Abstract- Some new 3-(alkylsulfanyl)- 7-chloro-1-phenyl-1H-pyridazino [4,3-e][1,3,4]thiadiazine were synthesized  by treatment of the alkyl-2-phenylhydrazinecarbodithioates with 4-bromo-3,6-dichloropyridazine in alkaline acetonitril. Orientation of the reaction has been determined by X-Ray crystallography technique. The chlorine atom on the number 7 position of these products was repla...

BACKGROUND Abdominal aortic calcification is a common complication and a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. However, abdominal aortic calcification in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly understood.
