A European population in Minoan Bronze Age Crete.

The first advanced Bronze Age civilization of Europe was established by the Minoans about 5,000 years before present. Since Sir Arthur Evans exposed the Minoan civic centre of Knossos, archaeologists have speculated on the origin of the founders of the civilization. Evans proposed a North African origin; Cycladic, Balkan, Anatolian and Middle Eastern origins have also been proposed.

7,8-Dihydroxy-4-propyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-octahydrobenzo[f]quinolinium bromide monohydrate, a dopamine agonist.

In the crystal structure of the title dopaminergic compound, C16H24NO2+.Br-.H2O, protonation occurs at the piperidine N atom.

Stereochemical basis for activity in thiadiazole anticonvulsants: 1-[5-(biphenyl-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]methanaminium chloride and two inactive analogues, 2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-5-[2-(1-methylethylidene)hydrazino]-1,3,4-thiadiazole and the methanol solvate of its hydrochloride salt.

In 1-[5-(biphenyl-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]methanaminium chloride, C15H14N3S+.Cl-, the protonation occurs at the amine N atom. The outer phenyl ring makes an angle of 88.

2-acetamido-N-benzyl-2-(methoxyamino)acetamides: functionalized amino acid anticonvulsants.

In the crystal structure of 2-acetamido-N-benzyl-2-(methoxyamino)acetamide (3L), C12H17N3O3, the 2-acetylaminoacetamide moiety has a linearly extended conformation, with an interplanar angle between the two amide groups of 157.3 (1) degrees . In 2-acetamido-N-benzyl-2-[methoxy(methyl)amino]acetamide (3N), C13H19N3O3, the planes of the two amide groups intersect at an angle of 126.
