A number of racemic halogen-substituted 2-aryloxypropionic acids, most of which have not yet been resolved, were examined by HPLC on an ergot alkaloid-based chiral stationary phase (CSP). baseline enantiomeric separations were obtained with a selectivity factor (α) within the range 1.06–1.7, t...

High dielectric constant (high-k) polymeric materials suitable for electromechanical transducers should meet the requirements of low dielectric loss. This work introduced a ternary nanocomposite with acrylate elastomer (AE) as matrix, and chemically reduced graphene oxides (G) and poly(ionic liq...

Additives are very crucial in any paint formulation, as they play a significant role during various stages, when incorporated in a small amount. This additive exhibit unique molecular architecture which could be achieved by living radical polymerization, i.e., ATRP, RAFT, and NMP. An amphiphilic...

Herein, we describe the fabrication of novel super-tough ternary blends by simple melt compounding of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (EGMA). The occurrence of reactions between the above three constituents was eviden...

This study reports the characterization of disperse red 1 acrylate compound by spectral techniques and quantum chemical calculations. The spectroscopic properties were analyzed by FT-IR, UV–vis, 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques. FT-IR spectrum in solid state was recorded in the region 4000–400 cm...

A series of core–shell pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) containing a poly(n-butyl-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate) shell copolymer were synthesized via a multi-step emulsion process. The weight ratio of n-butyl acrylate (BA) to 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) was manipulated to vary the PSA propertie...

Meagre and suboptimal therapeutic response along with the side effect profile associated with the existing anticancer therapy have necessitated the development of new therapeutic modalities to curb this disease. Bearing in mind the current scenario, a series of 1,2,3-triazole linked 3-(1,3-diphe...

ZnO quantum dots, QDs (5 nm diameter) by their photogenerated charge carriers clearly influence the degradation of the acrylate host matrix, under conditions simulating solar light. As a result, QDs undergo a partial quenching of their fluorescence. To rationalize this influence, the investigati...

N-((5-chloropyridin-2-yl)carbamothioyl)furan-2-carboxamide (HL: C11H8ClN3O2S) and its Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR,1H NMR and HR-MS methods. The HL was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. It crys...

The peroxidatic degradation of kaempferol was studied at pH 5·5 under UV-spectrophotometric control. The reaction products obtained after incubation of kaempferol (dissolved in ethylene glycol monomethylether) with peroxidase (Boehringer, Mannheim)/H2O2 were fractionated in preparative scale by...

A simple and rapid method is described for enantioselective discrimination of menthone enantiomers in peppermint oil samples. The method includes a quick and simple preparation procedure, followed by achiral liquid chromatography with circular dichroism detection (ALC-CD) with an on-line penicil...

Danshu capsule (DSC) is a medicinal compound in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is commonly used for the treatment of acute & chronic cholecystitis as well as choleithiasis. To study its choleretic effect, healthy rats were randomly divided into DSC high (DSCH, 900 mg/kg), medium (DSCM, 4...

The base-free transfer hydrogenation (THR) of menthone with six aliphatic alcohols as hydrogen source has been developed under sub- and supercritical conditions. Under sc conditions (at 350 °C and 78–210 atm) without any catalyst, all alcohols demonstrated the similar H-donor activity, which w...

The antipsychotic drug, bromperidol, is a close structural analogue of haloperidol. These two drugs also have similarities in metabolic pathways and pharmacological properties. In the present study, the prolactin concentrations in plasma during bromperidol versus haloperidol treatments were comp...

1.1.The case of a schizophrenic patient taking bromperidol (18 mg/day), whose psychotic symptoms deteriorated markedly after addition of cisapride (7.5 mg/day), is presented.2.2. Retrospective determination of drug concentrations revealed that plasma concentrations of bromperidol and its reduced...

1.1. The authors studied the effects of coadministration of desipramine, which is a substrate of CYP2D6, on plasma concentrations of bromperidol and its reduced metabolite (reduced bromperidol). Clinical changes were also evaluated by the CGI and UKU.2.2. The subjects were 13 schizophrenic inpat...

As the number of hospitalized and immunocompromised patients continues to rise, invasive fungal infections, such as invasive candidiasis and aspergillosis, threaten the life of millions of patients every year. The azole antifungals are currently the most prescribed drugs clinically that display ...

Resmethrin, phenothrin, and fenvalerate are the synthetic pyrethroids that have been used widely against groundling or flying insect pests both indoors and outdoors. In this study, the heterogeneous reactions of the three pyrethroid particles with NO3 radicals are investigated with a mixed-phase...

In this paper, a method for the determination of mercury in phosphate fertilizers using slurry sampling and cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CV QT AAS) is proposed. Because mercury (II) ions form strong complexes with phosphor compounds, the formation of metallic mercury vapor requires...

We used calcium carbonate-enriched clay minerals (CECM) and diammonium phosphate (DAP) as immobilization agents for mercury (Hg) immobilization. The effects of CECM, DAP, or both in different amounts and ratios, as well as pH and initial Hg concentrations, on Hg removal from solutions were inves...
