3-Hydroxypy rid ine-2-carboxaldehyf le thiosemicarbazone (3-HP) has been shown to be active against leukemia L1210, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, lym]>homa L5178Y, the Lewis lung carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma 755. 3-HP is active, in some in stances, by gavage and also by delayed treatment. 3-HP is a member of a broad class of a-(.Y)-heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones, several of which ...

The title compound, [Cu2(C17H17N4S)2Cl2], exhibits a dimeric structure related by a centre of symmetry. The monomers are linked to each other by the longest Cu-S apical distance observed to date among Cu(II) square-pyramidal complexes of N4-substituted thiosemicarbazones. Each Cu(II) atom deviates from the coordination square plane, which contains the pyridyl and imine N atoms, the thiolate S a...

The title compounds were prepared by brominating 1-acetylnaphthalene in chloroform followed by condensation with substituted benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazones using ethanol to get 4-naphthalen-1-yl-2-{2-[(substituted phenyl)methylidene]hydrazino}-1,3-thiazoles. These thiazole derivatives were then cyclized to title compounds by reacting with thiomalic acid in dioxane using ZnCl2. All the synthesi...

The poxvirus vaccinia virus (VV) served as the model virus for which the first antivirals, the thiosemicarbazones, were identified. This dates back to 1950; and, although there is at present no single antiviral drug specifically licensed for the chemotherapy or -prophylaxis of poxvirus infections, numerous candidate compounds have been described over the past 50 years. These compounds include i...

Heartwater is a tick-transmitted rickettsial infection of ruminants, caused by Cowdria ruminantium. The tetracyclines are the only compounds available for therapy of the disease. A screen, using mice infected with C. ruminantium, was developed and used to identify new compounds with potential for the control of heartwater. A series of di-4-methyl-thiosemicarbazones was shown to be highly active...

A simple and new simultaneous fourth derivative spectrophotometric method is proposed for the analysis of a two-component system containing cobalt(II) and nickel(II) without separation using 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (HMBATSC) as a chromophoric reagent. The reagent reacts with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) at pH 6.0, forming soluble brown and yellow colored species, respect...
