Two New Phenolic Glycosides from Viscum articulatum

Two new phenolic glycosides, 1-O-benzyl-[5-O-benzoyl-beta-D-apiofuranosyl (1. 2)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), and 4'-hydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxyflavan-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2), together with nine known flavanones 3 -11, have been isolated from the dried

Secondary structural analysis of the mRNA regions encoding the hemagglutinin cleavage site basic amino acids of the avian influenza virus H5N1 subtype samples

Here we report the codon bias and the mRNA secondary structural features of the hemagglutinin (HA) cleavage site basic amino acid regions of avian influenza virus H5N1 subtypes. We have developed a dynamic extended folding strategy to predict RNA secondar

Dichotomains A and B: Two new highly oxygenated phenolic derivatives from Dicranopteris dichotoma

Dichotomains A (1) and B (2), two new highly oxygenated phenolic derivatives that feature a spirodilactone moiety in their structures, were isolated from the fronds of Dicranopteris dichotoma. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of NMR and MS sp

Efficient synthesis and utilization of phenyl-substituted heteroaromatic carboxylic acids as aryl diketo acid isosteres in the design of novel HIV-1 integrase inhibitors

Three new types of aryl diketo acid (ADK) isosteres were designed by conversion of the biologically labile 1,3-diketo unit into heteroaromatic motif such as isoxazole, isothiazole, or 1H-pyrazole to improve the physicochemical property of ADK-based HIV-1
