Two simple, selective and precise stability-indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatographic methods were developed and validated for the determination of mometasone furoate in two binary mixtures, with formoterol fumarate (Mixture 1) and salicylic acid (Mixture 2). Also, a forced degradation st...

Transparent, thermally stable, and semiaromatic poly(amide–imide)s were prepared from hydrogenated trimellitic anhydride chloride (h-TAC) with various aromatic diamines. The dependence of thermostability on the monomer sequence and terminal group was investigated. Thermogravimetric/differential...

Rhodymenia pseudopalmata lives in the intertidal zone receiving high doses of solar radiation, including the potentially harmful UVR. Previous studies proved it ability to adapt to different artificial light intensities and salinity concentrations. The aim of this study was to describe the diffe...

Naphthalene shows carcinogenic properties in animal experiments. As the substance is ubiquitary present in the environment and has a possibly high exposure at industrial workplaces, the determination of naphthalene metabolites in humans is of environmental–medical as well as occupational–medic...

The title compound was prepared as a racemate from (±)-mandelic acid-d5 in one step. The corresponding (−)-(R)-enantiomer (98% ee) was obtained by resolution with (−)-(R)-1-phenylethylamine and evaluated as a chiral solvating agent (CSA) for direct 1H NMR enantiomeric excess determination of me...

Neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate was polymerized in bulk in the presence of lauryl mercaptan as a chain transfer agent, the primary chain length being reduced to a comparable order in allyl polymerization, and the gelation behavior was compared with diallyl terephthalate (DAT) polymerization as a...

In this work, the solubility curves for the CO2 + neopentyl glycol diacrylate (NPGDA) and CO2 + neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate (NPGDMA) systems are measured in static method at five temperatures of (313.2, 333.2, 353.2, 373.2 and 393.2) K and pressures up to 25.28 MPa. Both CO2 + di(meth)acryla...

The possibility that a wide variety of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their derivatives are present in the environment necessitates detailed evaluation of their toxicities. A number of PCBs and monohydroxylated PCBs (OH-PCBs) have been reported to have affinities for several nuclear recept...

IntroductionIn this study, we describe development of a true matched-pair theranostic agent that is able to target the αVβ3 integrin and the gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). We herein describe methods to metallate and characterize the new conjugate and to validate its biological effi...

Predominant NH4+ nutrition causes an “ammonium syndrome” that induces metabolic changes and thereby provides resistance against Pseudomonas syringae infection through the activation of systemic acquired acclimation (SAA). Hence, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying NH4+-mediated SAA, the cha...

Publisher SummaryThis chapter discusses metabolic labeling of viral membrane lipids by fluorescent fatty acids. Enveloped virions introduce their nucleocapsid into eukaryotic host cells by two different routes, both of which are fusion-dependent. The fusion is mediated by envelope viral proteins...

The precipitation titrations of cadmium and mercury(II) as their iodo complexes vs cetylpyridinium chloride and tetraphenylarsonium chloride have been evaluated. Electromotive forces were monitored with a graphite rod coated with a solution of poly(vinylchloride) and dioctylphthalate in tetrahyd...

The 2,4-bis-thinocarbonate 3 of 1,6-anyhydro-D-glucose 1 can be transformed to the corresponding dideoxy compound 5 with diphenylsilane 7 as well as with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane 4 in a radical chain reaction.

2,4,6-Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyllithium (TbLi) gave a novel 1,3-silicon rearrangement product above −30 °C, while the treatment of TbLi with some electrophiles also afforded 1,3-silicon rearrangement products even at −78 °C probably via single electron transfer mechanism.

1H, 13C, 29Si, 77Se, 119Sn and 125Te NMR spectroscopies reveal that methyl, primary and secondary alkyl radicals, generated through the reaction of aryltelluroalkanes (4–9) with tributyltin hydride, tributylgermanium hydride or tris(trimethylsilyl)silane) under standard radical conditions (benz...

The sterically hindered organogermanium compounds (Me3Si)3CGeR2X (R = Me; X = Cl or I; R = Et, X = Br) have been prepared and their reactions examined. In contrast to the corresponding (Me3Si)3CSiR2X species, the germanium compounds undergo normal (though very slow) direct nucleophilic substitut...

The reactions of (THF)3LiSi(SiMe3)3 with Me3GeCl, Ph3GeCl and GeCl4 give R3GeSi(SiMe3)3, RMe (75%), Ph (79%) and Cl (20%), respectively. The products, colorless, crystalline solids, unreactive toward air except for Cl3GeSi(SiMe3)3 which is hygroscopic and rapidly hydrolyzed, were characterized...

We newly prepared lipopolyplexes containing N-lauroylsarcosine (LS) as a hybrid vector for pulmonary gene delivery via the systemic route. Lipopolyplexes were composed of polyethylenimine (PEI), N-[1-(2,3-dioleyloxy)propyl]-N,N,N-trimethlylammonium chloride (DOTMA), LS, and plasmid DNA (pDNA). T...

Illuminating the factors that influence the organic carbon content normalized sorption coefficient (Koc) of organoclays towards hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) is meaningful for predicting and optimizing the sorption capacity of organoclay. In this paper, the structures and sorption charact...

This work describes the preparation and properties of self-patterning porous films consisting of giant vesicles formed by a 2.5-nm-diameter, polyoxometalate (POM) cluster {Mo72Fe30} macroanion, and a double-tailed cationic surfactant dimethyldistearylammonium bromide (DODMABr) in CHCl3–CH3OH mi...
