A straightforward method has been developed to synthesize new anti-inflammatory 1,7-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d] imidazo[1,2-f] pyrimidine 5 from aminocyanopyrazole. These compounds were tested for anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective, analgesic, antioxidant, and anticandidal properties. After studying the structure-activity relationships, the compound 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methyl-1,7-dihydropyrazolo[3,4-d]imidazo[1,2-f]pyrimidine, 5a, was chosen as having the most potent activities. The structures of all novel compounds were determined using IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS.

A Recent Approach: Melatonin Avoids Anatomofunctional Changes Associated to Aging in a Rat Model

Editor JournalGazett March 16, 2021Medicine and Medicalaging, antioxidant, hippocampus, melatonin, Rat Leave a comment

Melatonin is a hormone produced predominantly by the pineal gland and released at night. Its secretion has a circadian pattern, peaking at night. Melatonin is a natural hormone that has a circadian cycle in humans, and its levels rise during the night. Its secretion begins about three months of age and continues to increase during childhood. Melatonin secretion decreases prior to puberty and tends to decline until old age. Melatonin has physiological effects that are mediated by at least four … Continue reading “A Recent Approach: Melatonin Avoids Anatomofunctional Changes Associated to Aging in a Rat Model”

(E)-2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)phenol, (E)-2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl) are five substituted tridentate salicylaldimines. (E)-4-chlorophenol, -4-nitrophenol (E)-2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol, -2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol, -2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol, -2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol, -2-((2-hydroxypheny (E)-4-bromophenol, -4-methoxyphenol 2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino) methyl)-2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino) methyl)-2-((2-hydroxyphenyl)imin The elemental analysis, IR, UV, and NMR were used to classify -6-methoxyphenol (1H and 13C). Furthermore, to supplement the experimental results, theoretical calculations using density functional theory were performed on the optimised structures of the salicylaldimines. The compounds’ antibacterial potentials were assessed using the agar-well diffusion process, and their total antioxidant capacities were calculated using the phosphomolybdenum assay. The antibacterial and … Continue reading “Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Some Tridentate Substituted Salicylaldimines”

The purpose of the study is to understand the effect of chemical or organic fertilizer mechanisms on the physicochemical properties of rice grain, starch pasting properties and antioxidant characteristics. In the same way, the development improvements in the finger millet crop are brought on by some of the indigenous liquid organic manure. For rice, a 2-year study was conducted on common Japonica cultivars, i.e., Kaohsiung No. 139 and Taikeng No.16, which were grown in Taiwan twice a year. The findings … Continue reading “Impact of Organic Farming on Agronomic Crops Productivity, Grain Quality and Antioxidant Activity”

Delphinol®, a Delphinidin-Enriched Maqui Berry Extract, Improves Bone Metabolism through NF-kB Inactivation and Protects against Bone Loss in Osteopenic Mouse Models

Delphinidin, one of the most abundant anthocyanidins found in vegetables and berry fruits, has been reported to inhibit the formation of osteoclasts from RAW264.7 cells and prevent bone loss in osteoporosis mouse models. We investigated whether a delphinidin glycoside-enriched maqui berry extract (MBE, Delphinol®) exhibits beneficial effects on bone metabolism both in vitro and in vivo to further support the bone protective effects of delphinidin. By upregulating bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Osx), osteocalcin … Continue reading “Delphinol®, a Delphinidin-Enriched Maqui Berry Extract, Improves Bone Metabolism through NF-kB Inactivation and Protects against Bone Loss in Osteopenic Mouse Models”
