One of several potential approaches to study mechanisms action biologically active compounds is develop their agonists and antagonists. In the present study, we report identification first known molecule antagonizing activity plant hormone cytokinin at receptor level. This compound, 6-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylamino)purine, designated PI-55 in structurally closely related 6-benzylaminopurine, but substitutions specific positions aromatic side chain strongly diminished its conferred...

In this work, we describe synthesis of conjugates betulinic acid with substituted triazoles prepared via Huisgen 1,3-cycloaddition. All compounds contain free 28-COOH group. Allylic bromination protected by NBS gave corresponding 30-bromoderivatives, their substitution sodium azides produced 30-azidoderivatives and these were subjected to CuI catalysed 1,3-cycloaddition give the final conjugates. Reactions had moderate high yields. new tested for in vitro cytotoxic activities on eight cancer...

Herein we report the polymer-supported synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-oxazine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives using immobilized Fmoc-Ser(tBu)-OH and Fmoc-Thr(tBu)-OH as starting materials. After solid-phase-synthesis N-alkyl-N-sulfonyl/acyl intermediates, target dihydrooxazines were obtained trifluoroacetic acid-mediated cleavage from resin. This approach was also studied for preparation dihydrothiazines Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH. Inclusion triethylsilane in cocktail resulted stereoselective formation...

The in vitro antitumour activity studies on a panel of human cancer cell lines (A549, HeLa, G-361, A2780, and A2780R) the combined vivo ex testing L1210 lymphocytic leukaemia model were performed cis-[PtCl2(naza)2] complexes (1–3) involving 7-azaindole derivatives (naza). platinum(II) showed significantly higher cytotoxic effects cell-based models, as compared with cisplatin, ability to avoid acquired resistance A2780R line cisplatin. (applied at same dose cisplatin) revealed their positive...

An efficient method is described for the solid-supported synthesis of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines and imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines from 2,4-dichloro-3-nitropyridine. The key pyridine building block was reacted with polymer-supported amines, followed by replacement second chlorine nitro group reduction, imidazole ring closure aldehydes. Depending on combination solution-phase reagents, strategy allowed simple preparation target trisubstituted derivatives variable positioning nitrogen atom....
