Article Synopsis
  • Researchers synthesized new pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline compounds containing α-ketophosphonic and hydroxymethylenebisphosphonic acids, starting from a specific precursor, 2-chloro-3-formylquinoline.
  • They characterized these compounds thoroughly using techniques like NMR, infrared spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy, ensuring accurate structural identification.
  • During the synthesis, an unexpected reaction led to the formation of a new tetracyclic compound, highlighting a unique addition-cyclization process that had not occurred with similar compounds previously studied.

This study aimed to validate the Comprehensive International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set for obstructive pulmonary diseases (OPDs) from the perspective of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A cross-sectional qualitative study was carried out with outpatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using focus groups with an ICF-based approach. Qualitative data were analysed using the meaning condensation procedure by two researchers with expertise in the ICF.
