A series of Schiff bases have been successfully synthesized through the acid-catalyzed condensation of S-substituted dithiocarbazates and three enantiomerically pure monoterpenes, (1 )-(+)-camphor, (1 )-(-)-camphor, (1 )-(-)-camphorquinone, (1 )-(+)-camphorquinone, ( )-(-)-carvone and ( )-(+)-carvone. Spectroscopic results revealed that the Schiff bases containing camphor or carvone likely adopted an -configuration along the characteristic imine bond while those containing camphorquinone assumed a -configuration. The antidengue potential of these compounds was evaluated based on DENV 2 caused cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction-based in vitro evaluation.

Laccases, oxidative copper-enzymes found in fungi and bacteria were used as the basis in the design of nona- and tetrapeptides. Laccases are known to be excellent catalysts for the degradation of phenolic xenobiotic waste. However, since solvent extraction of laccases is environmentally-unfriendly and yields obtained are low, they are less preferred compared to synthetic catalysts.

The complete mol-ecule of the title hydrazine carbodi-thio-ate derivative, CHNOS, is generated by a crystallographic twofold axis that bis-ects the di-sulfide bond. The mol-ecule is twisted about this bond with the C-S-S-C torsion angle of 90.70 (8)° indicating an orthogonal relationship between the symmetry-related halves of the mol-ecule.

The title Zn complex, [Zn(CHNS)], (I), features two independent but chemically equivalent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each, the thio-semicarbazonate monoanion coordinates the Zn atom the thiol-ate-S and imine-N atoms, with the resulting NS donor set defining a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The five-membered ZnSCN chelate rings adopt distinct conformations in each independent mol-ecule, one ring is almost planar while the other is twisted about the Zn-S bond.

Two bidentate NS ligands were synthesized by the condensation reaction of S-2-methylbenzyldithiocarbazate (S2MBDTC) with 2-methoxybenzaldehyde (2MB) and 3-methoxybenzaldehyde (3MB). The ligands were reacted separately with acetates of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) yielding 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes. The metal complexes formed were expected to have a general formula of [M(NS)2] where M = Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+.

Cu(II), Zn(II) and Re(I) complexes have been synthesized with the Schiff base, N'-[1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)-ethylidene]-hydrazinecarbodithioic acid benzyl ester (SBCM-H) which was prepared by condensation of S-benzyldithiocarbazate and 3-acetylcoumarin. The metal complexes were characterized on the basis of various physico-chemical and spectroscopic techniques including elemental analysis and electrochemical studies, and FT-IR, UV-Vis, NMR, EPR and mass spectroscopy. The Schiff base was found to behave as a bidentate ligand coordinating with Cu(II) and Zn(II) in the thiolate form with 1:2 metal to ligand stoichiometry.

A new series of six Schiff bases derived from S-methyldithiocarbazate (SMDTC) and S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) with methyl levulinate (SMML, SBML), levulinic acid (SMLA, SBLA), and 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (SM4CB, SB4CB) were reacted with copper(II), producing complexes of general formula ML2 (M = Cu(II), L = ligand). All compounds were characterized using established physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Crystal structures were determined for three Schiff bases (SMML, SBML, SBLA) and two Cu(II) complexes (Cu(SMML)2 and Cu(SMLA)2).

Two bidentate Schiff base ligands having nitrogen sulphur donor sequence were derived from the condensation of S-benzyldithiocarbazate (SBDTC) with 2-chloroacetophenone and 4-chloroacetophenone to give S-benzyl- β -N-(2-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS2) and S-benzyl- β -N-(4-chlorophenyl)methylenedithiocarbazate (NS4) isomers. Each of the ligands was then chelated with Cd(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), and Ni(2+). The compounds were characterized via IR spectroscopy and melting point while the structure of NS4 was revealed via X-ray crystallography.

The title compound C(8)H(15)N(3)S has two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which cis-trans isomerism is exhibited around the N(NH)C=S bonds. The cyclo-hexyl rings in both mol-ecules adopt a chair conformation. In the crystal, N-H⋯S hydrogen bonding produces dimers, which are inter-connected through further N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b-axis direction.

Objective: We sought to describe qualitative and borderline quantitative QuantiFERON(®)-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-IT; Cellestis, Valencia, CA) results among persons screened in the context of routine reasons, employment, contact investigation, high-risk foreign-born arrivals in the United States ≤ 5 years, and high-risk United States residents >5 years.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 3288 QFT-IT results from a clinical laboratory in the Pacific Northwest from January 2, 2008 to June 5, 2009. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) responses were quantified as low, borderline, or high for tuberculosis (TB) antigens (IFN-γ [TB]) and a positive mitogen control (IFN-γ [mitogen]), after subtracting a background control (IFN-γ [nil]).
