On the Importance of C-H/π and C-H⋅⋅⋅H-C Interactions in the Solid State Structure of 15-Lipoxygenase Inhibitors Based on Eugenol Derivatives.

In this manuscript the X-ray structures of two potent and known inhibitors of 15-lipoxygenase, that is, 4-allyl-2-methoxyphenyl-1-admantanecarboxylate (1) and allyl-2-methoxyphenyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate (2), are reported. Their solid-state architectures show that they have a strong ability to establish C-H/π and C-H⋅⋅⋅H-C interactions. For the former interaction, the adamantane or cyclohexane moieties are the C-H donors and the electron-rich methoxyphenyl ring is the π system.

Tetra-kis{4-[(2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)meth-yl]morpholin-4-ium} dodeca-tungstosilicate hexa-hydrate.

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(6)H(12)N(5)O)(4)[W(12)(SiO(4))O(36)]·6H(2)O, consists of an α-Keggin-type [W(12)(SiO(4))O(36)](4-) polyoxidoanion, four [(2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)meth-yl]morpholinium cations and six uncoordinated water mol-ecules. In the cations, the morpholine rings display chair conformations. Extensive N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-(benzyloxy)-4-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives as PDE3 inhibitors.

Selective PDE3 (phosphodiesterase 3) inhibitors improve cardiac contractility and may be used in congestive heart failure. However, their proarrhythmic potential is the most important side effect. In this work ten new synthetic compounds (3-[(4-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-6-quinolinyl)oxy]methylbenzamide analogs: 4a-j) were designed, synthesized and tested for the inhibitory activity against human PDE3A and PDE3B.

SAR comparative studies on pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4] benzothiazine derivatives as 15-lipoxygenase inhibitors, using ab initio calculations.

The enzyme inhibitory activity of a new group of 2-substituted pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]benzothiazines on soybean 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) was evaluated and compared with those of their 4-methyl analogs using ab initio calculations. The results of these studies showed that the lack of 4-methyl substituent in the pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4] benzothiazine molecules greatly reduces their 15-LO inhibitory activities.
