Fluorescence Interaction and Determination of Sulfathiazole with Trypsin

The mechanism of interaction of trypsin with the sulfathiazole was studied through using fluorescence quenching and UV-visible absorption spectra at pH 7.4. The Stern-Volmer quenching constants, binding constants, number of binding sites and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔH^o, ΔS^o and ΔG^o were calculated at different temperatures. The effect of common metal ions on the constants was also discussed. The results suggest that sulfathiazole can interact strongly trypsin and that there is the formation of trypsin-sulfathiazole complex and the interaction can be explained on the basis of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The binding distance (r) between the donor (trypsin) and acceptor (sulfathiazole) was 3.52 nm based on the Förster’s non-radiative energy transfer theory. The detection and quantification limits of sulfathiazole were calculated as 2.52 and 8.40 μM in the presence of trypsin, respectively. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 4.086 % for determinations (n?=?7) of a sulfathiazole solution with the concentration of 7.54 μM.     

Oxygen bridged Homobinuclear Mn(II) compounds with Anthranilic acid: Theoretical calculations,oxidation and catalase activity

Two new homobinuclear manganese compounds with mixed ligands, [Mn₂(μ_1,1–2‐NH₂C₆H₄COO)₂(phen)₄](ClO₄)2(CH₃OH) ( 1 ), and [Mn₂(μ_1,3–2‐NH₂C₆H₄COO)₂(bipy)₄](ClO₄)2 ( 2 ) (NH₂C₆H₄COOH = anthranilic acid, bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐ phenanthroline) were synthesized and thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV and single crystal X‐ray crystallography. X‐ray structure analysis shows that in the mono‐ and bidentate carboxylate bridged compounds, Mn–Mn distances of 1 and 2 are 3,461 Å, and 4,639 Å, respectively. The energy of the compounds was determined with a DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculation on B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) optimized geometry by using the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) basis set. These compounds acts as biomimetic catalyst and show catalase‐like activity for the hydrogen peroxide dismutation at room temperature in different solvents with remarkable activity (TOF, Turnover frequency = mol of subst./(mol of cat. × time)) up to 12640 h^?1 with 1 , and 17910 h^?1 with 2 in Tris–HCl buffer). Moreover, the catalytic activity of 1 and 2 has been studied for oxidation of alcohols (cinnamyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, 1‐octanol and 1‐heptanol) and alkenes (cyclohexene, styrene, ethyl benzene, 1‐octene and 1‐hexene) in a homogeneous catalytic system consisting t‐butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant in acetonitrile. Both compounds exhibited very high activity in the oxidation of cyclohexene to cyclohexanone (~80% selectivity, ~99% conversion in 1 h, TOF = 243 h^?1 and 226 h^?1) and cinnamyl alcohol to cinnamaldehyde (~64% selectivity) as the main product with very high TOF value (9180 h^?1 and 13040 h^?1 in the first minute of reaction) (~100% conversion in 0.5 h) with TBHP at 70 °C in acetonitrile, for 1 and 2 , respectively.     

Carrier‐Mediated Transport of Hg(II) through Bulk and Supported Liquid Membranes

The transport of Hg (II) ions from an aqueous solution into an aqueous receiving solution through bulk and supported liquid membranes containing a calix[4]arene derivative 1 as a carrier was examined. The kinetic parameters of bulk liquid membrane studies were analyzed assuming two consecutive, irreversible first‐order reactions. The influence of temperature, stirring rate, carrier concentration and solvent on the kinetic parameters (k₁, k₂, R_m ^max, t_max, J_d ^max, J_a ^max) has also been investigated. The membrane entrance rate, k₁, and the membrane exit rate, k₂, increased with increasing temperature and stirring rate. The activation energy values are calculated as 4.87 and 48.63 kj mol^?1 for extraction and reextraction, respectively. The values of calculated activation energy indicate that the process is diffusionally controlled by species. Also, the transport behavior of Hg²⁺ from aqueous solution through a flat‐sheet supported liquid membrane has been investigated by the use of calix[4]arene derivative 1 as carrier and Celgard 2500 as the solid support. A Danesi mass transfer model was used to calculate the permeability coefficients for each parameter studied. The highest values of permeability were obtained with 2‐nitrophenyloctyl‐ether (NPOE) solvent and the influence was found to be in the order of NPOE>chloroform>xylene.     

A facile strategy for the annulation of 2-phenylsulfonyl methylene thiazolidin-4-one via multicomponent reactions

An efficient synthesis of 5-amino-7-aryl-3-oxo-8-(phenylsulfonyl)-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridine-6-carbonitriles was conducted utilizing multicomponent condensation reaction of malononitrile, aromatic aldehydes and 2-phenylsulfonylmethylenethiazolidin-4-one in one pot. Depending on the equivalence of the aldehyde, two different products were obtained from moderate to excellent yields. Thirteen novel structures were characterized by physical and spectroscopic methods (m.p., Rf, IR, NMR and mass analysis).     

Four-Component,One-Pot Synthesis of 2-Aryl-4-Thionylquinoline Derivatives and Their Aromatization

Four-component, one-pot condensation of dimedon, thiophene-2-carbaldehyde, ammonium acetate, and numerous acetophenones yielded novel 2-aryl-4-thionylquinoline derivatives. The structures were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and elemental analysis.     

Cyclohexenones Through Regioselective Addition of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds to Terpenoid-Like Bischalcones

Terpenoid-like bischalcones (3 and 4) were synthesized from the reaction of α- and β-ionones and benzaldehydes in excellent yields. The Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to bischalcones (3 and 4) resulted in the formation of cyclohexenones derivatives (10a–d and 14a, b) via regioselective addition of 1,3-dicarbonyls and then cyclization.
