A total of 57 phenolic acids including nine methyl ester of mono-, di-caffeoylq...

Methyl-1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazole carbamate (benomyl) is a systemic fungicide which has been implicated in producing damage to the testes. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the functional and behavioral significance of this reported benomyl-induced damage to male rats ...

The synthesis and biological activity of novel 1-phenylsulfonyl-4- phenylsulfonylaminopyrrolidine analogues are described. All compounds were produced through modification of the substituent formally corresponding to the 1,3-dioxane ring system and the ω-octenol side chain of thromboxane A2 (TX...

A novel magnetic heterogeneous nanocatalyst CoFe2O4@SiO2@NH-NH2-PCuW was synthesized and characterized. This powerful catalyst possesses Brønsted and Lewis acid properties. The presence of Cu enhances the acidity of this catalyst because of the increase in the electron deficiency of polyoxometal...

BackgroundWhen, and on whom, aspirin should be ceased prior to elective cardiac surgery is controversial. This study assessed the incidence of preoperative aspirin resistance, and whether the quantitative antiplatelet effect of aspirin was associated with perioperative outcomes.

Tequila elaboration leaves two main byproducts that are undervalued (bagasse and leaves). Organosolv pulping and Total Chlorine Free bleaching were integrated to obtain cellulose fibers from agricultural waste which consisted of blue agave bagasse and leaf fibers; together they represent a green...

Two novel dendrimer-like blue-emitting dinuclear cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes, namely (DNaTPA)2DBF(FIrpic)2 and (DPyTPA)2DBF(FIrpic)2, have been successfully synthesized and characterized. In which FIrpic is an iridium (III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C2′]picolate blue-emitt...

The present work was aimed at evaluating the adsorption properties of methylene blue dye and phenol by activated carbons derived from pyrolysis tyre powder. The activation was carried out under CO2 at 1000 °C for 2 h. The activated carbon (AC10-2) was demineralized using H2F2 (AC-Demi), followe...

Zn2SnO4/SnO2 and ZnO/SnO2 biphasic nanocatalysts have been synthesized by a facile solvothermal method using ethylene glycol (EG) as solvent in three different ways maintaining the pH of the solution at either 3 or 9 followed by calcination at 700 °C. The nanocatalysts are characterized by diff...

Soils contaminated with dyes were collected and screened for obtaining potential fungal strains for the degradation of azo dyes. A strain that demonstrated broad spectrum ability for catabolizing different azo dyes viz. Acid Red 183 (AR 183), Direct Blue 15 (DB 15) and Direct Red 75 (DR 75) at 1...

Erbin has been shown to have significant effects on the development of solid tumors. However, little is known about its function and regulatory mechanism in hematological malignancies. The biological function of Erbin on cell proliferation was measured in vitro and in vivo. The predicted target ...

The divalent metal complexes of Be, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg, Pb, and Mg with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetyl-pyrazolone-5, (HPMTFP) have been prepared for the first time. The metal complexes were characterized by means of elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, proton NMR and i.r. spec...

Carrier-free production of 199Au from neutron irradiated platinum is reported employing 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetyl-pyrazolone-5 as an extractant. Possible uses and applications of 199Au in medicine are also discussed.

Extraction of the trivalent actinides Am, Cm and Cf and lanthanides Eu, Tb, Tm and Lu has been studied with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetyl pyrazolone- 5(HPMTFP) in chloroform and benzene. The formation of a self-adduct species M(PMTFP)3·HPMTFP has been observed with Am, Cm and Eu but only ...

An efficient and benign method for the preparation of aminomethyl-substituted fullerenes has been developed.
