Nitroblue-tetrazolium test for the functional evaluation of phagocytic cells: a critical analysis of the methodology.

1981

The reduction of NBT to formazan has been suggested as an indicator of the reduction potential of biological systems. An increase in the amount of reduced formazan reflects the activation of the hexose monophosphate shunt of phagocytes cultivated in vitro, as a result of cellular stimulation by chemical or biological factors, or during phagocytosis. This phenomenon has been widely used for the determination of activated phagocytes by different methods. However, the technical limitations of these methods have not been evaluated carefully. In the investigations presented here three solvents for formazan, pyridine, dioxane and dimethyl-formamide, have been tested for their suitability as extra…

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Combretastatin A-4 and Three Combretastatin-Based Hybrids

2012

The syntheses of combretastatin A-4 from gallic acid and of three combretastatin-based hybrids are described. Starting from commercial gallic acid, the phosphonium salt (3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylphosphonium bromide) is synthesized and coupled, through a Wittig reaction, with several aldehydes, including methoxymethyl-protected isovanillin, the aldehyde γ-bicyclohomofarnesal having a labdane skeleton, 3-(3-pyridyl) propanal, and furfural. The biological properties of the cis-coupled compounds as cytotoxic, antiviral and antifungal agents are also reported. In addition, pyrogallol, gallic and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acids have been studied biologically.

Designing fluorous domains. Synthesis of a series of pyridinium salts bearing a perfluoroalkylated azole moiety

2006

The synthesis of a series of N-methylpyridinium salts bearing a perfluoroalkylated 1,2,4-oxadiazole or 1,2,4-triazole moiety is reported. X-Ray structures of representative perfluoroalkyl-triazolylpyridine (15) and methyl- pyridinium iodide salt (5a) are reported. Their crystal packing clearly shows segregation between the aromatic and parallel double layer fluorinated regions.

Effect of a "therapeutic" concentration of digitoxigenine on myocardial potassium and sodium content in Ca-poor media.

1972

The effect of 3·10−7 g/ml digitoxigenine on cellular K and Na concentrations, [K]i and [Na]i, water content, extracellular space, and contractile force was investigated in isolated electrically stimulated left guinea-pig auricles at reduced extracellular Ca concentration (0.45 mM). Digitoxigenine, which increased contractile force without producing arrhythmias or contractures, decreased [K]i and enhanced [Na]i. Water content and extracellular space remained unchanged. It is concluded that digitoxigenine can decrease myocardial [K]i and increase [Na]i even in “therapeutic” concentrations, provided that the experiments are performed in Ca-poor media.

Radical Cyclization and 1,5-Hydrogen Transfer in Selected Aromatic Diazonium Salts

2014

2-(Methyl(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)carbamoyl)thiophene-3-diazonium hydrogen sulfate 20, 2-(methyl(3-methyl-isoxazol-5yl)carbamoyl)-benzenediazonium hydrogen sulfate 21 and 2-(methyl(phenyl)carbamoyl)-benzenediazonium hydrogen sulphate 22 were synthesized and reacted with a CuSO4/NaCl/ascorbic acid combination to give complex mixtures. The structures of the reaction products were elucidated, depending upon the pathways followed. Compound 20 almost exclusively afforded an Ar-5 cyclization product and trace amounts of the product derived from a competing Ar-6 Pschorr closure. In the case of compound 21, the Ar-6 cyclization was not observed, while the Ar-5 cyclization and 1,5-hydrogen…

Probing the thermal stability and the decomposition mechanism of a magnesium-fullerene polymer via X-ray Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and mo…

2016

International audience; We report the microscopic view of the thermal structural stability of the magnesium intercalated fullerene polymer Mg2C60. With the application of X-ray Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, we study in detail the decomposition pathways of the polymer system upon annealing at temperatures between 300 and 700 degrees C. We show that there are at least two energy scales involved in the decomposition reaction. Intermolecular carbon bonds, which are responsible for the formation of a 2D fullerene polymer, are broken with a relatively modest thermal energy, while the long-range order of the original polymer remains intact. With an increased thermal energy, the crystal…

Potassic dyke swarm in the Sapucai Graben, Eastern Paraguay: Petrographical, mineralogical and geochemical outlines.

1992

Abstract The western side of the Parana Basin of Brazil extends to central Paraguay, where repeated and widespread magmatic activity developed from Lower Cretaceous to Oligocene, associated with late Mesozoic crustal extension trending NE-SW. In central Paraguay this trend is characterized by a zone of NW-SE normal faults which formed the Asuncion-Sapucai graben, up to 45 km wide and 200 km long, where alkaline rocks occur as volcanic domes, complexes, lava-flows and dykes. These rocks, 128 Ma aged, are dominantly potassic and ne-normative. A swarm of at least 200, mainley NW-SE trending, dykes occurs in the Sapucai region and seems to be formed by two main lineages: tephrite to phonolite (…

Phosphororganische Verbindungen, 85. Kinetische Untersuchungen der Umsetzung organischer Phosphorverbindungen mit Nucleophilen und Supernucleophilen

1977

Bei der alkalischen Spaltung von quartaren Phosphoniumsalzen und tertiaren Phosphinoxiden zeigt HOO⊖ keinen α-Effekt. Die Spaltung der P–C-Bindung wird auch nicht durch Gruppen erleichtert, welche uber die Ausbildung von H-Brucken den Angriff von HOO⊖ am Phosphoniumzentrum fordern. — In Ubereinstimmung mit den Ergebnissen anderer Autoren wird bei der Hydrolyse der Phosphin-, Phosphon- und Phosphorsaureester 1, 2 und 3 in Gegenwart von H2O2 ein α-Effekt beobachtet, der sich in einer Hydrolysebeschleunigung um einen Faktor von ca. 100 ausdruckt. Die Hydrolysegeschwindigkeit nimmt sowohl mit HO⊖ als auch mit HOO⊖ entsprechend folgender Reihenfolge ab: Diphenylphosphinsaure-(p-nitrophenyl)ester…
