Several lipases were used for the kinetic resolution of the racemic cis- and trans-isomers of 2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexanol, by lipase-mediated esterification of the substrates to the corresponding acetate isomers. Conversion of the products and the remaining deracemized substrates into diaste...

Irrigation water shortage and restricted water access is considered as one of the major constrains on the development of the horticultural crops industry, hence developing water-wise cultivation strategies in horticultural crops became vital. In this study we aimed to evaluate the morphological ...

Trinexapac-ethyl (TE) has been used for lodging control and seed yield enhancement in several grass seed crop species but little is known about how this plant growth regulator (PGR) performs in tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Shreb.) Dumort.]. The objective of this study was to determine ...

Drought stress is the major limiting factor which affects turfgrass management in area with restricted rainfall or irrigation water supply. Trinexapac ethyl (TE), Paclobutrazol (PAC) and Abscisic acid (ABA) are three plant growth regulators (PGRs) that are commonly used on turf species for incre...

Application of trinexapac-ethyl (TE) plant growth regulator (PGR) for lodging control in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is a widespread practice, but information on how this PGR increases yield is limited. The objective of this study was to determine how TE application rate and timing in...

Chemical ripeners cause growth suppression, thus increasing sucrose accumulation in sugarcane by lowering the growth sink demand for sucrose. Trinexapac-ethyl (Moddus®), the most recent chemical to be introduced as a ripener with a hormonal mechanism, inhibits production of the plant hormone gib...

The positive effects of trinexapac-ethyl (TE) on turfgrass growth and tolerance to various types of stress could promote its use in low-input maintenance turfgrasses to reduce the expense associated with mowing. However, there is a general lack of information about TE effects in low maintenance ...

Bacterial etiolation, caused by Acidovorax avenae and Xanthomonas translucens, has become a widespread problem in turfgrass throughout the U.S. Various management tactics are used in managing this disease and differ among turfgrass managers. The use of biostimulants and trinexapac-ethyl (TE) has...

A series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical dyes with different polymethine chain lengths based on the 2,2-difluoro-1,3,2-(2H)-dioxaborine of 3-aceto-4-hydroxy-7-diethylaminocoumarin were obtained. It was shown that anionic symmetrical dyes are deeply coloured and highly intense dyes with good flu...

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3’s), whether from fish oils, flax or supplements, can protect against cardiovascular disease. Finding plant-based sources of the essential ω-3’s could provide a sustainable, renewable and inexpensive source of ω-3’s, compared to fish oils. Our objecti...

Electropolymerization of 3,5-bis(4-bromophenyl)dithieno[3,2-b;2′,3′-d]thiophene, having a mild electron-withdrawing bromine atom attached to the para position of the two phenyl groups of dithienothiophene, was performed, utilizing a potentiodynamic method. The resultant homopolymer was charact...

Synthesis of new disazo indole dyes (3a–3m) was carried out by diazotization of 5-amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1H-pyrazoles (2a–2m) and coupling with 2-phenyl indole. The newly synthesized 12 disperse disazo dyes were characterized by UV–vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. Their solvatochr...

A series of novel 2′-[(2″,4″-difluorobiphenyl-4-yl)carbonyl]-1′-aryl-1′,2′,5′,6′,7′,7a′-hexahydrospiro[indole-3,3′-pyrrolizin]-2(1H)-ones were regioselectively synthesized by multicomponent reaction with excellent yield. They were characterized by elemental analysis and various spectr...

The present study describes the influence of ring and ring size of three 3-amino alkylated indoles (AAIs) namely, N-((1H-indol-3-yl)(phenyl)methyl)-N-ethylethanamine (AAI-1), 3-(phenyl(pyrrolidin-1-yl)methyl)-1H-indole (AAI-2) and 3-(phenyl(piperidin-1-yl)methyl)-1H-indole (AAI-3) on mild steel ...

An appropriate method for the synthesis of 5-aryl-9-hydroxypyrano[3,2-f]indole-2(8H)-one was described. The targeted compounds were obtained starting from vanillin via nine steps. Interestingly, in the final cyclization step, the intermediate 4-(2-halogeno phenyl)-7-methoxy-1H-indole-6-yl propio...

Publisher SummaryThis chapter presents the synthesis, chemistry, and preparative applications of monosaccharide isothiocyanates and thiocyanates. The ability of the isothiocyanate group to participate in nucleophilic reaction provides an attractive approach to nucleoside analogs and other nitrog...

The reaction of glutathione (GSH) with metabolically-formed N-methyl-4-aminoazobenzene-N-sulfate (MAB-N-sulfate), a presumed ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene (DAB), was investigated using a hepatic sulfotransferase incubation mixture containing GSH and the proxi...

3,4-(±)-Methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-(±)-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) are serotonergic neurotoxicants. However, when injected directly into brain, MDA and MDMA are not neurotoxic, suggesting that systemic metabolism plays an important role in the development of neurotoxicity...

Reactive metabolites have been suggested to play a role in the idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity observed with diclofenac (DF). By structural identification of the GSH conjugates formed after P450-catalyzed bioactivation of DF, it was shown that three types of reactive intermediates were formed: p-be...

1,3-Dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) but not 1,2-dinitrobenzene (1,2-DNB) or 1,4-dinitrobenzene (1,4-DNB) is a potent testicular toxicant in rats. In vitro metabolism studies have established that 1,3-DNB is reduced to 3-nitrosonitrobenzene (3-NNB), 3-nitrophenylhydroxylamine (3-NP) and 3-nitroaniline (...
