Protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus express the metabolic machinery to synthesize pyrimidine nucleotides via both de novo and salvage pathways. To evaluate the relative contributions of pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage to pyrimidine homeostasis in both life cycle stages of Leishmania donovani, individual mutant lines deficient in either carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS), the first...

Aim: To study the effect of new synthesized pyrimidine derivatives on growth Mycobacterium lufu ( M. ) and tuberculosis when cultivated Shkolnikova’s medium. Materials methods. The objects research were 6 samples - 5-(arylmethylidene)-2,4,6-pyrimidine-2,4,6(1 H ,3 ,5 )-trions under laboratory codes TAG1, TAG2, TAG3, TAG4, TAG5, TAG6 7 5-(getarylmethylidene)-2,4,6-pyrimidine-2,4,6(1 , 3 5 TAG7, ...

A variety of thiol compounds inhibited the enzymatic bis-oxygenation of 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid to prostaglandin G1, as examined with a purified preparation of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthetase (prostaglandin synthase; 8,11,14-eicosatrienoate, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.14.99.1) from bovine vesicular gland. The hydroperoxide cleavage of prostaglandin G1 producing prostag...

Kinetics of radical oxidation of 4-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid was investigated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and iron(II) sulfate, i.e. SL hydroxyl radicals generating system. Initial velocities of radical reaction were established by numerization of the course of kinetic dependences. The value of initial reaction velocity was used as a criterion for evaluation of efficacy of ethylened...

Despite the engineering potential by co-existence of inorganic and organic substances to protect vulnerable metallic materials from corrosive environments, both their interaction in-situ formation mechanism induce nature-inspired composite remained less understood. The present work used three distinctive mercapto-benzazole (MB) compounds working as corrosion inhibitors, such 2-mercaptobenzoxazo...

Hydrophobic charge-induction chromatography (HCIC) is a novel technology for antibody purification. The ligand densities and pore properties of HCIC resins have significant effects on the separation behavior of protein, however, the understandings are quite limited. In the present work, new HCIC ligand, 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) was coupled to three agarose matrices with different pore...

Recent studies have considerably clarified the mechanism ofhydrolysis of ribonucleic acids (RNA) by pancreatic ribonuclease and by spleen phosphodiesterase. Digestion ofRNA with ribonuclease results in the splitting of all pyrimidine-pyrimidine internucleotidic links and of those pyrimidine-purine internucleotidic links which involve C(3w) of the pyrimidine nucleotide (Schmidt et al. 1951; Mark...

In this contribution several new coordination compounds on the basis of cadmium(II) thio- and selenocyanate with pyrimidine as co-ligand were prepared and investigated for their structural, thermal and spectroscopic properties. The reaction of cadmium(II) thiocyanate with pyrimidine leads to the formation of four compounds, which from a structural point of view are closely related. In the most ...
