As a chronic infectious disease, periodontitis is the main cause of teeth exfoliation due to its severe inflammatory reaction and periodontal tissue destruction. Recent reports have shown that baicalin could inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway in inflammatory activity of periodontitis, but the ...

A degradation study of quizalofop-p and its commercial products (quizalofop-p-ethyl, quizalofop-p-tefuryl and propaquizafop) in water samples has been performed using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS). CHHQ (dihydroxychloroquin...

Eleven barnyardgrass populations were assayed. The highest resistant population was Geqiushan R with RI 125.45 resulted from the seed assay and 87.29 resulted from the whole plant bioassay followed by 853 R with RI 2.79 resulted from the seed assay and 6.04 resulted from the whole plant bioassay...

Intercropping is an effective strategy to maximize production potential, profits, and land use efficiency. Sowing winter rapeseed in rice fields is a common cultivation technique in the Yangtze River basin in China, which is the world’s largest region for rapeseed production. However, the 10–1...

A convenient fluorescence quenching method for determination of Quizalofop-p-ethyl(Qpe) was proposed in this paper. Eosin Y(EY) is a red dye with strong green fluorescence (λex/λem = 519/540 nm). The interaction between EY, Pd(II) and Qpe was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, resonanc...

The diatom Nitzschia laevis is a good alternative source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Besides strategies for high cell density culture, EPA productivity may be further improved by herbicides. The effect of the herbicide quizalofop-p-ethyl on the growth and EPA production is studied in this ar...

The herbicide Quizalofop-P-ethyl (QpE) exerts toxic effects in fish, but limited information is currently available on its effects on the endocrine system. In the current study, adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to different concentrations (0, 2, 20, 200 μg/L) of QpE for 30 days. In ma...

A natural consortium, named L1, of Rhodococcus sp. JT-3 and Brevundimonas sp. JT-9 was obtained from quizalofop-p-ethyl (QE) polluted soil. The consortium was able to use QE as a sole carbon source for growth and degraded 100 mg L−1 of QE in 60 h. Strain JT-3 initiated the catabolism of QE to qu...

Use and thus exposure to quizalofop-p-ethyl, isoxaflutole, mesotrione and glyphosate, which are declared as active principles in commercial formulations of herbicides, is predicted to rapidly increase in coming years in an effort to overcome the wide-spread appearance of glyphosate-resistant wee...

Quizalofop-P-ethyl (QE) is a selective, systemic, post-emergence aryloxyphenoxy propanoate (AOPP) herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grassy weeds in a variety of crops. An efficient QE-degrading bacterial strain, QE-9, was isolated from a QE-manufacturing facility in China and ide...

The 7-[di(prop-2-ynl)amino]prop-1-ynyl derivative of 8-aza-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine (1) was synthesized from 7-iodo-8-aza-7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine (7) by Sonogashira cross-coupling and converted into the phosphoramidite building block 10. Oligonucleotides bearing branched side chains with te...

Oligonucleotides incorporating the propynyl derivative of 7-deaza-2′-deoxyguanosine (1) were synthesized by solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. As building blocks the phosphoramidites 7a,b were prepared. The incorporation of 1 into oligonucleotides exerts a positive effect on the DNA duplex ...

Aiming to explore novel BRAFV600E and VEGFR-2 dual inhibitors, a series of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives were designed, synthesized and biologically evaluated in this study. Most of the synthesized 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine compounds displayed moderate to high potent activity in bo...

Janus kinases (JAKs) regulate various cancers and immune responses and are targets for the treatment of cancers and immune diseases. A new series of 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amino derivatives were synthesized and optimized by introducing a functional 3,5-disubstituted-1H-pyrazole moiety int...

A novel series of 4,6-disubstituted pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines (7–43) bearing various anilines at C-4 position and thiophenethyl or thiopentane moieties at C-6 position have been designed and synthesized by molecular hybridization approach. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vi...

2-(piperazin-1-yl)N-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl)acetamides are described as a new class of selective and potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and amyloid β aggregation inhibitors. Formation of synthesized compounds (P1P9) was justified via H1 NMR, C13 NMR, mass spectra and single c...

Coronary Artery Toxicity in Beagle Dogs Given Indolidan, a Type III Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor. Sandusky, G. E., Means, J. R., and Yeager, H. K. (1993). Fundam. Appl.
