Zinc sensors based on 2,3-dipicolylamine (DPA) and quinoline have been synthesized. They fluoresced in the presence of Zn(2+) and remained fluorescent when other metal ions were present. Fluorescence enhancement of the sensors was not seen for most other metal ions.

Two new rhodamine based probes 1 and 2 for the detection of Fe(3+) were synthesized and their selectivity towards Fe(3+) ions in the presence of other competitive metal ions tested. The probe 1 formed a coloured complex with Fe(3+) as
A practical Brønsted acid promoted benzylic C-H functionalization of 2-methylazaarenes and nucleophilic addition to aldehydes was developed in good to excellent yields. A six-membered hydrogen-bonding transition state is proposed to be crucial for the reaction. Ready availability of the two

A series of carboxamidoquinoline-based fluorescent sensors (the AQZ family) were synthesized and characterized. The AQZ family members were highly soluble in water and showed good selectivity for Zn(2+)via enhanced fluorescence in aqueous buffer solution. Fluorescence signals could be tuned from

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates cellular and whole-body energy balance in response to changes in adenylate charge and hormonal signals. Activation of AMPK in tissues such as skeletal muscle and liver reverses many of the metabolic defects associated with
