In vitro inhibition of cytosolic carbonic anhydrases I and II by some new dihydroxycoumarin compounds

A new series of 6, 7-dihydroxy-3-(methylphenyl) chromenones, including three new derivatives, i.e. 6,7-dihydroxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (OPC); 6,7-dihydroxy-3-(3-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (MPC); 6,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (PPC) and one previously described, namely 6,7-dihydroxy-3-phenyl-2H-chromen-2-one (DPC), were synthesized. These compounds were investigated as inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase I (hCA-I) and human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA-II) which had been purified from human erythrocytes on an affinity gel comprised of L-tyrosine-sulfonamide-Sepharose 4B.

In vitro inhibition effects of some coumarin derivatives on human erythrocytes glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities

Abstract Inhibitory effects of some synthesized dihydroxycoumarin compounds on purified G6PD were investigated. For this purpose, initially human erythrocyte G6PD was purified 7069-fold in a yield of 33.6% by using ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography which includes 2′,5′-ADP Sepharose 4B. The purified enzyme showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Enzyme activity was determined spectrophotometrically according to Beutler method at 340 nm. 6,7-Dihydroxy-3-(2-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (OPC), 6,7-dihydroxy-3-(3-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (MPC) and 6,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2H-chromen-2-one (PPC) were used as dihydroxycoumarin compounds. This study has demonstrated that G6PD activity is very highly sensitive to study coumarin derivatives.

Synthesis and Extraction Studies of Some New Anionic Dye Extractors

A new series of dodecyl derivatives of non‐cyclic and cyclic ethers, as the extractors have been synthesized by imination, reduction of imines and cyclization steps, and the structures were identified by FT‐IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR and mass spectroscopy. The extractions abilities of these ligands with some anionic dyes [4‐(2‐pyridylazo)‐resorcinol monosodium salt monohydrate (NaPAR), and sodium picrate (NaPIC), and potassium picrate (KPIC)] were determined by UV‐VIS spectrophotometry using liquid‐liquid extraction method. In this study, all of the synthesized ligands were generally showed higher extraction ability for Na‐dyes.

Crystal structure of bis(bis{(E)-[(6-{(E)-[(4-fluorobenzyl)imino]methyl}pyridin-2-yl)methylidene](4-fluorophenyl)amine}nickel(II)) tetra-bromide nona-hydrate.

In the title complex, [Ni(C21H17F2N3)2]2Br4·9H2O, there are two independent metal complexes per asymmetric unit and two ligands per metal complex. The structural features (bond lengths and angles) of the two complexes are almost identical. In each complex, the nickel(II) ion is coordinated in an octahedral environment by six N atoms from two chelating (9E)-N-({6-[(E)-(4-fluorobenzylimino)methyl]pyridin-2-yl}methylene)(4-fluorophenyl)methanammine ligands. The Ni—N bond lengths range from 1.973 (2) to 2.169 (2) Å, while the chelate N—Ni—N angles range from 77.01 (10) to 105.89 (9)°. Additionally, there are four bromide anions and nine solvent water molecules within the asymmetric unit. The water molecules form a hydrogen-bonded network, displaying C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br, O—H⋯Br, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯F interactions into layers parallel to (111). In each unit, the fluorophenyl rings of one ligand are stacked with the central ring of the other ligand via π–π interactions, with the closest centroid-to-plane distances being 3.445 (5), 3.636 (5), 3.397 (5) and 3.396 (5) Å.
