In searching for opportunities to exploit the benefits of silicon in TRPV1 research, we tried to investigate the pharmacological effects of sila-substitution (C/Si exchange) of tert-butyl group in the MK-056 series. Compound 13a, with a 4-positioned trimethylsilanyl group on the B ring in place of tert-butyl group, exhibited the most potent antagonist activity with IC(50) values of 0.15 microM,...

We report the ambient-temperature synthesis of novel (E)-N-(3-(tert-butyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine 3 in 81% yield by a condensation reaction between 3-(tert-butyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine 1 and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde 2 methanol using magnesium sulfate as drying agent. The N-pyrazolyl imine was full characterized IR, 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry,...

The synthesis and characterisation of two groups nonsymmetric dimers, the 1-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4‘−yloxy)-ω-(4-butyl, 4-(1-methylpropyl) or 4-t-butylanilinebenzylidene-4’−oxy)alkanes, 1-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4‘−yl)-ω-(4-butyl, are reported. length parity flexible spacer is varied. tert-butyl homologues show higher melting points than corresponding sec-butyl n-butyl substituted suggesting that chain bra...

We synthesized two hexaazaphenalene derivatives, 6AP-Pm (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,7,9b-hexaazaphenalene) and 6AP-Pz (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,8,9b-hexaazaphenalene) compared the electronic properties with pentaazaphenalene derivative 5AP (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,9b-pentaazaphenalene). clarified position-dependent effects of aza-substitution on states followed by optical electrochemical p...

During plant-microbe interactions and in the environment, Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli is likely to be exposed to high concentrations of multiple oxidants. Here, we show that simultaneous exposures of the bacteria to multiple oxidants affects cell survival in a complex manner. A superoxide generator (menadione) enhanced the lethal effect of an organic peroxide (tert-butyl hydroperoxide) ...

The adsorption of methyl tert-butyl ether by granular activated carbon was investigated. The experimental data were analyzed using the Freundlich isotherm and the Langmuir isotherm. Although equilibrium data were found to follow Freundlich isotherm model, it were fitted better by the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 204.1 mg/g. The kinetic data obtained at different concentr...

1. The major metabolites of 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT) in the rat are 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (BHT-acid), both free (9% of the dose) and as a glucuronide (15%), and S-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-N-acetylcysteine. 2. The mercapturic acid does not appear to derive from the usually accepted enzyme mechanism, and may involve a non-enzymic reaction between BH...

The paper complements our earlier NMR investigation of molecular dynamics of tert-butyl chloride restricted by geometries of the type MCM-41 and CPG by the new sizes of CPG and by differential scanning calorimetry method. We report proton and deuteron NMR lineshapes and the spin-lattice relaxation results of tert-butyl chloride in CPG of the 15.6 nm and 7.4 nm pore diameter in the temperature r...

The organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide are tumor promoters in the skin of SENCAR mice, and this activity is presumed to be mediated through the activation of the hydroperoxides to free radical species. In this study we have assessed the generation of free radicals from organic hydroperoxides in the target cell (the murine basal keratinocyte) using electron ...

We have synthesized a novel chiral NADH model compound, N-methyl-(R)-3-(tert-butyl)-sulphinyl-1,4-dihydropyridine with high enantioselectivity and used it in the reduction of methyl benzoylformate, producing (S)-methyl mandelate in 95% ee. The absolute structure of its precursor, 3-(tert-butyl)sulfinyl pyridine, was determined by X-ray analysis.
