1H and 13C spectral assignment of 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinolines 3-substituted derivatives.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 4-aryl-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2,7,7,5-oxo-quinoline 3-substituted derivatives have been fully assigned by the combination of one- and two dimensional experiments (DEPT, HMBC, HMQC, COSY, NOE).

Alkyl-linked bis-THTT derivatives as potent in vitro trypanocidal agents.

The effect of several alkyl-linked bis tetrahydro-(2H)-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione (bis-THTT) on Leishmania donovani, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, and Plasmodium falciparum is reported. Most of the compounds exhibited a potent activity against the three parasitic strains but the best in vitro activity profiles were found against T. b.

Theoretical study of the highly diastereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,4-dihydropyridine-containing azomethine ylides to [60]fullerene (Prato's reaction).

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides bearing the biologically active 1,4-dihydropiridine ring to C(60) was investigated by means of quantum mechanical calculations at the semiempirical AM1 and DFT (B3LYP/6-31G) methods. The presence of two chiral centers and one chiral axis in the resulting fulleropyrrolidines leads to four possible [6,6] cycloaddition products. Formation of atropoisomers has also been considered.
