Crystal structure of [1,3-bis-(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)imidazolidin-2-yl-idene]di-chlorido-(2-{[(2-methoxyeth-yl)(meth-yl)amino]-meth-yl}benzyl-idene)ruth-en-ium.

The title compound, [RuCl(CHNO)], is an example of a new generation of ,-dialkyl ruthenium catalysts with an N-Ru coordination bond as part of a six-membered chelate ring. The Ru atom has an Addison τ parameter of 0.244, which indicates a geometry inter-mediate between square-based pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal.

The Hemostatic System in Newborns and the Risk of Neonatal Thrombosis.

Newborns are the most vulnerable patients for thrombosis development among all children, with critically ill and premature infants being in the highest risk group. The upward trend in the rate of neonatal thrombosis could be attributed to progress in the treatment of severe neonatal conditions and the increased survival in premature babies. There are physiological differences in the hemostatic system between neonates and adults.

Influence of Substituents in a Six-Membered Chelate Ring of HG-Type Complexes Containing an N→Ru Bond on Their Stability and Catalytic Activity.

An efficient approach to the synthesis of olefin metathesis HG-type catalysts containing an N→Ru bond in a six-membered chelate ring was proposed. For the most part, these ruthenium chelates can be prepared easily and in high yields based on the interaction between 2-vinylbenzylamines and (the common precursor for Ru-complex synthesis). It was demonstrated that the increase of the steric volume of substituents attached to the nitrogen atom and in the α-position of the benzylidene fragment leads to a dramatic decrease in the stability of the target ruthenium complexes.

New class of hantaan virus inhibitors based on conjugation of the isoindole fragment to (+)-camphor or (-)-fenchone hydrazonesv.

This work presents the design and synthesis of camphor, fenchone, and norcamphor N-acylhydrazone derivatives as a new class of inhibitors of the Hantaan virus, which causes haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). A cytopathic model was developed for testing chemotherapeutics against the Hantaan virus, strain 76-118. In addition, a study of the antiviral activity was carried out using a pseudoviral system.

Application of New Efficient Hoveyda-Grubbs Catalysts Comprising an N→Ru Coordinate Bond in a Six-Membered Ring for the Synthesis of Natural Product-Like Cyclopenta[]furo[2,3-]pyrroles.

The ring rearrangement metathesis (RRM) of a - diastereomer mixture of methyl 3-allyl-3a,6-epoxyisoindole-7-carboxylates derived from cheap, accessible and renewable furan-based precursors in the presence of a new class of Hoveyda-Grubbs-type catalysts, comprising an N→Ru coordinate bond in a six-membered ring, results in the difficult-to-obtain natural product-like cyclopenta[]furo[2,3-]pyrroles. In this process, only one diastereomer with a -arrangement of the 3-allyl fragment relative to the 3a,6-epoxy bridge enters into the rearrangement, while the -isomers polymerize almost completely under the same conditions. The tested catalysts are active in the temperature range from 60 to 120 °C at a concentration of 0.

Neonatal thrombosis.

Neonatal thromboembolism in pediatric patients is a rare but life-threatening condition mainly caused by combinations of at least 2 prothrombotic triggering risk factors such as the central venous lines, septic condition, and prematurity. Other risk factors include asphyxia, dehydration, liver dysfunction, inflammation, and maternal condition. Neonatal hemostatic system is different from one of the older children and adults.
