In an unexpected observation, the primary amine catalyzed reactions gave excellent yield and good to excellent stereoselectivity, while secondary amines were found to have little or no reactivity under similar reaction conditions.

This investigation is a part of our ongoing project, which aims to expand the scope of application of D-fructose-based thioureas. Under the optimized low-temperature reaction conditions, the corresponding adducts were obtained with good yield (up to 95%) and excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee).

In this experiment, we analysed the antioxidant property of the methanol extract of A. oleracea by hydroxyl radical-scavenging assay and hydrogen peroxide-scavenging assay. In both the scavenging assays, the plant extract showed free radical scavenging activities in a concentration-dependent manner. The cytotoxic property was also determined by MTT assay, which indicated a potential cytotoxic effect on cancer cell lines such as HeLa (ATCC® CCL-2TM) and V79 (ATCC® CCL-93TM) cells. Higher cytotoxicity was noticed on V79 with an IC50 of 54.341 µg/ml. The plant extract was only moderately toxic on HeLa. The results indicated that the plant contains important bioactive compounds having pharmacological properties.
