Background & Aims: Most antibiotics not only inhibit microbial growth, but also can increase the growth of livestock. Although enrofloxacin is one of the most commonly used antibiotics, it has high toxicity on the kidney, liver, and brain. The aim of this study was to synthesize nanocellulose conjugated with aminobenzyl purin and to study its enrofloxacin adsorption capability....

Aromatic peptide nucleic acid (APNA) monomers containing N-(2-aminobenzyl)-glycine, N-(2-aminobenzyl)-(R)- or -(S)-alanine, and N-(2-aminobenzyl)-beta-alanine moieties as part of their backbone were synthesized. These novel analogues were incorporated as a single "point mutation" in PNA hexamers, and their physicochemical properties were investigated by UV thermal denaturation and CD experiment...

The 41 novel acylthiourea derivatives with hydantoin were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields by using 5-(4-aminophenyl)- and 5-(4-aminobenzyl)-hydantoin or 5-(4-aminobenzyl)-thiohydantoin as raw materials and characterized by IR, 1H NMR spectra and elementary analysis. The preliminary bioassay showed that these compounds exhibit certain selectively herbicidal activities with the 91%, 9...

The crystal structures of five 6-mercaptopurine derivatives, viz. 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-(3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethan-1-one (1), C16H14N4O3S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethan-1-one (2), C16H14N4O3S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-(4-chloro-phen-yl)ethan-1-one (3), C15H11ClN4O2S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfan-yl]-1-(4-bromo-phen-yl)etha...

The synthesis of 9,9'-[1,2-ethanediylbis(oxymethylene)]bis-2-amino-1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one, a minor impurity of acyclovir, is described. Starting with commercial N-(9-acetyl-6-oxo-1H-purin-2-yl)acetamide, the process uses an acid catalysed phase transfer catalysis (PTC) process to produce the selective alkylation at the 9 position of the guanine ring.

Six equivalents of N,N'-bis(4-aminobenzyl)urea, 12 equivalents of 2-formylpyridine and four equivalents of FeSO(4) or NiSO(4) undergo subcomponent self-assembly in aqueous solution to form tetrahedral cages around a single, encapsulated sulfate anion.

The Front Cover shows the influence of reaction solvent on purin-2-yl Grignards with carbonyl compounds. In ether (THF), gives 8-carbinol products due to a rapid isomerisation purin-8-yl, whereas performing in dichloromethane stops and yields 2-carbinols good yields. contrast aldehydes, reactions ketones require prior complexation LaCl3.2LiCl before addition Grignard reagent.
