Sulfones Q 0600Rapid Synthesis of Sulfone Derivatives as Potential Antiinfectious Agents. -New aryl phenacyl sulfones, obtained via a one-pot microwave-assisted synthesis in aqueous medium, are evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. The most potent sulfones, i.e. compounds (IIIb) and (IIIc), show higher potency than dapsone. -(CURTI, C.; LAGET, M.; ORTIZ CARLE, A.; GELLIS, A.; VANELLE*, P.; Eur. J. Med.

Preparations of bacterial chondrosulphatase, purified chondroitinase and testicular hyaluronidase showed no activity. 4. Preparations of a-amylase from saliva and cereal seeds were inactive but a crystalline sample of pancreatic a-amylase showed activity. This disappeared on further recrystallization, and it is concluded that the elastolytic activity of a-amylase reported in the literature is due to contamination with pancreatic elastase. 5. Various commercial preparations of ficin all showed the same ratio of elastolytic to proteolytic activity as measured by viscosity reduction of gelatin. This same ratio was maintained throughout fractionation and purification of commercial dried fig latex. It was concluded that 'fig-latex elastase' is identical with the major proteolytic enzyme in preparations of 'ficin'. 6. The results of the survey confirm the view that elastolysis is the result of proteolytic activity. The failure of certain well-characterized proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin and chymotrypsin to dissolve elastin is attributed either to their failure to penetrate the cross-linked structure of elastin or to the very restricted peptide-bond specificity exhibited by these enzymes.
The kino exuded by Eucalyptus hemiphloia
contains (+)-hemiphloin, isohemiphloin, (-)-eudesmin, aromadendrin, kaempferol,
engelitin, ellagic acid, and small amounts of gallic acid. Hemiphloin and
isohemiphloin appear to be 8-hexahydroxyhexyl derivatives of naringenin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
