This study was undertaken to develop new dipyridamole (DP) formulations with acidic microenvironmental pH-modifiers for improving dissolution and absorption under hypochlorhydric conditions. Dipyridamole granules (DPG) with ten acidic pH-modifiers were prepared with conventional wet granulation, and their manufacturability, stability and

The present paper deal with the multi-component condensation of 8-hydroxy quinoline, aromatic aldehydes, and sulfone derivatives catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid for the synthesis of a series of 4H-pyrano[3,2-h]quinoline derivatives in ethanol under ultrasonic irradiations. We provide a series of quinoline

The 1:1 p-toluenesulfonic acid-water complex, p-toluenesulfonic acid itself and the p-toluenesulfonate anion were studied at HF and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) levels of theory. Full geometry optimizations of the aforementioned species reveal non-existence of ionic minima on the explored 1:1 p-toluenesulfonic acid-water complex

Practical, chromatography-free syntheses of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor MK-0633 p-toluenesulfonate (1) are described. The first route used an asymmetric zincate addition to ethyl 2,2,2-trifluoropyruvate followed by 1,3,4-oxadiazole formation and reductive amination as key steps. An improved second route features an inexpensive diastereomeric
