6-Arylazo derivatives of the following pyrimidines have been obtained: 2-acetamido-4,5-dihydroxy-, 4-amino-2,5-dihydroxy-, 2,4-diamino-5-hydroxy- and 4-amino-5-hydroxy-2-methyl-pyrimidine. However, some 5-substituted pyrimidines having other electron-releasing groups failed to undergo diazo coupling. 2,4-Dihydroxypyrimidin-5-yl acetate and 2-acetamido-4-hydroxypyrimidin-5-yl acetate lost the 5-acetyl group during the introduction of the arylazo group into the 6-position. However, 2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-5-yl acetate undergoes diazo coupling at the 4(6)-methyl substituent without loss of the 5-acetyl group. The mechanisms for these diazo couplings are discussed.

Peptide-based hydrogels (PHGs) are biocompatible materials suitable for biological, biomedical, and biotechnological applications, such as drug delivery and diagnostic tools for imaging. Recently, a novel class of synthetic hydrogel-forming amphiphilic cationic peptides (referred to as series K), containing an aliphatic region and a Lys residue, was proposed as a scaffold for bioprinting applications. Here, we report the synthesis of six analogues of the series K, in which the acetyl group at the N-terminus is replaced by aromatic portions, such as the Fmoc protecting group or the Fmoc-FF hydrogelator. The tendency of all peptides to self-assemble and to gel in aqueous solution was investigated using a set of biophysical techniques. The structural characterization pointed out that only the Fmoc-derivatives of series K keep their capability to gel. Among them, Fmoc-K3 hydrogel, which is the more rigid one (G’ = 2526 Pa), acts as potential material for tissue engineering, fully supporting cell adhesion, survival, and duplication. These results describe a gelification process, allowed only by the correct balancing among aggregation forces within the peptide sequences (e.g., van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, and π–π stacking).

From intermolecular and intramolecular competition experiments, it has been established that, by comparison with an N-methyl substituent, an N-acetyl group deactivates glycine residues in piperazine-2,5-diones towards free-radical bromination. Combined with the ease of introduction and removal of N-acetyl substituents, the deactivating effect provides a method for regiocontrolled functionalization of these compounds.

Simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric procedures were developed for the analysis of Alfuzosin hydrochloride (AFZ) in pure form as well as in pharmaceutical formulations. The methods are based on the reaction of AFZ with nitrite in acid medium to form diazonium ion, which is coupled with ethoxyethylenemaleic ester (Method A) or ethylcyanoacetate (Method B) or acetyl acetone (method C) in basic medium to form azo dyes, showing absorption maxima at 440, 465 and 490 nm respectively. Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration of 4-20 μg/mL of AFZ for methods A, B and 3-15 μg/mL of AFZ for method C. The molar absorptivity and sandell’s sensitivity of AFZ- ethoxyethylenemaleic ester, AFZ- ethylcyanoacetate and AFZ-acetyl acetone are1.90 × 104, 0.022; 1.93 × 104, 0.021 and 2.67 × 104L mole-1cm-1, 0.015 μg cm-2respectively. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical parameters were evaluated. The methods were successfully applied to the determination of AFZ in pharmaceutical formulations.

Previous work in our laboratories has suggested that (+)-5'-nor-7-deazaaristeromycin (compound 1) may represent a prototype structure for a series of compounds with significant antitrypanosomal activities. To test this possibility, a series of derivatives of compound 1 with changes in the cyclopentyl substituents (compounds 3 to 10) have been studied. Although some growth activity was obtained with the L-like compound 5, related compounds 3 and 7 had little or no activity below 100 microM. D-like compounds 4 and 6 showed some activity at or below 100 microM, but the most interesting finding was that both the D- and L-like compounds having a methyl substituent on the 4' position were most active.

New derivatives of 4-alkyl-3,5-diaryl-4H-1,2,4-triazole were synthesized utilizing the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The presented methodology comprises of the preparation of bromine-containing 4-alkyl-4H-1,2,4-triazoles and their coupling with different commercially available boronic acids in the presence of ionic liquids or in conventional solvents. The obtained compounds were tested for their luminescence properties.

Convenient preparations of synthetically useful acetals, a dithioacetal and an oxathiolan from the 2-acyl derivatives of 2-hydroxyaryl aldehydes under basic conditions are described. The mildness of the reaction conditions is illustrated by the formation of an ethoxycarbonyl -substituted dioxolan . The reaction is dependent upon an intramolecular acetyl group transfer and the mechanism of the reaction is discussed. Some broader implications of this type of acyl transfer are discussed.
