Single crystals of three-dimensional (3D) C60 polymer were prepared by the topotactic conversion two-dimensional (2D) single at a pressure 15 GPa 600 degrees C. The x-ray crystal study revealed that 3D crystallized in body centered orthorhombic space group Immm, and spherical monomer units substantially deformed to rectangular parallelepiped (cuboidal) shapes, each unit being bonded eight cuboidal neighbors via [3 + 3] cycloaddition. was electron conductive, contrast with nonconductive...

1-Arylnaphthalene lignan, which had been reported as a PDE4 inhibitor by Iwasaki, was disclosed new structural class of PDE5 inhibitors. The requirements for potent and specific inhibition were revealed in 1-arylnaphthalene lignan series, 1-(3-bromo-4, 5-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-chloro-3-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinylcarbon yl]-2-(methoxycarbonyl)naphthalene hydrochloride (27q) showed the most (PDE5 IC50 = 6.2 nM, selectivity against PDE1, -2, -3, -4 >16 000). It is noteworthy that 27q has best...

A novel class of potent and selective phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, 4-aryl-1-isoquinolinone derivatives, which have been designed by the comparison structure cGMP a previously reported 1-arylnaphthalene lignan, was disclosed. Among these compounds, methyl 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1,2-dihydro-1-oxo-7-(2-pyridinylmethoxy)-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxylate dihydrochloride (36a) exhibited PDE5 inhibitory activity (IC(50) = 1.0 nM) with high isozyme selectivities ratio:...

Abstract Total synthesis of a lanthionine peptide nisin was achieved by the successive condensations four segments including cyclic parts and C-terminal linear segment dehydroalanine, followed deprotection procedure with anhydrous HF. Modified reaction conditions for Hofmann degradation were applied to prepare dehydroalanine residue from 2,3-diaminopropionic acid residue. The final HF proceeded without decomposition dehydroamino residues which are generally labile in acidic media. synthetic...

Stereoselective carbon−carbon bond formation by dynamic kinetic resolution using tert-butyl (4S)-1-methyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylate (1) as a chiral auxiliary was developed. Reaction of diastereomeric mixture (4S)-3-[(2RS)-2-bromoacyl]-1-methyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylates (2) with malonic ester enolate in HMPA predominantly afforded (4S)-3-[(2R)-2-alkyl-3,3-bis(alkoxycarbonyl)propionyl]-1-methyl-2-oxoimidazolidine-4-carboxylate [(S,R)-8] good yields. The stereoselectivity this...

Even if the trajectory in a viscous flow system stays within low dimensional subspace state space, reinforcement learning (RL) requires many observables active control problem. This is because are assumed to follow policy-independent Markov decision process usual RL framework and full observation of required satisfy this assumption. Although with partially observable condition generally difficult task, we construct consistent algorithm using property flow. Using typical examples control,...
