The reactivity of 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-phthalazine-1,4-dione (luminol) and phthalic hydrazide with hydroxyl radicals was studied. HO*-radicals were generated by the Fenton reaction as well as by water radiolysis. Both luminol and phthalic hydrazide react with hydroxyl radicals under intense chemiluminescence (CL) emission. However, exclusively the CL arising from phthalic hydrazide oxidation can be quenched by competition (e.g. by the addition of carbohydrates), whereas luminol CL is enhanced. The reactivities of both compounds with HO*-radicals were further studied by time-resolved spectroscopy (pulse radiolysis), competition methods, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Whereas only slight differences were detectable by pulse radiolysis, the analysis of competition kinetics in the presence of p-nitroso-dimethylaniline (NDMA) gave a two-fold-enhanced reactivity for luminol (4.8 x 10(9) l mol(-1) s(-1)) in comparison to phthalic hydrazide (2.0 x 10(9) l mol(-1) s(-1)). NMR and mass spectrometric analyses revealed significant differences in the reactivity of HO*-radicals: whereas in luminol solutions hydroxylation of the aromatic ring system predominated, hydroxylated products were not detectable upon irradiation of phthalic hydrazide. A hypothetical mechanism is proposed which may explain the observed differences.

Stem cell-based therapies show promise for clinically addressing circumferential tracheal defects (CTD) through tissue engineering. However, creating a tissue-engineered tracheal tube possesses a healthy cartilage matrix and intact tube structure remains a challenge. A solution lies in the use of an injectable hydrogel with shape adaptability and chondrogenic capacity, serving as a practical and dependable platform for tubular tracheal cartilage regeneration.

The present investigation involved the synthesis of a number of novel benzylidene hydrazides as candidate cytotoxic agents. The preparation of these compounds from terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid proceeded satisfactorily. However, the reaction of phthalic acid hydrazide with various aryl aldehydes was unsuccessful in general.

Background And Purpose: In the last few decades, nitrogen-rich heterocyclic compounds such as 1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles, 1, 2, 4-triazoles and 1, 3, 4-oxadiazoles have received considerable attention because of their notable biological properties, especially cytotoxic effects. The small molecules of mentioned azole derivatives revealed very intensive antitumor activity. In addition, phthalimide-thiadiazole and naphthalimide-triazole hybrid derivatives have shown remarkable cytotoxic effects.

Schistosoma mansoni histone deacetylase 8 (SmHDAC8) has been recently identified as a new potential target for the treatment of schistosomiasis. A series of newly designed and synthesized alkoxyamide-based and hydrazide-based HDAC inhibitors were tested for inhibitory activity against SmHDAC8 and human HDACs 1, 6, and 8. The front runner compounds showed submicromolar activity against SmHDAC8 and modest preference for SmHDAC8 over its human orthologue hHDAC8.
