Synthesis, structure, and biological activity of [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives. 8*. α-Pyridyl([2.2]paracyclophan-4-yl)-phenylmethanol: Structure of the complex with Cu(II) chloride and intramolecular cyclization

The reaction of 2-benzoylpyridine with 4-([2.2]paracyclophanyl)lithium or of 4-benzoyl[2.2]paracyclophane with 2-pyridyllithium gave α-pyridyl([2.2] paracyclophan-4- yl)phenylmethanol. X-ray analysis has been used to study the molecular and crystalline structure of its complex with Cu(II) chloride. It was found that this triaryl-substituted methanol undergoes an intramolecular cyclocondensation in refluxing formic acid and involves the pyridine ring and the cyclophane substituent. Heterocyclization at the ortho-position of the latter gives 10-phenyl[2.2]paracyclophano[4,5-b]indolizine and cyclization at the pseudo-gem-position the 1-phenyl-1,1a-dehydro-6-aza[3.2.2](1,2,5)-6H- cyclophano[1,2-a]pyridine. The compounds prepared have luminescent properties. ©2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc

Composition of biologically active compounds, biological and pharmacological activity of the three-part beggarticks (Bidens tripartita L.)

This reviewcontains the analysis data on phytochemical composition ofthree-part beggarticks(Bidens tripartitaL.) and full biological activity spectrum of themedicinalraw material. Flavonoids, essentialoils, phenolcarboxylic acids, polysaccharides, aromatic hydroxy aldehydes, coumarins, tannins, and polyacetylenes are biologically active substances (BAS)ofB. tripartita.Various BAS cause multiple pharmacological and biological effects of theplant. Extracts possess antimycotic, antiinflammatory, antithrombotic, antiradical, antioxidant, antibacterial, antidiabetic, antiulcerogenic, and antitumor effects. The extracts are also ofanalgesic, antipyretic, antiallergic, hepatoprotective, immunostimulating,and hypotensive pharmacological effects. There is also a possibility to inhibit the main enzymes as well as to protect DNA. The B. tripartita medicinal raw material is of great importance for development and making of new drugs
