Coordination compounds of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) with 1,3,4-thiadiazole-2,5-disulfonamide as ligand were synthesized and characterized by IR and UV spectroscopy, conductimetry and thermogravimetry. The parent ligand is a very weak carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitor, although it constituted the lead for developing important classes of diuretics. The complex derivatives behave ...

The high throughput screening of a library of over 87,000 drug-like compounds against the African sleeping sickness parasite resulted in the discovery of hits with a wide range of molecular diversity. We report here the medicinal chemistry development of one such hit, a tetrahydroisoquinoline disulfonamide, with the synthesis and testing of 26 derivatives against the trypanosome subspecies. Act...

In the title compound, C(18)H(26)N(2)O(6)S(2), all bond lengths and angles are normal. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Methoxymethylation of a variety of alcohols was performed using formaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethyl hydantoin [DCDMH] and Poly N,N′-dibromo-N-ethyl naphthyl-2,7-disulfonamide [PBNS] as catalysts at room temperature and under solvent-free conditions. Our experiments show that primary and secondary alcohols can be smoothly converted into the corresponding MOM...

There is currently a need for effective ligand design approaches for toxic metals, and Pb(II) in particular, for probing Pb(II) coordination and reactivity in biological systems, as well as for separation and sensing applications. Ion-exchange extraction is a potentially powerful approach, which combines coordination chemistry principles with variations in metal extractability in order to optim...
