Atorvastatin calcium (Lipitor®, Sortis®) is a well-established cholesterol synthesis enzyme (CSE) inhibitor commonly used in the therapy of hypercholesterolemia. This drug is known to be sensitive to acid treatment, but only little data has been published on the structures of the degradation products. Here we report the identification of two novel degradation products of atorvastatin, which are formed only under drastic acidic conditions. While treatment with conc. sulfuric acid led to a loss of the carboxanilide residue (accompanied by an expectable lactonization/dehydration process in the side chain), treatment with conc. aqueous hydrochloric acid gave a complex, bridged molecule under C–C-bond formation of the lactone moiety with the pyrrole, migration of the isopropyl group and loss of the carboxanilide residue. The novel degradation products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, HRMS data and X-ray crystal structure analysis.

The novel Y2O3 nanoflowers were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without using any catalyst or template. The phase composition and the microstructure of as-prepared products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The formation mechanism for the Y2O3 flowers has been proposed.

The synthesis and characterization of the novel selenium coronands, 1,3,7,9-tetraselenacyclododecane 1a, 1,3,7,9,13,15-hexaselenacyclooctadecane 2a, the corresponding β-gem-dimethyl derivatives 1b, 2b, and 1,5,9,13-tetraselenacyclohexadecane 3, and 1,5,9,13,17,21-hexaselenacyclotetracosane 4 are described. X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1a reveals three independent molecules that exist in two distinct conformations, one molecule having approximate two-fold symmetry together with two molecules (of similar conformation) each having crystallographic [Formula: see text] symmetry. The conformations are denoted as [3333] or [66]. Whereas one resembles that of cyclododecane and tetrathia-12-crown-4 with respect to torsion angles, the other resembles that of tetraoxa-12-crown-4. The solid state CP-MAS 77Se and 13C nmr spectra are interpreted in light of the crystallographic information. Crystal structure: formula Se4C8H16; fw = 428.05; monoclinic, P21/c; Z = 8; a = 15.823(2) Å, b = 5.534(1) Å, c = 27.962(5) Å, β = 92.26(1)°; V = 2446.6 Å3; T = 200 K; R = 0.027 for 2162 observed data (I ≥ 2.5σ(I)).

Excellent fluorescence properties are exhibited by d 10 metal compounds. The novel three-dimensional ZnII coordination framework, poly[[{μ2-bis[4-(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl] ether-κ2 N 3:N 3′}(μ2-furan-2,5-dicarboxylato-κ2 O 2:O 5)zinc(II)] 1.76-hydrate], {[Zn(C6H2O5)(C20H18N4O)]·1.76H2O} n , has been prepared and characterized using IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure analysis revealed that the compound exhibits a novel fourfold interpenetrating diamond-like network. This polymer also displays a strong fluorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature.

Novel ruthenium(III) complexes with histamine[RuCl4(dmso-S)(histamineH)]⋅O(1a) and[RuCl4(dmso-S)(histamineH)](1b) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray structure analysis. Their crystal structures are similar and show a protonated amino group on the side chain of the ligand which is not very common for a simple heterocyclic derivative such as histamine. Biological assays to test the cytotoxicity of the compound1bcombined with electroporation were performed to determine its potential for future medical applications in cancer treatment.

The structure and absolute configuration of a bisepoxide (2) produced by oxidation of tetraacetylsecologanin dimethyl acetal (1) with m-chloroperbenzoic acid have been established by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Epoxidation of the vinyl side chain is unexceptional; epoxidation of the β-alkoxyacrylate moiety is novel. This determination represents a valuable bench mark for configurational assignments, since the bisepoxide has been correlated by chemical transformations with a number of synthetic and naturally-occurring derivatives of secologanin.
