MD). Guineensine and Retrofractamide A exhibited high Dock Scores in FLAT. Conse...

In the title complex, C(8)H(7)N(3)O, the C-O [1.369 (2) and 1.364 (3) Å] and C=N [1.285 (3) and 1.289 (3) Å] bond lengths in the oxadiazole ring are each almost identical within systematic errors, although different substituents are attached to the ring. The phenyl ring is inclined to the planar oxadiazole ring [r.m.s. deviation 0.002 Å] by 13.42 (18)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via ...

Some reactive dyes (6a-6l) having Quinazolin-4(3H)-one system have been synthesized by coupling of diazotized 3-(4-(5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl) phenyl)-4-oxo-2-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-6-sulphonic acid with cyanurated components such as H-acid, J-acid, N-methyl Gamma acid, Peri Sulpho Tobias Koch Bronners Chicago K-acid, N-Phenyl J-acid and M-acid. The were characterized nitrog...

High nitrogen energetic materials with astonishing thermal behaviors and performances were synthesized by different metathesis reactions. Particularly the new compound triaminoguanidinium 1-methyl-5-nitriminotetrazolate (TAG-1-Me-AtNO2, 4) shows great explosion performance and may be an alternative to commonly used and toxic RDX. An improved synthesis for the promising energetic compound 4 is a...
