Bio-relevant complexes of novel N2O2 type heterocyclic ligand: Synthesis, structural elucidation, biological evaluation and docking studies.

J. Photochem. Photobiol. B, Biol. 149 , 93-102, (2015)

Organic and inorganic entities [Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)] have been bridged by N2O2 type heterocyclic imine (CN) ligand for the synthesis of novel organic-inorganic bridged complexes of the type [M(H2L)]. The synthesized complexes were characterized ...

Identification and characterization of novel benzil (diphenylethane-1,2-dione) analogues as inhibitors of mammalian carboxylesterases.

J. Med. Chem. 48 , 2906-15, (2005)

Carboxylesterases (CE) are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the metabolism of xenobiotics. Because the structural and amino acid homology among esterases of different classes, the identification of selective inhibitors of these proteins has proved problemat...

Fluorescence derivatization method for sensitive chromatographic determination of zidovudine based on the Huisgen reaction.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1355 , 206-10, (2014)

A novel pre-column fluorescence derivatization method for chromatographic analysis of azide compounds was developed based on the Huisgen reaction, which is a specific cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and an azide. We designed and synthesized a fluores...

One-pot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles using [BPy]H2PO4, an efficient and recyclable catalyst.

Prep Biochem Biotechnol. 43(2) , 189-96, (2013)

[BPy]H(2)PO(4) was easily prepared and used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. Solvent-free conditions, simple experimental and workup...

Synthesis and characterization of Schiff base octaazamacrocyclic complexes and their biological studies.

J. Photochem. Photobiol. B, Biol. 142 , 8-19, (2015)

A condensation reaction between 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione dihydrazone (DPEDDH) and dimethyl or diethyloxalate in methanol resulted in a novel Schiff base octaazamacrocyclic ligand, (L): (6,7,14,15-tetraoxa-2,3,10,11-tetraphenyl-1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16-octaazacy...

Experimental and theoretical studies of the products of addition-elimination reactions between benzil dihydrazone and three isomeric chlorobenzaldehydes.

Acta Crystallogr. C Struct. Chem. 71 , 554-63, (2015)

A series of mono- and di-Schiff bases formed between benzil dihydrazone {BDH; systematic name: (1Z)-[(2E)-2-hydrazinylidene-1,2-diphenylethylidene]hydrazine} and three isomeric chlorobenzaldehydes were designed and synthesized to be used as model compounds to...

A nickel complex of a conjugated bis-dithiocarbazate Schiff base for the photocatalytic production of hydrogen.

Dalton Trans. 44 , 14265-71, (2015)

We report a nickel complex containing a conjugated bis-dithiocarbazate ligand that is an active catalyst for the reduction of protons into hydrogen gas. Light-driven hydrogen generation is observed from a system containing this molecular nickel catalyst coupl...

Comparison of benzil and trifluoromethyl ketone (TFK)-mediated carboxylesterase inhibition using classical and 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship analysis.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 17 , 149-64, (2009)

Carboxylesterases are enzymes that hydrolyze a broad suite of endogenous and exogenous ester-containing compounds to the corresponding alcohol and carboxylic acid. These enzymes metabolize a number of therapeutics including the anti-tumor agent CPT-11, the an...

Eur. J. Med. Chem. 44(4) , 1731-6, (2009)

A new series of complexes have been synthesized by template condensation of oxalyldihydrazide and benzil in methanolic medium in the presence of trivalent chromium, manganese and iron salts forming complexes of the type [M(C(32)H(24)N(8)O(4))X]X(2) where M = ...

Critical role of neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase 1 in cholesteryl ester hydrolysis in murine macrophages.

J. Lipid Res. 55(10) , 2033-40, (2014)

Hydrolysis of intracellular cholesteryl ester (CE) is the rate-limiting step in the efflux of cholesterol from macrophage foam cells. In mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs), this process is thought to involve several enzymes: hormone-sensitive lipase (Lipe), ...
