Synthesis, Spectroscopic And Biological Investigation Of Cyclic Octapeptide: Cherimolacyclopeptide G, Rajiv Dahiya Jan 2008

Synthesis, Spectroscopic And Biological Investigation Of Cyclic Octapeptide: Cherimolacyclopeptide G, Rajiv Dahiya

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A natural cyclic octapeptide cherimolacyclopeptide G (8) was synthesized by coupling of tetrapeptide units Boc-Gly-Ala-Val-Pro-OMe (5) and Boc-Ile-Tyr-Ala-Pro-OMe (6) after proper deprotection at carboxyl and amino terminals followed by cyclization of the linear peptide segment. The structure was elucidated by IR, ^1H-NMR, ^{13}C-NMR, FAB MS spectral data, and elemental analyses. The newly synthesized cyclopeptide was also evaluated for its antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and cytotoxic activities and found to exhibit potent anthelmintic and cytotoxic activity against earthworms, Megascoplex konkanensis, Pontoscotex corethruses, and Eudrilus species, and Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) and Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma (EAC) cell lines. In addition, compound 8 possessed moderate …


Characterization And Antimicrobial Activity Of Organotin(Iv) Complexes Of 2-[(2´,6´-Diethylphenylamido)]Benzoates And 3-[(2´,6´-Diethylphenylamido)]Propanoates, Saira Shahzadi, Khadija Shahid, Saqib Ali, Mohammad Bakhtiar Jan 2008

Characterization And Antimicrobial Activity Of Organotin(Iv) Complexes Of 2-[(2´,6´-Diethylphenylamido)]Benzoates And 3-[(2´,6´-Diethylphenylamido)]Propanoates, Saira Shahzadi, Khadija Shahid, Saqib Ali, Mohammad Bakhtiar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

New organotin(IV) complexes with 2-[(2',6'-diethylphenylamido)] benzoic acid (HL^1) and 3-[(2',6' -diethylphenylamido)]propanoic acid (HL^2) were synthesized by the reaction of di- and triorganotin salts in the presence of triethylamine as base or dioctyltin oxide using a Dean and Stark trap for the removal of azeotropic water. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, and mass spectral studies, and proof that tin-ligand coordination involves only the carboxylate group and complexes show hexa-coordinated geometry in solid state. Multinuclear NMR data show that triorganotin complexes exhibit 4-coordinated geometry while diorganotin complexes show a coordination number greater than 4, probably 5 or 6 …


Synthesis Of New Bengazole Analogues And Their Antimicrobial Activity, Jurgen Krauss, Sandra Kalkbrenner, Angela Schuster, Anne Obainoke, Franz Bracher Jan 2008

Synthesis Of New Bengazole Analogues And Their Antimicrobial Activity, Jurgen Krauss, Sandra Kalkbrenner, Angela Schuster, Anne Obainoke, Franz Bracher

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Bengazole A and bengazole B are 2 representatives out of a large family of marine metabolites isolated from a Jaspis sponge and display potent anti-fungal and anthelmintic activity as well as modest cytotoxic activity. This paper reports a short and efficient synthesis and microbiological evaluation of some new bengazole analogues.
