Translocation Of The Eastern Bristlebird 1: Radio-Tracking Of Post-Release Movements, David Bain, Kris French, Jack Baker, Jean Clarke

Faculty of Science - Papers (Archive)

Translocating birds to a new area of habitat to restore or supplement depleted populations may pose a significant threat to the translocated individuals. While for many species, translocated individuals appear to move larger distances than resident animals, species with poor dispersal capacity may be restricted in movements and translocation methods may need to accommodate differences in movements to ensure success. In this study, designed to provide insights to inform our broader programme of translocations in New South Wales, Australia, we investigated post-release movements in the endangered, semi-flightless Eastern Bristlebird (Dasyornis brachypterus). We predicted that movements would be minimal, with few …

[1] The goal of this study is to determine how H2O and HDO measurements in water vapor can be used to detect and diagnose biases in the representation of processes controlling tropospheric humidity in atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs). We analyze a large number of isotopic data sets (four satellite, sixteen ground-based remote-sensing, five surface in situ and three aircraft data sets) that are sensitive to different altitudes throughout the free troposphere. Despite significant differences between data sets, we identify some observed HDO/H2O characteristics that are robust across data sets and that can be used to evaluate models. We evaluate …

A Microwave-Assisted Bismuth Nitrate-Catalyzed Unique Route Toward 1,4-Dihydropyridines, Debasish Bandyopadhyay, Stephanie Maldonado, Bimal K. Banik

Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

The classical Hantzsch reaction is one of the simplest and most economical methods for the synthesis of biologically important and pharmacologically useful 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives. Bismuth nitrate pentahydrate under microwave irradiation is proven to act as a very efficient catalyst for a one-pot, three-component synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines in excellent yields from diverse amines/ammonium acetate, aldehydes and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds within 1-3 min under solvent-free conditions. The present environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines is suitable for library synthesis and it will find application in the synthesis of potent biologically active molecules. The excellent yield and extreme rapidity of the method …

An Eigenvalue Approach To Evaluating Minors For Weighing Matrices W(N,N-1), Anna Karapiperi, Marilena Mitrouli, Michael G. Neubauer, Jennifer Seberry

Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)

In the present paper we concentrate our study on the evaluation of minors for weighing matrices W(n,n-1). Theoretical proofs concerning their minors up to the order of (n-4) x (n-4) are derived introducing an eigenvalue approach. A general theorem specifying the analytical form of any (n-l) x (n-l) minor is developed. An application to the growth problem for weighing matrices is given.

P2X7, a damage-associated molecular pattern receptor and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-gated cation channel, plays an important role in the activation of the NALP3 inflammasome and subsequent release of interleukin (IL)-1β from human monocytes; however its role in monocytes from other species including the dog remains poorly defined. This study investigated the role of P2X7 in canine monocytes, including its role in IL-1β release. A fixed-time flow cytometric assay demonstrated that activation of P2X7 by extracellular ATP induces the uptake of the organic cation, YO-PRO-12+, into peripheral blood monocytes from various dog breeds, a process impaired by the specific P2X7 …

The P2X7 purinergic receptor is an ATP-gated cation channel with an emerging role in neoplasia. In this study we demonstrate that the human KG-1 cell line, a model of acute myelogenous leukaemia, expresses functional P2X7. RT-PCR and immunochemical techniques demonstrated the presence of P2X7 mRNA and protein respectively in KG-l cells, as well as in positive control multiple myeloma RPMI 8226 cells. Flow cytometric measurements demonstrated that ATP induced ethidium(+) uptake into KG-l cells suspended in sucrose medium (EC(50) of ∼3 μM), but not into cells in NaCl medium. In contrast, ATP induced ethidium(+) uptake into RPMI 8226 cells suspended …

To further expand the structure–cytotoxic activity relationships of isatin derivatives and to reduce flexibility in substituent groups at nitrogen, 20 analogues incorporating a ring system between the N1 and C7 atoms of isatin were prepared using a variety of synthetic strategies. This yielded pyrroloindole-, pyrroloquinoline-, pyrroloacridine-, pyrrolophenanthridine- and benzopyrrolophenanthridine-based systems with embedded isatin moieties, the latter possessing a novel carbon skeleton. These compounds were subsequently assessed for their in vitro cytotoxicity against human U937 lymphoma cells, with the brominated pyrroloacridine dione 27 showing the most promising activity (IC50 3.01 μM) after 24 h.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of new 4-(3,4dimethoxyphenethyl)-3,5-akyl/aryl-4H- 1,2,4-triazoles (3a-g) were obtained by reaction of ethyl N'-(alkylidene/arylidene)hydrazonate (1) and 2-(3,4-dimethoxy phenyl)ethanamine (2). Compounds 4d, e, and g were synthesized from the reaction of corresponding compounds 3d, e, and g with BBr_3, respectively. The 10 new compounds synthesized were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ^1H-NMR, and ^{13}C-NMR spectral data. The structure of compound 3g was inferred through IR, ^1H-, ^{13}C-NMR, elemental analyses, and X-ray spectral techniques. In addition, the newly synthesized chemicals were screened for their antioxidant properties. Among the chemicals tested, 4d, e, and g exhibited the highest degree of antioxidant activity.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The 1:1 iminium intermediate generated by the addition of a secondary amine to aromatic bis-aldehydes (isophthalaldehyde and terphthalaldehyde) is trapped by the N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane in the presence of a aromatic carboxylic acid derivative, which leads to the formation of corresponding iminophosphorane intermediate. Then disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are formed via intramolecular aza-Wittig reaction of the iminophosphorane intermediates. The reactions were completed in neutral conditions at room temperature and the corresponding disubstituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were produced in excellent yields.

3-Fluoro-4-(morpholin-4-yl)aniline (2), prepared from 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene, was converted to the corresponding Schiff base (3) by treatment with indol-3-carbaldehyde. The treatment of thiourea 4 and carbothioamide derivatives 9 with ethyl bromoacetate or 4-substituted phenacyl bromides generated the corresponding thiazolidinone (5 and 13) and thiazoline (6 and 12) derivatives, respectively. The acidic or basic treatment of carbothioamide 9 produced 1,3,4-thiadiazole (11) or 1,2,4-triazole (10) compounds, respectively. The structural assignments of the new compounds were based on elemental analysis and spectral (IR, ^1H-NMR, ^{13}C-NMR, and LC-MS) data. The antimicrobial activity study revealed that all compounds showed good antitubercular activities.

All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity in vitro against 3 human tumor cell lines: human liver (HUH7), breast (MCF7), and colon (HCT116). Among the designed derivatives, most of the compounds showed significant cytotoxicity against liver and colon cancer cell lines with lower IC_{50} concentrations than the standard drug 5-fluorouracil. Compound 3s, with 3,4-dichlorophenyl substituent on the piperazine ring, was the most active in suppressing the growth of all screened cancer cells.

The treatment of 3a-e with NaBH_4 resulted in the formation of 3 kinds of product incorporating carboxcilic acid (4a-c) or alcohol (5a-e) functionality. [4-{[(4-Methoxyphenyl)methylene]amino}- and 4-{[pyridin-4-ylmethylene]amino}-3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H- 1,2,4-triazole-1-yl] acetic acids (6a, 6e) were obtained by the hydrolysis of the corresponding esters (5a-5e). The treatment of 6a with NaBH_4 caused the reduction of only the imine bond; the carboxyl group remained unchanged. Then this carboxylic acid was converted to the corresponding hydrazide (8) in 2 steps by reaction with ethanol and hydrazine hydrate, respectively. The synthesis …
