At physiological pH, cimetidine (1a) and its analogues burimamide (1b) and metiamide (1c) exist mainly as an equilibrium mixture of tautomers. A high concentration of tautomer 2 is associated with increased H2-receptor interaction. 3-Indole derivatives (5c-f) and 2-indole derivatives (6c-f) were synthesized and tested as immobile analogues of tautomers 2 and 3, respectively. Weak competitive H2 antagonism was found in N'-cyano-N-[2-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)thio]ethyl]carbamidothioic acid methyl ester (5e) and N-[2-[(1H-indol-2-ylmethyl)thio]-ethyl]-N'-methylthiourea (6c).

Endophytic fungi are effective in plant growth and development by secreting various kinds of plant hormones and nutrients. However, the cellular and molecular interactions between the endophytic fungi and plant growth-promoting have remained less explored. The present study was designed to explore the effects of the infection and colonization events of strain ND35 on cucumber growth and the expression pattern of some metabolically important genes in development of the cucumber radicle.

Inhibition of the major human drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) by pharmaceuticals and other xenobiotics could lead to toxicity, drug-drug interactions and other adverse effects, as well as pharmacoenhancement. Despite serious clinical implications, the structural basis and attributes required for the potent inhibition of CYP3A4 remain to be established. We utilized a rational inhibitor design to investigate the structure-activity relationships in the analogues of ritonavir, the most potent CYP3A4 inhibitor in clinical use.

Dioxetane intermediates readily decompose to chemiluminescent triplet carbonyls, giving rise to what has been paradoxically called photochemistry in the dark. In this issue of Photochemistry and Photobiology, Bechara et al. report on mechanistic advances in such a reaction.

The influence of lipophilicity and functional groups of synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) on their blood concentrations and urinary excretion has been studied by analyzing blood and urine specimens sampled from drivers who were involved in a car crashes under the influence of SCs. A total of 58 specimens (26 urine and 31 blood specimens), sampled within 13h of the occurrence, were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Fifteen SCs were detected in those specimens; the SCs detected were categorized as follows: Class 1, Naphthoyl/Benzoyl indole (EAM2201 and three other analogs); Class 2, Indole-3-carboxylate/carboxamide containing naphthol/quinol (5F-PB-22 and four other analogs); and Class 3, Indazole-3-carboxamide containing valine/tert-leucine derivative (5F-AMB and five other analogs).

A palladium-catalyzed enantioselective redox-relay Heck reaction of 2-indole triflates and disubstituted alkenes is reported. This process combines readily available indole triflates with a variety of alkenes to afford a range of indole derivatives bearing a stereocenter adjacent to C2. Enantioselectivity is achieved through use of a simple pyridine-oxazoline ligand.
