BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Human ether-a-go-go related gene (HERG) channel inhibitors may be subdivided into compounds that are trapped in the closed channel conformation and others that dissociate at rest. The structural peculiarities promoting resting state dissociation from HERG channels are currently unknown. A small molecule-like propafenone is efficiently trapped in the closed HERG channel co...

Treatment of aldosterone with 35% HCl in EtOH or in MeOH followed by the picolinyl derivatization gave the picolinyl derivative of aldosterone-ethyl ether, 8, or methyl ether, 9, as a single and well-shaped liquid chromatographic peak. Picolinyl derivatization of aldosterone produced 21-picolinyl derivative of 18,20-anhydro-hemiacetal derivatives, 6, with poor chromatographic peak with wide hal...

Allamanda violacea is an ornamental plant of the genus Allamanda belongs to family Apocynaceae. Different flower extracts of the plant have been reported to possess anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-hyperglycemic and anti-oxidant activities. Present study deals with the identification of phytochemical constituents of the petroleum ether (pet ether) and chloroform extract by GC-MS analysis, and the cons...

Glyceryl-ether monooxygenase (1-alkyl-sn-glycerol,tetrahydropteridine: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.14.16.5) catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of 1-O-alkyl glycerol or glycol derivatives to a long-chain aldehyde and the glycerol or glycol derivative. The specificity for tetrahydropterins of a similar, perhaps identical, enzyme that cleaves O-hexadecyl ethylene glycol in rat liver microsomes was e...

The syntheses of novel hydrazono acyclic nucleosides similar to miconazole scaffolds are described. In this series of acyclic nucleosides, pyrimidine as well as purine and other azole derivatives replaced the imidazole function in miconazole and the ether group was replaced with a hydrazone moiety using phenylhydrazine. To interpret the dominant formation of (E)-hydrazone derivatives rather tha...

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(14)H(11)Cl(3)O(4)S, displays a biphenyl dihedral angle of 4.9 (2)° between the benzene rings, which is significantly smaller than the calculated dihedral angle of 41.2° of biphenyl derivatives without ortho substituents. The C(Ar)-O bond length of 1.432 (4) Å is comparable with other sulfuric acid biphenyl-4-yl ester 2,2,2-trichloro-ether ester ...
