ABSTRACTInteresting antischistosomal properties have been documented for the antimalarial mefloquine, a 4-quinolinemethanol. We evaluated the antischistosomal activities of nine mefloquine-related compounds belonging to the 4-pyridinemethanols, 9-phenanthrenmethanols, and 4-quinolinemethanols. Eight compounds revealed high activities againstSchistosoma mansoni in vitro, with two drugs (the 4-quinolinemethanols WR7573 and WR7930) characterized by significantly lower half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) (2.7 and 3.5 μM, respectively) compared to mefloquine (11.4 μM). Mefloquine and WR7930 showed significantly decreased IC50s when incubated in the presence of hemoglobin. High worm burden reductions (WBR) were obtained with enpiroline (WBR, 82.7%; dosage, 200 mg/kg of body weight) and itsthreoisomers (+)-threo(WBR, 100%) and (−)-threo(WBR, 89%) and with WR7930 (WBR, 87%; dosage, 100 mg/kg) against adultS. mansoniin mice. Furthermore, excellentin vitroandin vivoantischistosomal activity was observed for two WR7930-related structures (WR29252 and WR7524). In addition, mefloquine (WBR, 81%), enpiroline (WBR, 77%), and WR7930 (WBR, 100%) showed high activities againstS. haematobiumharbored in mice following single oral doses of 200 mg/kg. These results provide a deeper insight into the structural features of the arylmethanols that rule antischistosomal activity. Further studies should be launched with enpiroline and WR7930.

Proton magnetic resonance and infrared spectra were obtained for 44 carbamylphosphonates and related compounds, the common structural features being the grouping As with ordinary amides, slow rotation is observed around the carbonyl-to-nitrogen bond, but the chemical shift between nitrogen substituents is three to five times as great. Evidence is presented for long range coupling of phosphorus to protons in N-substituents. Correlations are observed between the carbonyl and phosphoryl stretching frequencies and substituents both on nitrogen and on phosphorus.

Copper and silver are common constituents in natural sulfosalts and can be present as minor or major components. Owing to the different kinds of coordination they can assume, these elements give rise to a number of sulfosalts that are usually quite complex to describe from a structural point of view because of the presence of twinning, disorder, polytypism and sometimes incommensurate modulation. Moreover, it is common to find them in different, partially occupied split sites, favoring the presence of strong ionic conductivity that can be related to a number of interesting technological properties. In this regard, a series of Cu- and Ag-rich sulfosalts showing an excess of these cations with respect to As, Sb and Bi is particularly interesting. Their crystal structures as well as their potential interest for materials science and solid-state physics are outlined. Copper- and mixed (Cu, Ag)-sulfosalts belonging to the wittichenite, tetrahedrite, galkhaite, routhierite and nowackiite series are discussed, together with some related compounds. Whereas in the wittichenite series Cu has either a trigonal planar or tetrahedral coordination, in members of the other series this element forms three-dimensional tetrahedral frameworks giving rise to cavities hosting other cations and anions. More difficult is the description of Ag-rich sulfosalts owing to the highly variable coordination environments shown by this element. Structural features of selected Ag sulfosalts together with members of the argyrodite series are discussed, highlighting the particular properties derived from the behavior of Ag.

Three series of compounds have been prepared and compared for the insecticidal activities against German roaches and houseflies. The substituted 2,2-diphenyltrichloroethanes and substituted benzohydrols have been found to have comparable activities on roaches. The substituted 2,2-diphenyltrichloroethanes alone had insecticidal properties against houseflies. The benzophenone derivatives were ineffective against both groups of insects.

Inhibition studies with compounds having structural features in common with the natural estrogens have shown that 2-hydroxyestrone and 2-hydroxyestradiol are potent inhibitors of the rat liver microsomal system, which converts estrone to water-soluble protein-bound products. Simple phenols and naphthols hydroxylated in the ortho and para positions were also found to be good inhibitors, but the corresponding meta-hydroxylated compounds, as well as various anthraquinones and estrogens substituted in the 6, 10, or 16 positions, were inactive in this respect. The synthetic estrogen, hexestrol, lost its inhibitory activity on conversion to dihydroxy hexestrol, a nonestrogenic analogue. The type of inhibition produced by 2-hydroxyestrone, equilenin, diethylstilbestrol, and menadione has been determined by the Lineweaver–Burk method and shown to be competitive for the first three of these compounds.

This review is devoted to the general methods for obtaining guanidine derivatives and related compounds, their chemical properties, and structural features. On the one hand, guanidine and its derivatives play a crucial role in the metabolism of living organisms. On the other hand, owing to their unique properties and simple synthesis, the guanidine derivatives are used as synthetic drugs and biocidal agents, catalysts, ligands, and sweeteners. Furthermore, the guanidine derivatives serve as a basis for the creation of modern smart materials.
