Disease relevance of anisole

 

Psychiatry related information on anisole

  • With more reactive and/or nonvolatile reagents (anisole, xylenes, mesitylene) expeditious conditions (short reaction time at constant MW power without control of the temperature) were used [2].
 

High impact information on anisole

  • Biomimetic model high-valent porphyrins showed reduction rates with variously 4-substituted N,N-dialkylanilines that were consistent with a positively charged intermediate; such relationships were not seen for anisole O-demethylation with P450 2B1 [3].
  • The fluorescence of one of the derivatives can be efficiently quenched by the presence of electron-rich compounds such as triphenylamines, phenol or anisole, which make them very promising compounds for sensor applications [4].
  • It is also shown that the product distribution for the alkylation of anisole shows significant pressure dependence with substitution at the ortho-position being favored at lower pressures, which is ascribed to hydrogen bonding [5].
  • The hydrogenation of arenes containing functional groups, such as anisole, by the [Ir(0)](n) nanoparticles occurs with concomitant hydrogenolysis of the C-O bond, suggesting that these nanoparticles behave as "heterogeneous catalysts" rather than "homogeneous catalysts" [6].
  • A mechanistic study of the FeO+-mediated decomposition pathways of phenol, anisol, and their thio analogues [7].
 

Biological context of anisole

 

Anatomical context of anisole

  • Effect of oxygen concentration on the metabolic pathway of anisole in rat liver microsomes [13].
  • Some odors (e.g., amyl acetate and anisole) produced increased responses in the epithelium of the lateral recesses when flow rates or sniff durations were high [14].
  • The effect of the antioxidant, butylated hydroxy anisole, on peroxide-induced and spontaneous activity of the uterus from the pregnant rat [15].
 

Associations of anisole with other chemical compounds

  • Kinetic studies in dioxane-water (4:1, v/v) at 60-90 degrees C have revealed that the folded backbone of the oligomers was, like the rigidified spherand, able to complex Li+, Na+, and K+ and, consequently, accelerated the hydrolysis of the nitro-appended anisole unit of the foldamers [10].
  • Palladium-catalyzed coupling of the dibromo derivative afforded the disubstituted phenyl, anisole, and acetylene derivatives, while reduction of the dinitro derivative and acetylation provided amino-dione and amide-hydroxyl derivatives [16].
  • On the other hand, tert-butyl methyl ether and anisole fail to form stable boron trichloride adducts and the corresponding ether-cleaved products are obtained [17].
  • The present polyoxoanion-stabilized Rh(0) nanoclusters also display a record, albeit modest, 30% selectivity for the partial hydrogenation of anisole to 1-methoxycyclohexene with an overall yield of up to 8% at higher temperatures [18].
  • Oxidation was monitored using HPLC and the fluorescence properties of Triton N-101 and other alkylphenol ethoxylate detergents, which are similar to those of anisole [19].
 

Gene context of anisole

  • N-(4-Methoxyphenylazoformyl)-L-phenylalanine is efficiently cleaved by the enzyme bovine carboxypeptidase A into fragments anisole, molecular nitrogen, carbonate, and phenylalanine, in the course of which an intense spectral absorption of the substrate (epsilon350 = 19,000 M-1 cm-1) disappears completely [20].
  • Subsequent resin cleavage and deprotection of the phosphorylated peptide resins was effected by treatment with 5% anisole: TFA and gave the seven phosphopeptides in high yield and purity [21].
  • Modulatory influence of arecanut on antioxidant 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy anisole-induced hepatic detoxification system and antioxidant defence mechanism in mice [22].
  • Synthetic procedures for CKII substrate peptides often result in anisole adducts and dehydrated forms [23].
  • The use of anisole as an additive in the HF resin/peptide cleavage was rejected because anisole was found to undergo electrophilic substitution of the dibromoindole nucleus; a modified HF deprotection/cleavage procedure was developed and used instead [24].
