Human cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes metabolize a variety of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds, including steroids, drugs, and environmental chemicals. In this study, we examine the possibility that bacterial P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) mutants with indole oxidation activity have the catalytic activities of human P450 enzymes. Error-prone polymerase chain reaction was carried out on the heme domain-c...

An easily synthesized ?-hydroxy-?-azidotetrazole scaffold was used to build a three dimensional polychromic system. Different chromophores (coumarin, BODIPY and distyryl BODIPY) were incorporated into the structure by using sequential CuAAC reactions form series of dyads triad. A computational study resulting arrays showed that predominant conformations brought substituents close spatial proxim...

Coumarin and its derivatives are well known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. In this study, we synthesized 32 coumarin derivatives from commercially available 6-hydroxycoumarin (6HC) and 7-hydroxycoumarin (7HC) and examined their effects on lipopolysaccharide/interferon γ (LPS/IFNγ)-stimulated nitric oxide (NO) production in murine macrophage RAW264 cells. Among these der...

3-((2E)-3(aryl)prop-2-enoyl)-2H-chromen-2-one 3 was synthesized from 4-hydroxy coumarin by refluxing 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy coumarin with aromatic aldehydes in chloroform in the presence of a catalytic amount of piperidine. 3 was converted to pyrazoles 4, 5 by treatment with hydrazine and phenylhydrazine in toluene, respectively. The structures of the new compounds were confirmed by elemental analy...

Coumarin derivatives are used as fluorescent dyes and medicines. They also have some notable physiological effects, including the acute hepatoxicity and carcinogenicity of certain aflatoxins, the anticoagulant action of dicoumarol, and the antibiotic activity of novobicin and coumerymycin A1. Because the number of drug resistant strains is increasing at present, the synthesis of new antibacteri...

A new compound and seven known compounds were isolated from Murraya tetramera Huang for the first time, and they were identified with NMR and MS spectral analysis. It was confirmed that the new compound was 10-methoxy-7-methyl-2H-benzo[g]chromen-2-one (3) and the others were β-eudesmol (1), trans-3β-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-8aβ-methyl-5-methylenedecalin-2-one (2), 5,7-dimethoxy-8-[(Z)-3'-methy...
