SummaryIn a thrombin generation test with continuous registration of thrombin activity in plasma we studied the ability of a variety of thrombin inhibitors of different type and mechanism of action to influence the activity of thrombin after activation of the coagulation system. Depending on the inhibitor, the peak of thrombin activity is delayed and/or reduced.By blocking the active site of generated thrombin inhibitors cause a concentration dependent reduction of the thrombin peak and inhibit feed-back reactions of thrombin resulting in a delay of thrombin generation. Highly potent synthetic active-site directed inhibitors (Ki ≤ 20 nM) reduce the thrombin activity formed in plasma after extrinsic or intrinsic activation with the same efficiency (IC50 0.1 - 0.6 μM) as hirudin. The delay and reduction of thrombin generation by inhibitors of the anion-binding exosite 1 of thrombin is only attributed to an inhibition of feed-back reactions of thrombin. For a 50% reduction of thrombin activity in plasma by this type of inhibitors relatively high concentrations were determined.

<div>We report the synthesis of a novel macrocyclic host molecule that forms in a single step from commercially available starting materials. The core of the macrocycle backbone possesses two quinone rings and, thus, is redox-active. Host-guest binding involving the clip-shaped cavity indicates selective binding of pyridine <i>N</i>-oxides based of the electron density of and steric bulk of the anionic oxygen.</div>

The solvation effect of a number of nonaqueous polar solvents was studied on the oxidation-reduction properties of the [Co(en)3]3+-[Co(en)3]2+ system. Interactions of these ions with the solvent molecules are discussed in terms of their coordination, which is accompanied by a specific interaction of the Lewis acid-base type, namely formation of a hydrogen bond between the interacting particles. This is the main controlling factor of the redox properties of the studied system.

Theoretical relationships and simplifying conditions have been derived for the feed of two reaction components into a nonisochoric reactor with ideal stirring. The feed of reaction components is controlled by the negative feedback at a constant absorbance of the reaction mixture. The theoretical relationships have been verified using model 2. order oxidation-reduction reactions of Ce(IV)/V(IV) and Fe(III)/V(III) in 1 M sulfuric acid at 20 °C.

Searching for reaction in organic synthesis has been made much easier in the current age of computer databases. However, the dilemma now is which procedure one selects among the ocean of choices. Especially for novices in the laboratory, it becomes a daunting task to decide what reaction conditions to experiment with first in order to have the best chance of success. This collection intends to serve as an "older and wiser lab-mate" one could have by compiling many of the most commonly used experimental procedures in organic synthesis. With chapters that cover such topics as functional group manipulations, oxidation, reduction, and carbon-carbon bond formation, Modern Organic Synthesis in the Laboratory will be useful for both graduate students and professors in organic chemistry and medicinal chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
