Synthesis of Polyfused Heterocycle Derivatives Containing the Dipyridoimidazole Core by Friedländer’s Reaction: Access to Analogs of Ellipticine
Reaction of 3-amino-2-formylimidazo[l,2-a]pyridine with various aldehydes and ketones by Friedlander's methodology afforded an entry to dipyridoimidazole, tri(tetra)azacyclopenta[b]fluorene, tri(tetra)azabenzo[b]-fluorene and triazaindeno[2,1-b]phenanthrene derivatives. Intercalation with a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide was examined.
In vitro cytotoxic effects of DEHP-alternative plasticizers and their primary metabolites on a L929 cell line
IF 4.208; International audience; Phthalic acid esters have been widely used to improve the plasticity of PVC medical devices. They carry a high exposure risk for both humans and the environment in clinical situations. Our study focuses on the cytotoxicity of alternative plasticizers. Postulated primary metabolites were synthesized, not being commercially available. Cytotoxicity assays were performed on L929 murine cells according to the ISO-EN 10993-5 standard design for the biocompatibility of medical devices. The tested concentrations of plasticizers (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/ml) covered the range likely to be found in biological fluids coming into direct contact with the medical devices. D…
