The UV spectrum of pepstatin shows only end absorption. Strong absorptions centered at 1630cm"1 and 1540cm"1 in the infrared spectrum suggest that pepstatin is a kind of peptide. Pepstatin shows a negative reaction for ninhydrin, but positive for RydonSmith reagent. Pepstatin has no free basic function. It gives mono-methyl ester by treatment of diazomethane. The di-acetyl derivative of the met...

The potential tridentate Schiff base ligand 2-[1-(2-pyridyl-methyl-imino)eth-yl]pyrrole (HL) was synthesized from the condensation of 2-acetyl-pyrrole with 2-amino-methyl-pyridine. The title compound, [Cu(C(12)H(12)N(3))Cl], was synthesized from HL and copper(II) chloride using triethyl-amine as a base to deprotonate the pyrrole NH group. The title compound is a monomer and the central copper(I...

Cyclization and chlorination of 2-amino-5-benzyl-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro hydro thieno [3, 2c] pyridine-3carboxamide yielded (3 a-b). Reaction with different substituted pyridines of [3 a-b] yielded 4a (1-4) and 4b (1-2). However reaction of 3a with different substituted 2-amino phenols yielded 4a (5-6). Further 3a yields 4a (7) & 4a (8) from different substituents like o-phenylene diamine and 4-c...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(7)O(2))(NO(3))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Cu(II) ion is five-coordinate in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The basal positions are occupied by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and two O atoms from the 2-acetyl-phenolate anion. The axial position is occupied by one O atom of a nitrate anion. In the bipyridine ligand, the two pyridine rings are slightly ...

The Mn(III) atom in the title complex, [Mn(C(13)H(9)N(3)O(2))(C(5)H(7)O(2))(H(2)O)], is coordinated by three donors from a dianionic ligand, salicylaldehyde nicotylhydrazone, two O atoms from an acetyl-acetonate anion and a water mol-ecule in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. There is an extended two-dimensional supra-molecular motif resulting from O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the coordinated w...

The title compound, C(13)H(18)N(2)O(4), crystallizes as discrete mol-ecules associated as N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers disposed about a crystallographic inversion centre. The structure is the first solid-state structure for a 3-acetyl-pyridone without C-4 to C-6 substituents. The amide subsituent at C-3 is coplanar with the pyridone ring, while the tert-butyl ester group is orthogonal to the py...

Eight novel 1-(substituted acetyl)-4-(10-bromo-8-chloro-5,6-dihydro-11H-benzo[5,6] cyclohepta [1,2-b] pyridine-11-ylidene)piperidines were designed by incorporating zinc binding groups to enhance activity. The designed molecules were synthesized and were evaluated for antitumor activity in vitro in five cell lines and for farnesyl protein transferase inhibition. Test compounds (6a-h) exhibited ...

The title azaazulene 3 was synthesized either by reaction of tropone with N-{(2-pyridyl)acetyl}pyridinium iodide in the presence of ammonium acetate or by palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings between 2-halo-1-azaazulene and 2-substituted pyridine. The compound shows relatively stronger basicity compared with 2,2’-bipyridyl. While 3 showed no emission from the S1 state but from the S2 state like ...

l-Menthone of peppermint leaves is reduced to d-neomenthol which is glucosylated and transported to the rhizome, whereupon the beta-d-glucoside is hydrolyzed, the aglycone oxidized back to l-menthone, and this ketone converted to l-3,4-menthone lactone. l-[G-(3)H]-3,4-Menthone lactone and its labeled progenitors, when incubated with excised mint rhizomes, gave rise to nonvolatile lipids as well...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a debilitating and deadly disease with no known cure. Heart failure is a major comorbidity and a common cause of the premature death of patients with PAH. Increased asymmetrical right ventricular hypertrophy and septal wall thickening compress the left ventricular cavity and elicit diastolic heart failure. In this study, we used the Sugen5416/hypoxia/nor...
