The metabolites identified by standard spectrometric methods are (16S,22S)-16,22-dihydroxyergosta-4,24(28)-dien-3-one and (16S,22R)-16,22-dihydroxyergosta-4,24(28)-dien-3-one, (16S,22S,24R)-16,22,24-trihydroxyporifera-4,28-dien-3-one and (16S,22S,24S)-16,22,24-trihydroxystigma-4,28-dien-3-one along with (16S,22S,24E)-16,22-dihydroxystigma-4,24(28)-dien-3-one and (16S,20S)-16,20-dihydroxyergosta-4,24(28)-dien-3-one. (16S,22S,24E)-16,22-Dihydroxystigma-4,24(28)-dien-3-one possessed the most potent cytotoxicity of the steroids in this series with cell growth inhibitions of GI50 8.7 ± 0.7 μM against colon cancer HT29, GI50 5.6 ± 0.8 μM against the breast cancer line MCF-7 and GI50 4.5 ± 0.2 μM against the ovarian cancer cell line A2780. (16S,22R)-16,22-dihydroxyergosta-4,24(28)-dien-3-one was found to be active against the ovarian cancer cell line A2780 with a GI50 of 6.2 ± 0.1 μM.]]> Wed 07 Jun 2023 10:45:25 AEST ]]> Teaching Science Students How to Think https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44271 Tue 11 Oct 2022 14:20:43 AEDT ]]> Avoiding the science stupidity trap https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42733 Thu 01 Sep 2022 13:32:19 AEST ]]> Antimycobacterial flavonoids from Derris indica https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1180 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:28 AEDT ]]> Crystal structure of 6-azido-6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-a-D-glucofuranose https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39057 Fsp3 index natural-product analogues such as imino­sugars are of paramount importance in the investigation of their biological activities and reducing the use of protecting groups is an advantageous synthetic strategy. An iso­propyl­idene group was employed towards the synthesis of seven-membered ring imino­sugars and the title compound, C9H15N3O5, was crystallized as an inter­mediate, in which the THF ring is twisted and the dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation: the dihedral angle between the rings is 67.50 (13)°. In the crystal, the hydroxyl groups participate in O—H...(O,O) and O—H...N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, which generate chains of mol­ecules propagating parallel to the a-axis direction. There is a notable non-classical C—H...O hydrogen bond, which cross-links the [100] chains into (001) sheets.]]> Mon 02 May 2022 15:27:38 AEST ]]>
