Comparative Density Functional Study Of Antioxidative Activity Of The Hydroxybenzoic Acids And Their Anions, Zoran Markovic, Jelena Djorovic, Jasmina M. Dimitric Markovic, Radomir Biocanin, Dragan Amic

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Hydroxybenzoic acids (HBAs) and their anions play an important role in the food and pharmaceutical industries because of their antioxidant activity. In this study, we examined the mechanisms of the free radical scavenging action of HBAs and their anions using density functional theory (DFT) methods. Reaction enthalpies related to the mechanisms of free radical scavenging by the investigated species were calculated by DFT methods in water, DMSO, pentylethanoate, and benzene. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) is a preferred reaction pathway in benzene, while sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) is a predominant reaction pathway in polar solvents, water, and DMSO for …


Prostereoisomerism And Biological Activity: Possible Implications For Drug Design, Sosale Chandrasekhar Jan 2016

Prostereoisomerism And Biological Activity: Possible Implications For Drug Design, Sosale Chandrasekhar

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Prostereoisomerism (PIM), representing a subgroup within the achiral class of molecules, is manifested in a chiral environment. Although this is regardless of the orientation of the prostereoisomeric (PIC) molecule, PIM is manifested most emphatically in relation to a chiral surface (`two-dimensional chirality'). Then PIM is tantamount to `de facto chirality' as attachment of the PIC molecule to the surface leads to diastereomeric possibilities (cf. Ogston's hypothesis). Furthermore, the formation of host--guest complexes requires a steric complementarity between the component molecules. The fact that the weak dispersive forces involved therein require an optimum distance implies a `snugness of fit' criterion. This …

The novel compounds were fully characterized by $^{1}$H NMR, $^{13}$C NMR, and elemental analyses. The catalytic activities of these salts were tested in the arylation of aldehydes as catalysts that were generated in situ from [RhCl(COD)]$_{2}$. In addition, 2a was converted to the rhodium complex 3a in order to compare the results obtained in situ. The newly synthesized compounds were very efficient in terms of yield; nevertheless they did not exhibit a chiral induction.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of N-acylhydrazone derivatives (2a--2p) containing 6-methoxy-naphthalene and acylhydrazone moieties were synthesized in good yield using microwave irradiation and developed as potential COX-2 inhibitors. Furthermore, the interactions between COX-2 and the compounds were examined in detail by molecular modeling studies such as structure--activity relationship and molecular docking performed using Gaussian 09 and Discovery Studio 3.5. As a result, it was found that N-acylhydrazone compounds displayed a different mechanism than SC-558 as COX-2 inhibitor by binding to different active sites of the protein, COX-2. Compound 2c would be a good COX-2 inhibitor candidate for preclinical studies.

The single crystal X-ray structures of 1 and 2 are also reported. Thermogravimetric analysis of 1 and 2 showed that both precursors decompose cleanly in a single step to produce their respective metal sulfides. The deposition of thin films was carried out on soda glass substrates in the 350--450 °C temperature range under inert conditions. The as-deposited thin films were …

New 3-aryl-6-methylpyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine-5,7(6H,8H)-diones and 3-aryl-6-ethyl-7-thioxo-7,8-dihydropyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazin-5(6H)-ones were efficiently synthesized via a regiospecific one-pot reaction of N-methylbarbituric acid and N-ethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid with various arylglyoxal monohydrates in the presence of hydrazine dihydrochloride in ethanol at 50 °C. The target compounds were obtained in high yields and were regioisomerically pure after recrystallization. These new heterocycles may act as potential MAO_{B} inhibitors.

The ability of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 to grow on organic and inorganic sulfur sources was investigated. A sulfur-free mineral medium was employed with different sources of carbon. The results showed that inorganic sulfur sources display growth curve patterns significantly different from the curves obtained with organic sulfur sources. Solfataricus has the ability to utilize DBT and its derivatives, but it lacks BT utilization. Solfataricus} utilizes DBT at a rate of 1.23 \mu mol 2-HBP h^{-1} g DCW^{-1} even at 78 °C, at which DBT is known to be unstable. After enabling DBT stabilization using a two-phase culture …
