Synthesis and characterization of some dibutylbis{5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]-2-hydroxybenzoato}tin(IV) compounds. Toxicity studies of di- and tri-or…

2003

The preparation and spectroscopic characterization of some complexes of the type Bu2Sn(LH)2 (LH = 5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]-2-hydroxybenzoate) are reported. On the basis of spectroscopic evidence (1H, 13C, 119Sn NMR, IR and 119mSn Mossbauer) the compounds were judged to adopt the usual dicarboxylato structural type with a skew trapezoidal arrangement. This was further confirmed by X-ray crystallography in the case of Bu2Sn(L5H)2 (L5H = 5-[(E)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-diazenyl]-2-hydroxybenzoate). Toxicity studies of the di- and tri-organotin compounds on the second larval instar of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae are reported. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Investigations concerning the COX/5-LOX inhibiting and hydroxyl radical scavenging potencies of novel 4,5-diaryl isoselenazoles

2007

The aim of this study was to investigate 4,5-diaryl isoselenazoles as multiple target non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (MTNSAIDs) which can intervene into the inflammatory processes via different mechanisms of action creating a new class of compounds. Here we describe the synthesis of COX/LOX inhibitors which additionally reduce the level of reactive oxygen species, such as hydroxyl radicals which are well known for supporting inflammation processes in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

Discovery of 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-1,4,2-dioxazoles as potent firefly luciferase inhibitors.

2013

Luciferase reporter assays are commonly used in high-throughput screening methods. Here, we report new firefly luciferase (FLuc) inhibitors based on 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and 5-benzyl-3-phenyl-1,4,2-dioxazoles, which showed up as "false positives" in a luciferase reporter gene-based assay for nuclear receptor antagonists. The inhibition was shown to be noncompetitive for both natural enzyme substrates (d-luciferin and ATP) and selective to FLuc and proven to arise from a direct interaction between the enzyme and the inhibitor. Of the 63 evaluated compounds, 28 showed significantly better inhibition potency than the well-known inhibitor resveratrol (IC(50) = 59 nM), with fi…

4-hydroxy-ONN-azoxybenzene

2000

The oxidation of 4-hydroxy­azo­benzene provided a mixture of two azoxy compounds, which were separated by column chromatography. The isomer with the higher melting point appeared to belong to the α (ONN) series, as determined by X-ray diffraction. The mol­ecule, C12H10N2O2, is almost planar. The benzene rings are twisted by 11.7 (2) (substituted) and 4.1 (1)° (unsubstituted) with respect to the ONN plane. The mol­ecules are connected to one another by strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming chains extended along [001], which are bound by much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming layers in the bc plane.

Synthesis and in vitro antimicrobial activities of new (cyano-NNO-azoxy) pyrazole derivatives

2011

The antibacterial and antifungal activity of a series of products, in which the 1,5-dimethyl-4-(cyano- NNO-azoxy)pyrazol-3-yl and 1,3-dimethyl-4-(cyano-NNO-azoxy)pyrazol-5-yl moieties were linked to pyridine, pyrazole, isoxazole, thiophene and the furan ring, were examined. No molecule displayed activity against the Gram-negative bacteria tested. Conversely, some compounds displayed activity against two Staphylococcus aureus strains, including the methicillin resistant strain. All compounds displayed interesting antifungal activity, the most active compound of the series being the thiophene derivative 7a. This compound’s activity against Candida krusei and Candida glabrata (MIC = 0.25 and 0…

Orthorhombic polymorphs of twotrans-4-aminoazoxybenzenes

2002

The two isomeric compounds 4-amino-ONN-azoxybenzene [or 1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-phenyldiazene 2-oxide], i.e. the alpha isomer, and 4-amino-NNO-azoxybenzene [or 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyldiazene 2-oxide], i.e. the beta isomer, both C(12)H(11)N(3)O, crystallized from a polar solvent in orthorhombic space groups, and their crystal and molecular structures have been determined using X-ray diffraction. There are no significant differences in the bond lengths and valence angles in the two isomers, in comparison with their monoclinic polymorphs. However, the conformations of the molecules are different due to rotation along the Ar-N bonds. In the alpha isomer, the benzene rings are twisted by 31.5 (2)…

Twotrans-4-aminoazoxybenzenes

2001

Two isomeric trans-4-aminoazoxybenzenes, trans-1-(4-aminophenyl)-2-phenyldiazene 2-oxide (alpha, C(12)H(11)N(3)O) and trans-2-(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyldiazene 2-oxide (beta, C(12)H(11)N(3)O), have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The alpha isomer is almost planar, having torsion angles along the C(aryl)-N bonds of only 4.9 (2) and 8.0 (2) degrees. The relatively short C(aryl)-N bond to the non-oxidized site of the azoxy group [1.401 (2) A], together with the significant quinoid deformation of the respective phenyl ring, is evidence of conjugation between the aromatic sextet and the pi-electron system of the azoxy group. The geometry of the beta isomer is different. The non-substitute…

Asymmetric Michael Addition in Synthesis of β-Substituted GABA Derivatives

2022

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) represents one of the most prolific structural units widely used in the design of modern pharmaceuticals. For example, β-substituted GABA derivatives are found in numerous neurological drugs, such as baclofen, phenibut, tolibut, pregabalin, phenylpiracetam, brivaracetam, and rolipram, to mention just a few. In this review, we critically discuss the literature data reported on the preparation of substituted GABA derivatives using the Michael addition reaction as a key synthetic transformation. Special attention is paid to asymmetric methods featuring synthetically useful stereochemical outcomes and operational simplicity. This research was funded by the National Na…

Bacterial sensor kinases using Fe–S cluster binding PAS or GAF domains for O2sensing

2012

[4Fe-4S](2+) clusters are used by very diverse types of bacterial sensors for response to oxygen, including DNA-binding proteins of the CRP/FNR family and sensor kinases like NreB. In NreB the cluster is bound by an input domain of the PAS type. The [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster of NreB responds to O(2) by degradation to a [2Fe-2S](2+) cluster which is labile and decomposes. NreB constitutes together with AirS the NreB/AirS family of bacterial sensor kinases that contain PAS or GAF domains for binding of [4Fe-4S](2+) or [2Fe-2S](2+) clusters and oxygen sensing. The NreB/AirS family is related to the FixL sensor kinases that use hemeB binding PAS domains for oxygen sensing.
