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).

An efficient,economical,and phosgene-free approach was developed for the preparation of l,4-dihydro-2H-3,l-benzoxazin-2-one from 2-aminobenzyl alcohol.In terms of its key features,this reaction uses the cheap and recyclable non-metal selenium as a catalyst instead of the noble metal palladium;carbon monoxide as a carbonylation agent instead of virulent phosgene or one of its derivatives;and oxygen as an oxidant.The selenium-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation reaction of2-aminobenzyl alcohol proceeded efficiently in a single pot in the presence of triethylamine to afford l,4-dihydro-2H-3,l-benzoxazin-2-one in 87%yield.Furthermore,the selenium catalyst was readily recovered and recycled,affording a product yield of 80%after five cycles.

17α,20β-DIHYDROXY-4-PREGNENE-3-ONE SUPPRESSES PLASMA IgM LEVELS IN RAINBOW TROUT (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

The relationships between 17α,20β dihydroxy 4 pregnene 3 one (17α,20β DP) and plasma IgM and total protein levels were investigated in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss .IgM and total protein levels decreased in both sexes of mature rainbow trout when 17α,20β DP levels increased during the spawning season,while the elevated 17α,20β DP suppressed IgM levels and reversibly enhanced total protein concentrations in immature trout.This represents the first report of the effect of 17α,20β DP on fish immunity.These data suggest that the increase of 17α,20β DP in spawning season may be related to infectious skin diseases.

Solvent extraction of palladium （Ⅱ） from hydrochloric acid solution with 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one （OIT）/cyclohexane was studied.
