E-2-chloro-8-methyl-3-[(4'-methoxy-1'-indanoyl)-2'-methyliden]-quinoline (IQ) is a new quinoline derivative which has been reported as a haemoglobin degradation and ß-haematin formation inhibitor. The haemoglobin proteolysis induced by Plasmodium parasites represents a source of amino acids and haeme, leading to oxidative stress in infected cells. In this paper, we evaluated oxidative status in Plasmodium berghei-infected erythrocytes in the presence of IQ using chloroquine (CQ) as a control. After haemolysis, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione cycle and NADPH + H+-dependent dehydrogenase enzyme activities were investigated. Lipid peroxidation was also assayed to evaluate lipid damage. The results showed that the overall activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were significantly diminished by IQ (by 53.5% and 100%, respectively). Glutathione peroxidase activity was also lowered (31%) in conjunction with a higher GSSG/GSH ratio. As a compensatory response, overall SOD activity increased and lipid peroxidation decreased, protecting the cells from the haemolysis caused by the infection. CQ shared most of the effects showed by IQ; however it was able to inhibit the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase and glutathione-S-transferase. In conclusion, IQ could be a candidate for further studies in malaria research interfering with the oxidative status in Plasmodium berghei infection.

Este trabalho contempla a síntese e caracterização espectroscópica de dois compostos carbonílicos heterometálicos do tipo [Fe(CO)3(m-CS2)(PPh3 )(CuX)], X = Cl, ClO4. Os dados provenientes da espectroscopia no infravermelho e de RMN de 31P{¹H} foram conclusivos quanto à proposição da geometria octaédrica distorcida ao redor do átomo de ferro (0), como também sobre a natureza bimetálica de ambos compostos. Estes dados esclareceram o modo de coordenação dos grupos carbonilos, da trifenilfosfina (PPh3), bem como a disposição do ligante dissulfeto de carbono em ponte entre os átomos de Fe (0) e Cu (I).

gamma-Hydroxy-alpha-diazo-beta-ketoesters are key intermediates in the chemistry of penicilin-based antibiotics and natural products. The method developed here for the synthesis of ethyl 2-diazo-4-hydroxy-3-oxo-butanoate 17 (in two steps from the diazo mercurial 2) compares very favorably with those reported in the literature for similar compounds. The Rh2(OAc)4-mediated intramolecular OH-insertion reaction of the diazo hydroxy ester 17 was investigated, furnishing the oxetan-3-one-2-carboxilate 18 in good yield. When the diazo ester lacks a free hydroxyl group as in the case of the phenoxy diazo ester 11 an intramolecular CH-insertion takes place, affording the 2H-chromene 20 in almost quantitative yield. The behavior of other functionalized diazo esters towards Rh2(OAc)4 was also investigated.

The [3+4] cycloaddition between furan and the oxyallyl cation generated from 1-bromo-1-phenylpropan-2-one (4), resulted in the formation of 2-phenyl-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-3-one (5) in 30% yield. This compound was further converted into 2-phenyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene (13) in 35.4% yield. The selective effect of compound (13) and its isomer 3-phenyl-6,7-exo-isopropylidenedioxi-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct -2-ene (1a) on the radicle growth of Sorghum bicolor L. (sorghum) and Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber) were evaluated. For both plants, compound 13 showed to be more potent than its isomer 1a.

We report an alternative method for the synthesis of 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-acetonitrile using 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-oxopropanenitrile and carbon disulfide as starting materials. The methanolysis of the intermediate 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-3-oxopropanenitrile occurs via three possible intermediates, leading to the formation of the product at a 75% overall yield. Molecular modeling simulation of the reaction pathway using B3LYP 6-311G++(2df,2p) justified the proposed reaction mechanism.

During an epidemiological survey of acute respiratory infection in Rio de Janeiro, among 208 adenovirus isolates, we found two strains that we were not able, by a standard neutralization procedure, to distinguish between type 3 or 7. However, DNA restriction pattern for the two strains with different enzymes were analyzed and showed a typical Ad3h profile. Using a cross-neutralization test in which both Ad3p and Ad7p antisera were used in different concentration against 100 TCID50 of each adenovirus standard and both isolates, we were able to confirm that the two isolates belong to serotype 3. An hemagglutination inhibition test also corroborated the identification of both strains as adenovirus type 3. Comparing Ad3h and Ad3p genome, we observed 16 different restriction enzyme sites, three of which were located in genomic regions encoding polypeptides involved in neutralization sites

The in vitro activity of four 2-nitropropene derivatives, 1-(3-benzothienyl)-2-nitropropene (N1), 1-(3-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N2), 1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N3) and 1-(4-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N4), were tested against cultures of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Cytotoxicity studies were performed using Vero cells. The blood trypomastigotes, amastigotes and epimastigotes showed differential degrees of sensitivity towards the four tested compounds; the highest activity against the epimastigotes and blood tripomastigotes was exhibited by N1, followed by N3, N4 and finally N2. In contrast, whereas the compounds N1, N3 and N4 exerted similar magnitudes of activity against amastigotes, N2 was found to be a much less potent compound. According to our results, the compound N1 had the highest level of activity (IC50: 0.6 μM) against epimastigotes.

Além dos baixos teores normalmente encontrados na fração argila dos solos sob clima tropical e subtropical, o tamanho reduzido e a baixa cristalinidade dos minerais 2:1 secundários dificultam sua identificação por difratometria de raios X (DRX). Este estudo objetivou avaliar métodos químicos e físico de concentração de minerais 2:1 secundários na fração argila para facilitar a identificação por DRX, incluindo a natureza dos minerais quanto ao local de formação de cargas permanentes (lâmina tetraedral ou octaedral). Coletaram-se amostras de dois Cambissolos originados de argilito da Formação Guabirotuba na Bacia Sedimentar de Curitiba (PR): horizontes A, Bi, C1 (1,2 a 1,5 m), C2 (2,2 a 2,5 m), C3 (3,2 a 3,5 m) e C4 (4,2 a 4,5 m). Após remoção da matéria orgânica e dispersão da terra fina seca ao ar, a fração argila foi submetida a tratamentos sequenciais com ditionito-citratobicarbonato (DCB) (amostra desferrificada - remoção de óxidos de Fe pedogenéticos) e com soluções de NaOH a quente, em diferentes concentrações (0,5; 1,0; 1,5; 2,5; 3,5; 4,0; 4,5 e 5,0 mol L-1), para extração de gibbsita e caulinita, em diferentes graus. A fração argila desferrificada também foi submetida à separação física (centrifugação) em argila grossa (0,2 a 2 m) e fina (< 0,2 m). Foram realizados tratamentos auxiliares para identificar as espécies minerais 2:1 na fração argila: saturação com Mg e solvatação com etilenoglicol; saturação com K e secagem ao ar e aquecimento a 550 ºC; e saturação com Li (teste de Greene-Kelly). Os resultados mostraram que o método clássico de extração da caulinita, com solução de NaOH 5,0 mol L-1 a quente, não deve ser aplicado para concentração de minerais 2:1 secundários, pois também removeu grande parte desses minerais. O tratamento com DCB e com solução de NaOH 3,5 mol L-1 possibilitou, com maior eficiência, a concentração e identificação de minerais 2:1 secundários por DRX nas amostras dos horizontes A, Bi e C1. Nas amostras tomadas em maiores profundidades (horizontes C2, C3 e C4), devido aos maiores teores desses minerais e ao menor tamanho dos cristais (argila fina), a solução menos concentrada de NaOH (1,5 mol L-1) foi mais eficiente para esse propósito. No horizonte A, os minerais 2:1 concentraram-se na fração argila grossa, compatível com o maior grau de intemperismo desse horizonte. Identificou-se esmectita com hidroxi-Al entrecamadas nos horizontes mais superficiais (A e Bi) e esmectita nas amostras do horizonte C. A saturação com Li permitiu a identificação das esmectitas dioctaedrais montmorilonita e beidelita/nontronita. As adaptações ao métodopadrão (NaOH 5 mol L-1) favoreceram a concentração de minerais 2:1 secundários na fração argila dos solos; a concentração da solução de NaOH deve ser maior para horizontes com menor teor do mineral.

The present investigation reports the isolation of aeroplysinin-2, 2-(3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-N,N,N-trimethyletanamonium, 7,9-dibromo-10-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-oxa-2-azaspiro[4.5]deca-2,6,8-trien-3-carboxylic acid and its methyl ester, 11-oxoaerothionin, aerothionin, 11-keto-12-hydroxyaerothionin, 11-ketofistularin-3 and fistularin-3 from Aplysina fistularis, as well as of furodysinin lactone and 9α,11α-epoxicholest-7-en-3β,5α,6α,10-tetrol-6-acetate from Dysidea sp. Although the extracts of both sponges displayed antituberculosis activity, only 11-ketofistularin-3 isolated from A. fistularis displayed antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H34Rv, with MIC at 16 μg/mL and SI of 40, a result that reinforce that fistularin-3 derivatives are interesting leads for the development of antituberculosis drugs.

Physico-chemical properties of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates of Co(II), Cu(II), La(III) and Nd(III) were studied. The complexes were obtained as hydrated or anhydrous polycrystalline solids with a metal ion-ligand mole ratio of 1 : 2 for divalent ions and of 1 : 3 in the case of trivalent cations. Their colours depend on the kind of central ion: pink for Co(II) complex, blue for Cu(II), white for La(III) and violet for Nd(III) complexes. The carboxylate groups in these compounds are monodentate, bidentate bridging or chelating and tridentate ligands. Their thermal decomposition was studied in the range of 293-1173 K. Hydrated complexes lose crystallization water molecules in one step and form anhydrous compounds, that next decompose to the oxides of respective metals. 3,4 - Dimethoxybenzoates of Co(II) is directly decomposed to the appropriate oxide and that of Nd(III) is also ultimately decomposed to its oxide but with the intemediate formation of Nd2O2CO3.. The magnetic moment values of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates determined in the range of 76-303 K change from 4.22 µB to 4.61 µB for Co(II) complex , from 0.49 µB to 1.17 µB for Cu(II) complex , and from 2.69 µB to 3.15 µB for Nd(III) complex.

Dois experimentos de laboratório foram conduzidos na Universidade de South Dakota, Vemillion, SD, EUA, em 1990, para determinar os efeitos do ácido hidroxâmico benzoxazolinona (BOA), do herbicida atrazine e de suas misturas sobre o crescimento e teor de clorofila de lentilha dágua (Lemna minor). BOA na concentração de 0,5 mM foi aplicado em combinação com atrazine a 0,001 e 0,005 mM em caixas plásticas com 24 células de 2,5 ml, contendo 3 frondes de lentilha dágua em solução nutritiva. BOA e atrazine, aplicados isoladamente, inibiram o número, o peso sêco e o teor de clorofila. Atrazine apresentou uma maior ação inibitória que BOA. A combinação BOA (0,05 mM) e atrazine à 0,001 mM foi antagonística. A inibição induzida pelo atrazine a 0,001 mM foi, em parte, neutralizada, porém, com a dose 0,005 mM a sua ação inibitória não foi alterada.
