Synthesis, structure elucidation and antitumour activity of N-substituted amides of 3-(3-ethylthio-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propenoic acid.

New N-substituted amides of 3-(3-ethylthio-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)propenoic acid (2-12) were designed and prepared by the condensation reaction of exo-S-ethyl-7-oxabicyclo-[2.2.1]-hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarbonyl isothiosemicarbazide (1) with primary amines. The chemical structure of all compounds was confirmed by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR spectra, the X-ray crystallography (for compounds 8, 11, 12) and elemental analysis. Moreover, compounds 9-11 were screened for their anticancer activity. Compounds 9 (in concentrations of 0.32 mM and 0.16 mM), 10 (in concentrations of 0.28 mM and 0.14 mM), and 11 (in concentrations of 0.35 mM and 0.17 mM) were found to be evidently effective in vitro against lung cell line (IC50). The distinctly marked antiproliferative effect of compounds 9 and 10 in breast carcinoma cells in vitro was ascertained. Moreover, the lowest cytotoxicity of compound 9 in concentrations of 0.16 mM and 0.03 mM against the normal skin fibroblast cell line and breast carcinoma cell in vitro after 24- and 48-h periods of incubation was noticed in this study.

Spectroscopic (FT-IR, FT-Raman, 1H, 13C NMR, UV/VIS), thermogravimetric and antimicrobial studies of Ca(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of ferulic acid.

The molecular structure of Mn(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Ca(II) ferulates (4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamates) was studied. The selected metal ferulates were synthesized.

Thermal analysis of manganese(II) complexes with glycine

The thermal decomposition behaviour of the manganese(II) complexes with glycine: Mn(gly)Cl2(H2O)2, Mn(gly)2Cl2, Mn(gly)Br2(H2O)2, Mn(gly)2Br2(H2O)2 was investigated by means of TG-DTG-DTA, Hi-Res-TA and DSC techniques. The evolved gas analysis was carried out by means of the coupled TG-FTIR system. Heating of the complexes results first in the release of water molecules. Next, the multi-stage decomposition process with degradation of glycine ligand occurs. Water, carbon dioxide and ammonia were detected in the gaseous products of the complexes decomposition. The temperature of NH3 evolution from the complexes is higher than from free glycine. The final residue in the air atmosphere is Mn2O3 which transforms into Mn3O4 at 930°C. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the complexes decompose into MnO.

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF AMMONIUM AND SODIUM 2-AMINO-3,5-DICHLOROBENZOATES

Abstract The crystal structures of ammonium and sodium 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoates were determined by the X-ray diffraction method. The ammonium salt crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P21/c) with a = 13.941(3), b = 9.128(3), c = 7.349(2) Å, β = 90.80(3)° and Z = 4. The structure consists of an ammonium cation hydrogen bonded to a carboxylate oxygen of the 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoate anion. The sodium salt of 2-amino-3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid crystallizes in the triclinic system (space group P 1) with a = 8.033(2), 6 = 8.944(2), c = 17.350(3) Å, α = 76.72(3)°, β = 79.69(3)°, γ = 72.54(3)° and Z = 4. The compound is a polymer in which the sodium ions are coordinated by carboxylate oxygen atoms of the organic ligand and water molecules in an octahedral arrangement. IR spectra of the salts are discussed.

Synthesis And Characterization Of Complexes Of Rare Earth Elements With 1,1-Cyclobutanedicarboxylic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and lanthanide with 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid of the formula: Ln2(C6H6O4)3⋅nH2O, where n=4 for Y, Pr–Tm, n=5 for Yb,Lu, n=7 for La, Ce have been studied. The solid complexes have colours typical of Ln3+ ions. During heating in air they lose water molecules and then decompose to the oxides, directly (Y, Ce, Tm, Yb) or with intermediate formation. The thermal decomposition is connected with released water (313–353 K), carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons(538–598 K) and carbon oxide for Ho and Lu. When heated in nitrogen they dehydrate to form anhydrous salt and next decompose to the mixture of carbon and oxides of respective metals. IR spectra of the prepared complexes suggest that the carboxylate groups are bidentate chelating.

THERMAL ANALYSIS OF MANGANESE(II) COMPLEXES WITH L-PROLINE AND L-HYDROXYPROLINE

The thermal decomposition reactions of manganese(II) complexes with L-proline and 4-hydroxy- L-proline were studied. The Mn(II) proline complex loses the water molecule at 40–95°C and then, heated above 250°C it decomposes in several steps to manganese oxide. The most appropriate kinetic equations for dehydration process are the geometrical R2 or R3 ones. They give a value of activation energy, E of about 95 kJmol–1. The Mn(II) hydroxyproline complex loses the water molecules in two stages (70–110 and 110–230°C) and next it decomposes to manganese oxide in several steps. The R3 or D3 (three-dimensional diffusion) models are the most appropriate for the first stage of dehydration (E is about 155 kJ mol–1). The second step of dehydration is limited by D3 mechanism (E=52 kJ mol–1).
