Design and synthesis of a new coumarin-based 'turn-on' fluorescent probe selective for Cu+2

The novel coumarin-based 'turn-on' fluorescent probe (E)-3-(2,5-dimethoxybenzylideneamino)-7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (MGM) was designed, synthesized, and characterized. This compound shows high selectivity for Cu+2, combined with a large fluorescence enhancement upon binding to Cu2+. Benesi-Hildebrand and Job plots demonstrate that the stoichiometry of the Cu+2 complex formed is 2:1. Preliminary studies employing epifluorescence microscopy demonstrated that Cu+2 could be imaged in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells treated with MGM. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Synthesis, biological evaluation and molecular docking studies of 3-(triazolyl)coumarin derivatives: Effect on inducible nitric oxide synthase

A series of 3-(triazolyl)-coumarins were synthesized and tested as anti-inflammatory agents. It was possible to infer that these compounds do not alter the interaction of LPS with TLR-4 or TLR-2, as the intracellular pathways involved in the TNF-alpha secretion and COX-2 activity were not affected. Nevertheless, the compounds inhibited iNOS-derived NO production, without affecting the eNOS activity. The outcome of the docking studies showed that it pi center dot center dot center dot pi interactions with the heme group are important for the iNOS inhibition, thus making compound 3c a promising lead. Moreover, the efficacy of this compound was visualized by the reduced number of neutrophils in the LPS-inflamed subcutaneous tissue. Together, biological and docking data show that triazolyl-substituted coumarins, that can act on iNOS, are a good scaffold to be explored. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Anticholinesterase activity evaluation of alkaloids and coumarin from stems of Conchocarpus fontanesianus

Conchocarpus fontanesianus (A. St.-Hill.) Kallunki & Pirani, Rutaceae, popularly known as pitaguará, is a native and endemic tree from São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro States, Brazil. Based in the information that anticholinesterasic derivatives could act as new prototypes to treatment of Alzheimer disease, this work describes the fractionation guided by evaluation of the anticholinesterase activity of the ethanolic stems extract from C. fontanesianus. This procedure afforded the alkaloids dictamnine (1), γ-fagarine (2), skimianine (3), and 2-phenyl-1-methyl-4-quinolone (4), as well as the coumarin marmesin (5).

[Coumarin-induced necrotic purpura of the skin -- case report and review of the literature]

We report the case of a 28-year old woman with extensive red-black colored lesions of the skin on the left thigh, which appeared without trauma. The disease arrived during longterm coumarin therapy because of a deep vein thrombosis and an antiphospholipid syndrome. After consideration of the differential diagnoses and due to the typical clinical picture we made the diagnosis of coumarin necrosis. We review the clinical and therapeutic features for this rare complication.

Physical properties at DSDP Holes 77-535 and 77-540

Tables 1 and 2 contain the data for the physical properties of the material from Sites 535 and 540, respectively. These data are summarized for Site 535 in Table 23 and Figure 31 in the site chapter, Sites 535, 539, and 540. Site 540 data summaries can be found in Table 25 and Figure 37 of the site chapter, Sites 535, 539, and 540.

Calcium carbonate, isotopes and Rock-Eval pyrolysis at DSDP Holes 77-535 and 77-540

At DSDP Sites 534 (Central Atlantic) and 535 and 540 (Gulf of Mexico), and in the Vocontian Basin (France), Lower Cretaceous deposits show a very pronounced alternation of limestone and marl. This rhythm characterizes the pelagic background sedimentation and is independent of detritic intercalations related to contour and turbidity currents. Bed-scale cycles, estimated to be 6000-26,000 yr. long, comprise major and minor units. Their biological and mineralogic components, burrowing, heavy isotopes C and O, and some geochemical indicators, vary in close correlation with CaCO3 content. Vertical changes of frequency and asymmetry of the cycles are connected with fluctuations of the sedimentation rate. Plots of cycle thickness ("cyclograms") permit detailed correlations of the three areas and improve the stratigraphic subdivision of Neocomian deposits at the DSDP sites. Small-scale alternations, only observed in DSDP cores, comprise centimetric to millimetric banding and millimetric to micrometric lamination, here interpreted as varvelike alternations between laminae that are rich in calcareous plankton and others rich in clay. The laminations are estimated to correspond to cycles approximately 1,3, and 13 yr. in duration. The cyclic patterns appear to be governed by an interplay of continental and oceanic processes. Oceanic controls express themselves in variations of the biogenic carbonate flux, which depends on variations of such elements as temperature, oxygenation, salinity, and nutrient content. Continental controls modulate the influxes of terrigenous material, organic matter, and nutrients derived from cyclic erosion on land. Among the possible causes of cyclic sedimentation, episodic carbonate dissolution has been ruled out in favor of climatic fluctuations with a large range of periods. Such fluctuations are consistent with the great geographic extension shown by alternation controls and with the continuous spectrum of scales that characterizes limestone-marl cycles. The climatic variations induced by the Earth's orbital parameters (Milankovitch cycles) could be connected to bed-interbed alternations.
