studies using 1H NMR support instantaneous hydrolysis of the native complexes to form monoaquated species in a solution of 3:7 (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 and 20 mM phosphate buffer (pH* 7.4, containing 4 mM NaCl). The monoaquated complexes are stable for at least up to 24 h. The complexes display excellent in vitro antiproliferativeactivity (IC50 ca. 1–14 μM) in various cancer cell lines, viz., MDA-MB-231
Fluorophore tagged N-heterocyclic carbenes and the derived (NHC)Pd(allyl)Cl complexes were synthesized and the fluorescence signal was used to follow the course of a Suzuki coupling reaction.
2,4-Diamino-5-(4-amino- and 4-loweralkylamino-3,5-disubstitutedbenzyl)pyrimidines are prepared by a novel method using 2,6-disubstituted anilines and pyrimidines. Several novel intermediates are involved.
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is a widely used intravenous anaesthetic that is formulated as an emulsion since it lacks water solubility. We report a range of water-soluble analogues of propofol, containing a para-alkylamino substituent, which retain good intravenous anaesthetic activity in rodents. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
