The objective of the present study is to determine the bioefficacy of different crude extracts of Ajuga remota against anopheline and culicine larvae. Larval susceptibility of crude carbon-tetrachloride, methanol and petroleum-ether extracts of Ajuga remota leaves was observed against the malaria vector, Anopheles stephensi and the filariasis vector, Culex quinquefasciatus. Among the extracts t...

Phytases (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolases; EC 3.1.3.8) catalyze the hydrolysis of phytic acid (myoinositol hexakisphosphate) to the mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentaphosphates of myo-inositol and inorganic phosphate. Therrmophilic bacteria isolated from water sampled from hot spring. About 120 isolates of bacteria were successfully isolated form hot spring water sample and tes...

The title compound, C(28)H(22)N(4), is the unexpected by-product of the reaction of 2-hydroxy-acetophenone and 1,2-diamino-benzene under iodine catalysis, during which a carbon-carbon σ-bond between two quinoxaline units was formed. Although a fully oxidized title compound should sterically be possible, only one quinoxaline ring is fully oxidized while the second ring remains in the reduced for...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(46)H(34)N(6))(CO)]PF(6)·0.75CH(2)Cl(2)·0.25C(4)H(10)O, the Cu(I) atom is coordinated by three N atoms from the tridentate chelating tris-(3,5-diphenyl-pyrazol-1-yl)methane ligand (average Cu-N distance = 2.055 Å) and the C atom from a carbon monoxide ligand in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The average N-Cu-N angle between adjacent pyrazole-ring-coo...

The asymmetric C atom in the title compound, C(21)H(17)BrClNO, is in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment and the NH unit adopts a gauche orientation with respect to the CO group. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers.

The title hydrated salt, C6H6NO2 (+)·C10H5O8 (-)·H2O, was isolated from the 1:1 cocrystallization of benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra-carb-oxy-lic acid and isonicotinic acid in ethanol solution. In the crystal, the cation is close to planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.085 Å for the nine fitted atoms; the C-C-C-O(carbon-yl) torsion angle = -8.7 (4)°], but twists are evident in the anion, with all but the carb-ox...

The title compound {systematic name: 9,10-didehydro-N-[1-(hydroxy-meth-yl)prop-yl]-d-lysergamide maleate}, C(20)H(26)N(3)O(2) (+)·C(4)H(3)O(4) (-), contains a large rigid ergolene group. This group consists of an indole plane connected to a six-membered carbon ring adopting an envelope conformation and N-methyl-tetra-hydro-pyridine where the methyl group is in an equatorial position. In the cry...

From soils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) a strain of Alcaligenes sp. able to grow in a mineral medium with a commercial mixture of PCBs as carbon source was isolated. This strain consumed up to 200 ppm in seven days in laboratory conditions. After 24 h of incubation, some new congeners of PCBs could be recognized by mass spectrometry. Through the identification of these com...

The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(8)H(5)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by two monodentate carboxyl-ate groups and two water mol-ecules in a tetra-hedral geometry; the geometry is distorted towards octa-hedral owing to two long Zn⋯O(carbon-yl) contacts [2.512 (2) Å]. Hydrogen-bonding inter-actions give rise to a three-dimensional network. Th...

The crystal structure and the conformation of the title compound, C22H27N3O7S, were determined from the synthetic pathway and by X-ray analysis. This compound is a new 4-thia-zolidinone derivative prepared and isolated as pure product from thio-semicarbazone carvone. The mol-ecule is built up from an oxo-thia-zolidine ring tetra-substituted by a meth-oxy-oxo-ethyl-idene, a maleate, an oxygen an...
