An analysis of the antibacterial activities 15 terpenoids, eleven which werepreviously described by us and four were extracted from literature, suggested twostructural requirements for activity these related compounds: a hydrophobic moiety,consisting substituted decalin skeleton, hydrophilic region possessing onehydrogen-bond-donor group. These structural are responsible an optimalinsertion compounds into cell membranes, as resultsof docking some model phospholipid bilayer.
We have been able to "tune" the electrocatalytic activity of iron phthalocyanine (FePc) and hexadodecachlorophthalocyanine (16(Cl)FePc) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by manipulating "pull effect" pyridinium molecules axially bounded complexes (FePcs). These axial ligands play both role molecular anchors also wires. The affect reactivity Fe metal center in phthalocyanine. originates from positive charge located on core. explored influence core positions (Up or Down), two structural...
We have prepared self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) and 1-(4-mercaptophenyl)-2,6-diphenyl-4-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium tetrafluoroborate (MDPP) functionalized with iron phthalocyanine (FePc) copper (CuPc) adsorbed on gold (111) electrodes. The catalytic activity these SAMs/MPc was examined for the reduction O2 in aqueous solutions compared to that bare coated directly preadsorbed MPc molecules. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies confirm functionalization 4-ATP...
Abstract An attempt has been made in order to unify the three types of solvatochromisms (negative, positive and inverted) phenolate betaine dyes by a working model which describes them as particular cases general behavior. The model, based on calculation (gas phase) chemical hardness donor acceptor fragments, was applied 56 examples from literature. As result, investigated compounds were grouped according sum hardnesses their (non‐interacting) this being larger for negative, intermediate an...
A series of chalcones and aurones were synthesized evaluated in vitro as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOi). Our results show that aurones, which had not been previously reported MAOi, are MAO-B inhibitors. Thus, both families inhibited selectively the B isoform MAO micromolar range, offering novel scaffolds for design new potent The main structural requirements their activity characterized with aid 3D-QSAR docking studies.
A re-examination of cuticular components Heliotropium filifolium allowed the isolation four new compounds: 3'-hydroxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzo-furan-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylic acid(2), methyl 3'-acetyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (3), 3'-isopentanoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate (4) and 3'-benzoyloxy-2',2',6'-trimethyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1'-cyclohexane]-5-carboxylate...
Six dyes with N,N-dimethylaminophenyl and 4-nitrophenyl or 2,4-dinitrophenyl groups in their molecular structures were prepared characterized. These compounds have different conjugated bridges (CC, CN, NN) connecting the electron-donor electron-acceptor groups. All are solvatochromic, reverse solvatochromism occurring. The solvatochromic band observed each spectrum for is due to a π ➔ π* transition, of an intramolecular charge transfer nature, which occurs from group molecules, reinforced...
The solvatochromic behaviour of merocyanines can be interpreted and predicted by consideration their molecular structure with the aid a model that regards all kinds solvatochromism as particular cases generalized reverse behaviour. This reversal is shown to consistent cyanine-limit model, another independent approach relates merocyanine its Both models are validated experimental data from literature 21 variable structure.

Ultrasound irradiation promoted the cyclocondensation of β-keto esters and amidines in good to excellent yields form sixteen highly substituted 4-pyrimidinols. Tosylation these compounds, another ultrasound-promoted conversion, formed 4-pyrimidyl tosylates high yields. The use developed protocol as an alternative route 4-arylpyrimidines was illustrated with three examples Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling prepared phenylboronic acid.
The ability of polarizable continuum models (PCM) to simulate nonspecific solvent effects (dipolarity and polarizability) was evaluated by calculating the transition energies 1,1,10,10-tetrabutyldecanonaene (ttbp9) 2-

Seven new 2,4,6-triarylpyrimidines were synthesized and their solvatofluorochromism investigated in 12 solvents an aqueous micellar solution of reduced Triton X-100. A multiparametric analysis emission band showed that the solvent dipolarity basicity mainly responsible for solvatofluorochromism, which arose from internal charge-transfer a donor fragment to pyrimidine acceptor, confirmed by theoretical calculations. In system, quenching fluorescence addition derivatives...
The solvatochromic shifts of the two isomeric title betaines 4 and 5, built up from unsubstituted pyridinio acceptor phenoxide donor fragments, were recorded in twelve solvents data compared with results semi-empirical (AM1) ab initio (HF/6-311G B3LYP/6-311G) calculations.
