The cyclosporins comprise a family of cyclic 11-peptides containing seven N-methylated, hydrophobic amino acids. Cyclosporine A (CsA) representing the major member of this family is widely used as immunosuppressive agent in organ transplantations. The biol ...
Conversion of unactivated olefins to azides was achieved with high Markovnikov selectivity for a broad range of alkenes by using 6 mol % Co(BF4).6H2O and ligand I, with 3 equiv of tosyl azide as the nitrogen source and simple silanes (e.g., PhSiH3, tetrame ...
Conformational transitions of peptides and proteins have recently moved to the center of interest in various domains of research at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine due to their implication in an increasing number of diseases in which the ...
Despite of considerable progress in the research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine, neurodegenerative diseases affect more and more seriously our ageing population and remain a real therapeutic challenge for researcher. Nevertheless, adva ...
The degradation of metobromuron (MB), isoproturon (IP), chlortoluron (CT), and chlorbromuron (CB) in heterogeneous photocatalytic solution via TiO2 was studied in detail. The influence of parameters such as TiO2 and herbicide concentration has been investi ...
The importance of catalysis in chemistry has not to be proved anymore. Be it homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysis, the constant progresses observed in that field proves its obvious interest. The asymmetric homogeneous catalysis is a method of choice to s ...
Intramol. O,N-acyl migration reactions were used as structural switch (S-elements) from a depsipeptide bond contg., unfolded state (Soff) to an all-amide, native states (Son). Chem. or enzymically triggered acyl migrations allowed for the controlled induct ...
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equiv. to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic ac ...
The study of conformational transitions of peptides has obtained considerable attention recently because of their importance as a mol. key event in a variety of degenerative diseases. However, the study of peptide self-assembly into beta-sheets and amyloid ...
Linear amides, prepd. in one step by the Ugi four-component reaction, were converted to 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-3-ones or to 2-(2-oxoindolin-1-yl)acetamides dependent on the catalytic conditions. While microwave irradn. was found to be determinant on the rea ...
