Herbicidal activity of phosphonic and phosphinic acid analogues of glutamic and aspartic acids
1992
Phosphonic and phosphinic acid analogues of glutamic and aspartic acids were synthesized and screened for herbicidal activity on Lepidium sativum L. Depending on the chemical structure, they exhibited significant or moderate herbicidal activity against L. sativum roots (with some representatives being equipotent with phosphinothricin), while their influence on shoot growth was negligible. Cucumis sativus L. appeared to be more tolerant to these analogues. The origin of this selectivity remains to be determined.
Synthesis and herbicidal activity of isoxazole-substituted 1-aminoethylphosphonates and 1-hydroxyethylphosphonates
1994
Isoxazole‐substituted 1‐aminoethyl‐ and 1‐hydroxyethyiphosphonates were synthesized by a multi‐step procedure and were screened for herbicidal activity against Lepidium sativum L. and Cucumis sativus L. All the synthesized compounds exhibited notable herbicidal activity.
Stereoselective Total Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of the Natural Decanolides (−)-Microcarpalide and (+)-Lethaloxin. Identity of (+)-Lethalox…
2005
[reaction: see text] Convergent, stereoselective syntheses of the pharmacologically active, naturally occurring lactones (-)-microcarpalide and (+)-lethaloxin have been achieved from the commercially available, chiral reagents (R)-glycidol, (S,S)-tartaric acid, and d-ribose as the starting materials. These syntheses have further served to establish the hitherto unknown absolute configuration of (+)-lethaloxin and to show its identity with (+)-pinolidoxin.
Catalytic Diastereo- and enantioselective vinylogous Mannich reaction of alkylidenepyrazolones to isatin-derived ketimines
2021
A valuable organocatalytic vinylogous Mannich reaction between alkylidenepyrazolones and isatin-derived ketimines has been successfully established. Squaramide organocatalyst, prepared from quinine, catalyzed the diastereo- and enantioselective vinylogous Mannich addition, affording a range of aminooxindole-pyrazolone adducts (24 examples) with excellent outcomes: up to 98% yield with complete diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). Additionally, different synthetic transformations were performed with the chiral pyrazolone-oxindole adducts.
ChemInform Abstract: Chemoenzymatic-Chemical Synthesis of a (2-3)-Sialyl T Threonine Building Block and Its Application to the Synthesis of the N-Ter…
2010
Protection of all functional groups of the carbohydrate portion of the chemoenzymatically synthesized sialyl T threonine ester 1 (R=R1 =H, R2 =tBu, Fmoc=9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) and subsequent acidolysis of the tert-butyl ester afforded the building block 2 (R=Ac, R1 =Me, R2 =H). The latter is a useful tool in the solid-phase synthesis of the N-terminal sequence 3 of the leukemia-associated leukosialin.
Large-Scale Recombinant Production of the SARS-CoV-2 Proteome for High-Throughput and Structural Biology Applications
2021
The highly infectious disease COVID-19 caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 poses a severe threat to humanity and demands the redirection of scientific efforts and criteria to organized research projects. The international COVID19-NMR consortium seeks to provide such new approaches by gathering scientific expertise worldwide. In particular, making available viral proteins and RNAs will pave the way to understanding the SARS-CoV-2 molecular components in detail. The research in COVID19-NMR and the resources provided through the consortium are fully disclosed to accelerate access and exploitation. NMR investigations of the viral molecular components are designated to provide the essential…
Synthesis of tritium labeled (�)-1-[2(triphenylmethoxy)ethyl]-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid: a possible compound to determine the efficacy of potential…
2000
(±)-1-[2-(Triphenyl[ 3 H]methoxy)ethyl]-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid ([ 3 H]SNAP-5114) with a specific activity of 40 Ci/mmol was prepared in a two step synthesis starting from ethyl (2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy)-ethyl)piperidine-3-carboxylate and [ 3 H]methyliodide with subsequent hydrolysis of the resulting ester with lithium hydroxide to yield the desired [ 3 H]SNAP-5114.
Cognitive factors in the evaluation of synthetic speech
1998
Abstract This paper illustrates the importance of various cognitive factors involved in perceiving and comprehending synthetic speech. It includes findings drawn from the relative psychological and psycholinguistic literature together with experimental results obtained at the Fondazione Ugo Bordoni laboratory. Overall, it is shown that listening to and comprehending synthetic voices is more difficult than with a natural voice. However, and more importantly, this difficulty can and does decrease with the subjects' exposure to said synthetic voices. Furthermore, greater workload demands are associated with synthetic speech and subjects listening to synthetic passages are required to pay more …
The synthesis and effect of fluorinated chalcone derivatives on nitric oxide production
2002
Abstract Dimethoxy- and trimethoxychalcone derivatives, with various patterns of fluorination, were synthesized and evaluated for their influence on nitric oxide production. Some of them, chalcones 1 , 5 , 7 , 10 , 11 and 17 , inhibited NO production with an IC 50 in the submicromolar range; 17 is especially noteworthy because of its potency (IC 50 30 nM). These effects were not the consequence of a direct inhibitory action on enzyme activity but the inhibition of enzyme expression.
Solid-phase synthesis and inhibitory effects of some pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives on leukocyte formations and experimental inflammation.
2001
A number of pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines bearing a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur functionality at C-1 were synthesized on solid-phase using the iminophosphorane methodology and tested for their effects on leukocyte functions in vitro and antiinflammatory activity. Compound 5c was found to be a strong scavenger of superoxide anion and an inhibitor of chemiluminescence induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate in human neutrophils. These pyrido[1,2-c]pyrimidines inhibited the generation of PGE(2) by COX-2 in RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Compounds 7, 5f, 6, and 8 inhibited enzyme activity, whereas the remaining compounds also acted on the induction phase. In additi…
