The neurotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, an impurity in an illicit drug, is expressed after its oxidation to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium by monoamine oxidase. The pyridinium is concentrated by carrier-mediated transport into the mitochondria where it inhibits NADH dehydrogenase and, hence, ATP synthesis. Some
The synthesis and characterization of one coordination polymer and two trinuclear complexes are presented. The coordination polymer [Zn2(µ-O,O'-ACA)2(ACA)2(4-Phpy)2]n (1) has been obtained by the reaction between Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, α-acetamidocinnamic acid (HACA), and 4-phenylpyridine (4-Phpy) using EtOH as solvent. Its recrystallization in
Because of the chemical and structural similarity between 4-phenylpyridine (4PP) and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), the effects of 4PP alone and in combination with MPTP on striatal dopamine (DA) concentrations were studied in mice. 4PP did not deplete striatal DA, even when
The fabrication of efficient and convenient photocatalytic H2 evolution systems is a fascinating research topic in the field of solar energy conversion. A ternary self-assembled photocatalytic H2 evolution system was fabricated through supramolecular host-guest chemistry. The system consisted of the

The binding to human placental aromatase cytochrome P-450 and resulting extent of inhibition was examined for pyridine, pyridines substituted at the 2-, 3-, or 4-positions with phenyl or benzoyl groups, and the nonpyridinic structural analogs biphenyl and benzophenone. Spectral binding
