A domino palladium catalysis: Synthesis of 7-methyl-5 H -dibenzo[ a, c ][7] annulen-5-ones

A domino Pd-catalyzed reaction of 1-(2-bromophenyl)ethanones for the synthesis of novel 7-methyl-5H-dibenzo[a,c][7]annulen-5-ones, a carbon core structure present in colchicinoid natural products, is presented. The reaction is proposed to proceed via intermolecular homobiaryl coupling and intramolecular aldol condensatio

Formation of bi-aryls via a domino palladium catalysis

Synthesis of bi-aryls via a domino Pd-catalyzed reaction of 1-(2-bromophenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-ones/(2-bromophenyl)(cyclohexyl)methanones is presented. The mechanism of the reaction is believed to proceed through a five membered palladacycle that combines with a second molecule of halo-arene to yield the bi-aryls. This method is quite successful to deliver highly sterically crowded bi-aryls with dense functionalities on the aromatic rings

Palladium-catalyzed selective α-arylation of ortho -bromoacetophenones

Synthesis of 1-(2-bromophenyl)-2-phenylethanones via an intermolecular Pd-catalyzed α-arylation of 1-(2-bromophenyl)ethanones is presented. The method relies on selective C-H activation (α-arylation) of relatively more reactive external iodo-arenes as coupling partners without affecting the bromo-substituent. Moreover, the scope and generality of the method has been well studied by employing the reaction with iodo-arenes as coupling partners bearing electron-withdrawing, simple, and electron-donating groups on the aromatic ring

Pathya Apathya of Visha w.s.r. to Prayoga Samucchaya

Agadatantra deals with the study of poison and its treatment and is given utmost importance among the branches of Ayurveda owing to its need for emergency management. Pathya Apathya is very important in the management of Visha Roga to keep the Dhatus in normal state and will not let them vitiated more by the action of Visha Gunas. People are exposed to different toxins, bites and stings and it’s the need of hour to understand properly about the Pathya Apathya to be followed in such conditions. This articles highlights the relevance of Pathya and Apathya in Visha Chikitsa from the malayalam text Prayoga Samucchaya

東アジア共通農業政策の提案 : 自給率・関税率・財政負担・環境負荷

An efficient Pd-catalyzed domino reaction of α,α-dialkyl-(2- bromoaryl)methanols to 6,6-dialkyl-6H-benzo[c]chromenes is presented. Their formation can be explained via a five membered Pd(II)-cycle that efficiently involves a domino homocoupling with the second molecule, β-carbon cleavage, and finally intramolecular Buchwald-Hartwig cyclization. This domino process effectively involves breaking of five σ-bonds (2C-Br, 2O-H, and a C-C) and formation of two new σ-bonds (C-C and C-O). This mechanistic pathway is unprecedented and further illustrates the power of transition metal catalysi

Palladium-mediated highly regio- and stereoselective intermolecular β-arylation on allylic alcohols: Synthesis of functionalized allylic alcohols

An efficient and highly regio- and stereoselctive Pd-catalyzed β-arylation method for the formation of β-aryl allylic alcohols, employing aryl iodides, 1-bromo-2-iodobenzenes, and 2-bromobezaldehydes as coupling partners, is presented. The β-aryl allylic alcohols formed in this Pd-catalyzed transformation is unexpected under conventional Jeffery conditions without the assistance of silver salt. It is proposed that the reaction is substrate controlled, and the selective formation of the product depends on the size or nature of the substituent at the ortho position on the aromatic ring of the allylic alcohol par

Endothelial Dysfunction and Diabetes: Effects on Angiogenesis, Vascular Remodeling, and Wound Healing

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by inappropriate hyperglycemia due to lack of or resistance to insulin. Patients with DM are frequently afflicted with ischemic vascular disease or wound healing defect. It is well known that type 2 DM causes amplification of the atherosclerotic process, endothelial cell dysfunction, glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins, and vascular denervation. These complications ultimately lead to impairment of neovascularization and diabetic wound healing. Therapeutic angiogenesis remains an attractive treatment modality for chronic ischemic disorders including PAD and/or diabetic wound healing. Many experimental studies have identified better approaches for diabetic cardiovascular complications, however, successful clinical translation has been limited possibly due to the narrow therapeutic targets of these agents or the lack of rigorous evaluation of pathology and therapeutic mechanisms in experimental models of disease. This paper discusses the current body of evidence identifying endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis during diabetes

An efficient intermolecular [Pd]-catalyzed C–C and intramolecular [Cu]-catalyzed C–O bonds formation: synthesis of functionalized flavans and benzoxepine

An efficient three-step strategy for the synthesis of functionalized flavans, starting from readily available 2-bromoiodobenzenes and aryl vinyl alcohols, is presented and successfully extended to benzoxepine. An intermolecular [Pd]-catalyzed C–C and an intramolecular [Cu]-catalyzed C–O bond formations have been employed as key transformations of the strategy

Haematological and Biochemical Changes in Response to Stress Induced by the Administration of Amikacin Injection by Autoinjector in Animals

The drugs administered by autoinjectors, may act fast reducing the morbidity and mortality in critical and emergency situations. Amikacin drug cartridge was developed for the autoinjector as an antibacterial drug for critical situations and its tolerability was studied. Rats were given either 3 doses or 7 doses on consecutive days by the autoinjector (intraperitoneal, 63 mg/mL). Blood was withdrawn on the 4th day (3 doses) or the 8th day (7 doses), and haematological and biochemical parameters were studied. All the parameters studied were within the limits and did not show any significant difference when compared with the control. Rabbits were given 3 doses of two concentrations (intramuscular, 63 or 250 mg/mL) and on the 4th day blood was withdrawn for the haematological and biochemical estimations. 63 mg/mL cartridge did not show any significant change while 250 mg/mL cartridge showed significant change in the haematological and biochemical parameters. This study showed that intraperitoneal injection of amikacin by the autoinjector designed for intramuscular injection was well tolerated by the rats. In the rabbits, low dose (63 mg/mL) was tolerated while the higher dose, which is an adult human dose (250 mg/mL) showed significant changes.Defence Science Journal, 2014, 64(2), pp. 99-105. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.64.503
