In this paper, using a hybrid small-animal Micro SPECT/CT imaging system, we report that a new (125)I-Cilengitide-like RGD-cyclopentapeptide, containing d-morpholine-3-carboxylic acid, interacts in vivo with α(v)β(3) integrin expressed by melanoma cells. Images clearly show that the (125)I-compound has the capacity to monitor the growth of a melanoma xenograft. Indeed, retention of the labeled ligand in the tumor mass has a good tumor/background ratio, and a significant reduction of its uptake was observed after injection of unlabeled ligand. These results suggest that the use of (125)I-labeled morpholine-based RGD-cyclopentapeptides targeting α(v)β(3) positive tumors may play a role in future therapeutic strategies.

Fluorescence sensing of metal ions in solution using a morpholine-containing phenolic Mannich base of 1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone.

A phenolic Mannich base derived from 1'-hydroxy-2'-acetonaphthone (HAN) as a substrate and morpholine as an amine reagent was synthesized and structurally characterized. The sensing ability toward various metal ions of the s-, p- and d-block of this molecule that has the binding site for metal ions in the starting -hydroxyphenone preserved was examined. Interaction between this phenolic Mannich base and Al, Cr, Cu and Co leads to modifications of the sensing molecule's absorption spectrum.

Drugs that act on α-adrenoceptors may contain morpholine and pyrimidinone heterocycles. The aim of this study was to synthesize a series of pyrimidinones (S6a-e and S8) and characterize their α-adrenoceptor activity. Cytotoxicity assays (MTT and LDH) were performed in A7r5 and HUVECs.

A cascade reaction enabling enantio- and diastereoselective construction of strained cyclopropanes is described. This asymmetric (2+1) annulation process uses vinyl methylene carbonate and 2-cyanoacrylate as reaction partners in the presence of Pd(PPh) as a precatalyst and an enantioenriched phosphoramidite ligand featuring a morpholine functionality. Mechanistic investigations unveil that the PPh derived from the Pd(PPh) and the morpholine-containing phosphoramidite work as cooperative phosphorus and Brønsted base catalysts to promote the reaction.

Article Synopsis
- * Five of the newly synthesized compounds had lower cytotoxic effects than SKM13-2HCl, with SAM13-2HCl showing better antimalarial activity against certain resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum.
- * However, SAM13-2HCl demonstrated lower effectiveness in a live mouse model and was more toxic, suggesting that while it shows promise, further improvements are needed to balance efficacy and safety in treating infections.

Derivatives of morpholine are biologically active organic compounds with special structures discovered in multiple drugs. As a result of the terminal pharmacophore of action and extraordinary activity, they attracted fair attention with regard to pesticide innovation and development. Analysis of brief structure-activity relationships and the summarization of the characteristics of pesticides containing morpholine fragments with efficient activity are key steps in the development of novel pesticides.
