ITS CONGENERS

The mode of action has not yet been elucidated but the manufacturer states that it probably behaves like the herbicide triflurolin and its congeners. These materials inhibit cell division by binding to tubuHn thereby internipting micro-tubule development. This, in turn, stops spindle fiber formation essential to mitosis and cell division. Experiments with C-labeled Prime+ show that it is acutely toxic to fish with estimated LC q (96 h) of less than 100 ppb for rainbow trout and bluegiU. sunfish. However, channel catfish did not exhibit any toxic response at the maximum attainable water concentration (10). 

Synthesis. In the syntheses of T and its congeners, formation of the stericaHy hindered diaryl ether core is difficult, as is the introduction of the alanyl side chain (or the preservation of its L (3) absolute configuration) and iodination to the desired degree (T or T. ... 

Bismuth is the fifth member of the nitrogen family of elements and, like its congeners, possesses five electrons in its outermost shell, In many... 

Vitamin K can antagonize coumarinic acid compounds (warfaria and its congeners) and iadandione derivatives. Vitamin K exists ia several forms including simple water-soluble meaadioae [58-27-5] (9)... 

The vast majority of syntheses of pyrido[2,3-t/]- and pyrido[3,4-t/]-pyridazines fall into this category, resulting from the cyclization of various o-substituted pyridine derivatives (2,3- or 3,4-, respectively) with hydrazine or its congeners. 

There are now known a eonsiderable number of alkaloids containing two distinct woquinoline nuclei, such as emetine and its congeners (p. 394), and in the morphine sub-group, -morphine, dithebainone (p. 255), disinomenine and its pseudo-isomeride (p. 268). The most important collection of such alkaloids is the bisbenzylwoquinoline or biscoclaurine section of which the following two alkaloids, berbamine and oxyacanthine, are examples, but which is typically developed in the Menispermaceas. 

The labt compound has been utilised for the preparation of fluorobenzene, and its congeners by the action of cone, hydio-fluoiic acid,... 

Be is much less than that of its congeners, again indicating its lower electropositivity. By contrast, Ca, Sr, Ba and Ra have reduction potentials which are almost identical with those of the heavier alkali metals Mg occupies an intermediate position. 

The generally accepted structure-activity relationships developed in the early work in the quinolone series held that the N-1 substituent needed to be small and aliphatic. This picture was upset in a dramatic way with the discovery of the excellent potency and antimicrobial spectrum of difloxacin (45) and its congeners in which the substituent on N-1 is an aromatic ring. The synthe-... 

The straightforward way in which metallic valency can now be discussed may be illustrated by the example tin, which is more versatile in its behaviour than its congeners germanium and lead). 

Like Na,K-ATPase, gastric H,K-ATPase also exhibits a p-nitrophenylphosphatase (/>NPPase) activity. This phosphatase activity is dependent on Mg and K, or one of its congeners with the same order of selectivity as for the ATPase activity, yielding a specific activity of 6D84% of the maximal ATPase activity [4,136,137]. Phosphorylation by pNPP has not been demonstrated and transport is also not catalyzed by this substrate. As in the ATPase reaction the effect of on the... 

PMEA and its congeners are more effective in vivo than could be predicted from their in vitro potency. While less potent as an antiretrovirus agent than AZT in vitro, PMEA proved clearly superior to AZT when the two drugs were compared for their effectiveness in vivo, in mice infected with murine Moloney sarcoma virus [51,52]. PMEA was also shown to be effective against various other retrovirus infections, including Friend leukemia virus (FLV), Rauscher leukemia virus (RLV), and LP-BM5 (murine AIDS) virus infection in mice, feline leukemia virus (FeLV) or feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in cats, and SIV infection in macaque (rhesus) monkeys (for review, see Ref. 53). In the latter model [54], again PMEA proved far superior to AZT in suppressing several parameters of the disease. 

Elements of the structure of ibuprofen and its congeners are clearly visible in cicloprofen. 

Since the discovery of this new class or marine metabolites, the origin of the isocyano group and its relation to its congeners has continued to draw the interest of investigators. While the chemical transformations of these functions are firmly established, progress in understanding the biogenetic details within the -NC/-NCS/-NHCHO series has been slow. 

The palladium-catalyzed multicomponent coupling reactions have attracted considerable interest.12,12a 12e A reaction using allylstannane 39 and allyl chloride 40 was applied to the three-component diallylation of benzylidenema-lonitrile and its congeners by Yamamoto et al 2 Analogous diallylation of isocyanate 41 was studied by Szabo et al. (Scheme 7).12a The reaction mechanism can be explained by formation of an amphoteric bis-allylpalladium intermediate 43 which undergoes an initial electrophilic attack on one of the allyl moieties followed by a nucleophilic attack on the other. 

The natural prototype for the phenylalkylamines is mescaline (Structure 1), isolated from the peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii) by Heffter in 1896 (100) and subsequently obtained synthetically by Spath in 1919 (218). Used for many centuries in the form of peyote by Indians in Mexico and the American Southwest (3), it is often referred to as one of the classic hallucinogens, along with psilocybin, psilocin, and LSD. Little structure-activity work was directed toward mescaline or its congeners until 1955, when Peretz et al. (174) reported that a-methyl mescaline (TMA) (8), which represented a hybrid of the structure... 

The biosynthesis of this imine and its congener, nitropolyzonamine (22), would be another challenging area for future exploration. 

The trapping of the succinimidyl radical and its congeners is a classical problem (Lagercrantz and Forshult, 1969 Chalfont and Perkins, 1970 ...
