A transition-metal and hydride-free reductive aldol reaction has been developed for the synthesis of biologically active 3,3´-disubstituted oxindoles from isatin-derivatives using rongalite. In this protocol, rongalite plays the dual role...

ABSTRACTTau is an axonal protein known to form abnormal aggregates and is the biomarker of Alzheimer’s disease. Metal-based therapeutics for inhibition of Tau aggregation is limited and rarely reported in the contemporary science. Here, the first example is reported of a rationally designed molecular cobalt(II)-complexes for effective inhibition of Tau and disaggregation of preformed Tau fibrils. The mechanistic studies revealed that the prevention of Tau aggregation by CBMCs is concentration-dependent and Tau seldom exhibits conformational changes. Interestingly, CBMCs play a dual role by causing disassembly of preformed aggregates as well as complete Tau inhibition. We believe that this unprecedented finding by the newly developed molecular complexes has a potential to lead to developing innovative metal-based therapeutics for Alzheimer’s disease.

A novel and practical Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed oxidative synthesis of α-ketoamides from aryl methyl ketones and N-bromobutanimide (NBS) using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as dimethylamine (HNMe2) source and solvent has been developed under mild conditions. DMF was used as a HNMe2 source and can be easily converted into HNMe2 by acid hydrolysis. The mechanistic studies indicate that Cu(OAc)2 plays a dual role in providing both catalyst and oxidant.

Chronic exposure to nitrogen dioxide in rodents has shown that injury reaches a maximum after 24 hours, and a reparative adaptive phase follows (1). Damage occurring in the terminal bronchioles and proximal portions of the alveolar ducts in rats has been extensively studied by both light and electron microscopy (1).The present study was undertaken to compare the response of lung tissue to intermittent exposure to 10 ppm of nitrogen dioxide gas for 4 hours per week, while the hamsters were on a vitamin A deficient diet. Ultrastructural observations made from lung tissues obtained from non-gas exposed, hypovitaminosis A animals and gas exposed animals fed a regular commercially prepared diet have been compared to elucidate the specific effect of vitamin A on nitrogen dioxide gas exposure. The interaction occurring between vitamin A and nitrogen dioxide gas has not previously been investigated.
