Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of a Novel Cobalt(II) Complex Based on 3-Methyl-1-Phenyl-4-(2-Thienoyl)-Pyrazol-5-One

New cobalt(II) complex, [Co(O2C15H11N2S)2(OH2)2]∙2H2O (1∙2H2O), has been synthesized upon reaction of cobalt chloride hexahydrate (Co(Cl)2∙6H2O) with 3-methyl-1-Phenyl-4-(2-thienoyl)-pyrazol-5-one (referred as HL) in ethanol at room temperature. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectroscopic methods, and microelemental analyses were used to characterize 1∙2H2O. Compound 1∙2H2O crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with a Pbca space group and with the cobalt atom being pseudo-octahedral coordinated. The broth microdilution technique was used to screen the free ligand (HL) and the complex (1∙2H2O) for antimicrobial activities. HL has a low activity (MIC > 100 μg/mL) on all microorganisms, whereas compound 1∙2H2O displayed moderate activity (10 ∙2H2O exhibited bactericidal and fungicidal activity respectively on all the bacteria and yeasts tested. These findings reveal that the antimicrobial activity of HL was enhanced upon coordination to Co(II) ion against all microorganisms (bacteria and fungus).

Improved Studies on the Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of 2,2-Dimethyl-5-nitro-5-nitroso-1,3-dioxane

The synthetic process for 2,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-5-nitroso-1,3-dioxane（DMNNDO） was improved by using tri（hydroxymethyl）nitromethane and acetone as starting materials through a ＂one-pot＂ method combined with alkaline hydrolysis and nitrosation reactions. The yield of DMNNDO was increased from 37% to 45%. The structure of DMNNDO was characterized by IR,^1H NMR,^13 C NMR,and elemental analysis. Also the thermal decomposition of DMNNDO was studied by using DSC and TG-DTG to find that there are primarily two exothermic decomposition processes between 90 and 300 oC. The crystal structure of DMNNDO was studied by X-ray single-crystal diffraction for the first time. The molecular structure exists as a dimeric form due to the presence of nitroso group.

Effects of Two Anti-TNF-α Compounds: Etanercept and 5-Ethyl-1-Phenyl-2-(1H)-Pyridone on Secreted and Cell-Associated TNF-α <i>In Vitro</i>

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a potent inflammatory cytokine and its exaggerated production has been implicated in acute, chronic and autoimmune inflammatory diseases. Proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous anti-TNF-α agents have been developed to reduce its circulating levels either by neutralizing, binding or inhibiting the de novo synthesis with the aim of achieving desirable therapeutic effects. In the present study, we compared the effects of a protein-based anti-TNF-α drug, etanercept, and a non-protein-based anti-TNF-α small molecule, 5-ethyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H) pyridone (5-EPP), on the LPS-stimulated secretion of TNF-α in the medium and TNF-α associated with the THP-1 cells in vitro. Both drugs had marked concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on the LPS-stimulated secretion of TNF-α. However, their effects on the LPS-stimulated cell-associated TNF-α were diametrically opposed to each other. For instance, etanercept further increased the level by up to 12-fold, whereas 5-EPP inhibited the level in a dose dependent manner. In addition, 5-EPP caused a significant reduction in the elevated level of cell associated TNF-α caused by LPS + etanercept. The differences in the levels of cell-associated TNF-α as reported in the present study may partly explain the adverse effects of some protein-based anti-TNF-α drugs including etanercept as opposed to a non-protein-based anti-TNF-α drug such as pirfenidone, a structural analogue of 5-EPP, for treatment of some TNF-α mediated diseases. It was concluded from the findings of this study that drugs which elevate the levels of cell associated-TNF-α will potentially have more adverse events even after reducing the secreted levels of TNF-α than the drugs which reduce both the secreted and cell-associated TNF-α levels.

Aspects on the Mechanism of the 1-Phenyl-1<i>H</i>-pyrazolo[3,4-<i>b</i>]quinoxaline Formation

Condensation of D-glucose, o-phenylenediamine and N,N-benzylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride (NNBPHH) in a one-pot reaction, or condensation of 2-(D-arabino-tetritol-1-yl) quinoxaline and NNBPHH, gave 3-(D-erythro-glycerol-1- yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline. The structure of the latter was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy and by synthesis using phenylhydrazine hydrochloride instead of NNBPHH. Condensation of D-glucose and 4,5-dichloro-o-phenylenediamine gave 6,7-dichloro-2-(D-arabino-tetritol-1-yl)quinoxaline, which upon condensation with NNBPHH gave the corresponding 6,7-dichloro-3-(D-erythro-glycerol-1-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoxaline. The structure and mechanism of formation of these compounds are discussed.

Syntheses and Crystal Structure of Six-coordinated Diorgnotin Complexes with 2,5-Dimercapto-4-phenyl-1,3,4-thiodiazole

The reactions of diorganotin dichloride [Ph2SnCl2, (PhCH2)2-SnCl2 or (n-Bu)2SnCl2] with potassium salt of 2,5-dimercapto-4-phenyl-1, 3,4-thiodiazole gave complexes R2Sn (S3N2C8H5)2 (4: R = Ph; 5: R = PhCH2 and 6: R = n-Bu), respectively. Characterizations were carried out for all complexes by IR, 'H NMR spectra and X-ray crystallography analysis. Including the Sn…N interaction, the three complexes all have six-coordinated distorted octahedral geometry. Based on the requence of stereo-chemical constraint sequence, phenyl≈benzyl > n-butyl, the less the effect of the stereochemical constraint of R groups, the shorter the Sn…N length. In complexes 5 and 6, there exist S…S weak intra-molecular interactions, through which the complexes are dissociated into loose 2D polymers. All three complexes show antitumour activity in bioactivity measurements.

Determination of ergocalciferol in human plasma after Diels-Alder derivatization by LC-MS/MS and its application to a bioequivalence study

An accurate, sensitive and selective method is developed for determination of ergoealeiferol （vitamin D2） in human plasma using LC-MS/MS. After liquid-liquid extraction with n-hexane, ergoealeiferol was derivatized by reacting with 4-phenyl-l,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione （PTAD）, a strong dienophile based on Diels-Alder reaction. Ergocalciferol and its deuterated internal standard, ergocalciferol-d6, were analyzed on X Select CSH Cls （100 mmx4.6 mm, 2.5 lam） column using acetonitrile and 0.1% （v/v） formic acid in water containing 0.14% methylamine within 6.0 min under gradient elution mode. Tandem mass spectrometry in positive ionization mode was used to quantify ergocalciferol by multiple reaction monitoring （MRM）. Entire data processing was done using Watson LIMSTM software which provided excellent data integrity and high throughput with improved operational efficiency. The major advantage of this method includes higher sensitivity （0.10 ng/mL）, superior extraction efficiency （〉83%） and small sample volume （100 ~tL） for processing. The method was linear in the concentration range of 0.10-100 ng/mL for ergoealciferol. The intra-batch and inter-batch accuracy and precision （% CV） values varied from 97.3% to 109.0% and 1.01% to 5.16%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to support a bioequivalence study of 1.25 mg ergoealciferol capsules in 12 healthy subjects.
