Bimetallic iron-copper nanoparticles (Fe-Cu-NPs) were used for decolorization of C. I. Reactive Black effluent. NPs were capped using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to prevent them from agglomeration. The NPs were characterized by particle size analysis, TEM, EDX, XRD, and zeta potential. Decoloriza...

A novel bacterium was isolated from the soil of Ichalkaranji textile industrial area. Through 16S rRNA sequence matching and morphological observation it was identified as Lysinibacillus sp. RGS. This strain has ability to decolorize various industrial dyes among which, it showed complete decolo...

Autochthonous bacteria associated with browning in moromi fermentation were investigated, isolated and characterised. By cultured plating, only Bacillus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were mainly observed. By reverse transcriptase-nested PCR-DGGE (RevT-nested PCR-DGGE), lactic acid bacteria (LAB) ...

The expression of phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) protein in transgenic plants confers tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate. To enable the characterization of PAT protein expressed in plants, it is necessary to obtain high purity PAT protein from the transgenic grain. Because transg...

A series of 2-amino-5-benzoyl-4-phenylthiazole derivatives was investigated in radioligand binding studies at adenosine receptor (AdoR) subtypes with the goal to obtain potent and A1-selective antagonists. Acylation of the 2-amino group was found to be crucial for high A1 affinity. The best comp...

The epidemic of loperamide abuse and misuse in the patients for the alternative to opioids has become an increasing worldwide concern and has led to considerations about the potential for drug-drug interactions between loperamide and other combined drugs, especially inhibitors of cytochrome P450...

Cationic polyamines, such as poly(ethyleneimines) (PEIs), may recommend themselves for antimicrobial applications as they can interact with microbial membranes resulting in their disruption. The purpose of the study was the assessment of biocompatibility and antibacterial activity of PEIs with d...

Dielectric Thermal Analysis (DETA) of a series of new thermoset obtained by click chemistry was performed. The new thermosets were obtained by a dual-curing process consisting in a first photochemical thiol-ene, followed by a thermal thiol-epoxy starting from an allyl-terminated hyperbranched po...

The fabrication of novel chemically cross-linked double network cryogels (DNC), with an abundant number of amine groups, based on chitosan (CS) cross-linked with glutaraldehyde (GA), as the first network, and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI), with a concentration up to 15% cross-linked with ethylenegly...

The article describes the influence of humidity on the surface photodielectric properties of papers prepared from poly(ethyleneimine)-TiO2 nanoparticles-anthocyanin modified cellulose fibres. The anthocyanins were extracted from purple cabbage, beet-root, plum peel, red wine and red currant juic...

Thin film composite (TFC) type nanofiltration (NF) membranes, comprising skin layers with variant crosslinked molecular architectures and pronounced positively charged surface features have been derived by in situ interfacial polymerization, employing quaternized branched poly(ethyleneimine)s of...

Electron-injection mechanisms from the air-stable metal-oxide cathode to light-emitting polymer layer are studied. The device configuration is aluminum (Al) doped zinc oxide (AZO)/poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)/poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene-alt-benzothiadiazole) (F8BT)/molybdenum trioxide/Al, known as an ...

A poly(ethyleneimine) embedded phenyl mixed-mode stationary phase was prepared through epoxide ring opening reaction. Elemental analysis (EA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize whether functional groups have been modifi...

UV and NIR-responsive monoolein cubic phase was prepared by including poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI)/cinnamic acid (CA) conjugate and gold nanoparticle (GNP) within its structure. UV irradiation elevated significantly the release % of Auramine O loaded in cubic phase containing PEI/CA, possibly becau...

There was a hope that highly reactive nanoparticles would strongly facilitate crosslinking in epoxy-amine systems. In this work, silica (SiO2) nanoparticles are physically modified with poly(ethyleneimine) as surface modifier. The SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and physically decorated with...

Boron removal is an important separation process which requires an excessive operational cost owing to the complex nature of boron in aqueous solutions. Polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF) has been widely adopted for boron separation due to the low operational cost and high separation produc...

New heterocyclic betaines, 4-aryl-5-(alkoxycarbonyl)-2-oxo-3-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-3-ides, were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of alkyl 2H-azirine-2-carboxylates with 2-methoxy-2-oxo-1-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl)ethan-1-ides, generated from the corresponding pyridinium ...

N-(6-(2-Methoxy-3-(4-fluorophenylsulfonamido)pyridin-5-yl)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-2-yl)acetamide exhibits remarkable anticancer effects and toxicity when orally administrated.
