A series of fluorescent iron chelators has been synthesized such that a fluorescent function is covalently linked to a 3-hydroxypyridin-4-one. In the present study, the fluorescent iron chelators were loaded into isolated rat hepatocytes. The intracellular fluorescence was not only quenched by an addition of a highly lipophilic 8-hydroxyquinoline-iron(III) complex but also was dequenched by the...

In the title compound, C(21)H(24)N(2)O(4), the piperidine ring adopts a distorted boat conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions involving one of the methoxy-phenyl rings.

In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(4)O(4), the dihedral angles between the central pyrazole ring and the pendant substituted and unsubstituted aromatic rings are 4.73 (12) and 44.24 (14)°, respectively. An intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal structure, an inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action may help to consolidate the packing and a short intra-molecular C-H⋯O contact also ...

A series of bidentate hydroxypyridinone iron chelators that have therapeutic potential as oral iron chelators, have been studied systematically to determine which properties are the most critical for the mobilization of hepatocyte iron. The relationship between lipid solubility of the free and complexed forms of each chelator and hepatocyte iron release has been investigated as well as the cont...

In the title compound, C(25)H(22)N(4)O(4), the central benzene ring, makes dihedral angles of 74.35 (6), 17.01 (8) and 62.19 (7)°, respectively, with the nitro-benzyl ring, the pyrazolone ring and the terminal phenyl ring. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the crystal packing.

Complexes of several transition metal ions with alpha-oximinoacetoacetyl pyridine-4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (H3OAPT) have been prepared. Attempts were made to elucidate their geometries by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic measurements and by some spectroscopic (IR, ESR and electronic) techniques. All the investigated metal ions form mononuclear complexes except for CuII, which fo...
