Synthesis and Herbicidal Activity of 5-Heterocycloxy-3-methyl-1-substituted-1H-pyrazoles.

With the objective of finding valuable herbicidal candidates, a series of new 5-heterocycloxy-3-methyl-1-substituted-1H-pyrazoles were synthesized and their herbicidal activities were evaluated. The bioassay results showed that some compounds exhibited excellent herbicidal activities at the concentration of 100 mg/L, and compound 5-chloro-2-((3-methyl-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)oxy)pyrimidine showed bleaching activity to green weeds. In greenhouse conditions, this compound also showed excellent post-emergence herbicidal effect against Digitaria sanguinalis L.

[13,27-Dichloro-3,6,9,17,20,23-hexa-azatetracyclo-[23.3.1.1.0]triaconta-1(29),9,11,13,15(30),16,23,25,27-nona-ene-29,30-diol-κN,N,N,O,O]bis-(nitrato-κO,O')europium(III) nitrate methanol hemisolvate.

The title compound, [Eu(III)(NO(3))(2)(C(24)H(28)Cl(2)N(6)O(2))]NO(3)·0.5CH(3)OH, is isostructural with the Gd(III) and Ho(III) complexes of the analogous macrocyclic ligand, with both Cl atoms replaced by methyl groups. The Eu atom exhibits a nine-coordinate distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry.

[Evaluation of islet beta cell function in subjects with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose regulation, and type 2 diabetes mellitus].

Objective: To investigate the function of islet beta cells in subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose regulation (IGR), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Different indexes of insulin secretion, including DeltaI30/DeltaG30, AIR or HOMAbeta, were compared.

Methods: 178 subjects without overt diabetes were classified into three groups according to the results of 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): NGT group (n = 68), IGR group (n = 75), and T2DM group (n = 35).
