2'-Hydroxybenzalpyruvate aldolase catalyzes the cleavage of 2'-hydroxybenzalpyruvate to salicylaldehyde and pyruvate. This reaction is part of the degradative pathways for naphthalene and naphthalenesulfonates by bacteria. 2'-Hydroxybenzalpyruvate aldolase has been purified to homogeneity from a bacterium that degrades naphthalenesulfonates (strain BN6). The enzyme has a molecular weight of abo...

Three copper(II) complexes of salicylaldehyde N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone (H2L ) and two copper(II) complexes of N(4)-cyclohexyl thiosemicarbazone (H2L ) have been synthesized and characterized by different physicochemical techniques like magnetic studies and electronic, infrared and EPR spectral studies. The complexes 1⁄2ðCuL1Þ2 12H2O ð1Þ and [(CuL )2] (4) having dimeric structure. The thios...

Abstract Despite recent interests in developing lysine‐targeting covalent inhibitors, no general approach is available to create such compounds. We report herein a develop cell‐active inhibitors of protein kinases by targeting the conserved catalytic lysine residue using key SuFEx and salicylaldehyde‐based imine chemistries. validated strategy successfully (irreversible reversible) against BCR‐...

The first documented study of the borono-Mannich (Petasis) reactions of pinacol allenylboronate is described. The reactions of salicylaldehyde and primary and secondary amines are highly regioselective and give homopropargylamine and α-allenylamine products, respectively. In contrast, glycoaldehyde and chiral α-hydroxyaldehydes give exclusively anti-β-amino-β-allenyl alcohol products, irrespect...

A new series of pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines has been synthesized. The new compounds were tested for their antitumor activity on 60 different cell lines, and some of the compounds were found to have potent antitumor activity. In particular, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazolo-[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-yl]hydrazone (VIIa) was found to be the most effective among the other deriv...

Three new rimantadine Schiff bases (RSBs) were prepared, and then the interaction of RSBs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results showed that the three RSBs effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching. Binding constant (Ka), number of ...

From QSAR studies, a series of salicylaldehyde semicarbazones, HOC6H4CH=N-NHCONR2 (H2R2) and their Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their biological activities previously. Results obtained showed that one of the most active compounds in this series is [Cu(HBnz2)Cl]. Thus, in this study, research was then carried out to investigate the anti-tumour property of...

A series of new p-nitrophenylhydrazone derivatives 3a-f were synthesized, characterized, and investigated for their antioxidant activities. These compounds have been synthesized by refluxing (p-nitrophenyl)hydrazine with 4-sub-stituted salicylaldehydes. The structures of the compounds were established by IR, (1)H- and (13)C-NMR, and MS data. The antioxidant activities (free radical-scavenging a...
