Organic solvent of low log P value could be used to remove hemicellulose and lignin in bamboo shoot shell (BSS). Combination pretreatment with biocompatible butyl acetate (Log P = 1.7, 10 v%) and dilute sodium acetate (NaAc, 2 wt%) was chosen to pretreat BSS by autoclaving (110 °C, 40 min, pret...

The phenolic compounds of extracts from Ascophyllum nodosum (ANE), Bifurcaria bifurcata (BBE) and Fucus vesiculosus (FVE) from Galicia (NW Spain) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-diode array detection coupled to negative electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-DAD–ESI-MS/MS) ...

The influence of tyrosinase in catalyzes/stimulates the eumelanin production was studied. Accordingly, bacterial sp. was isolated and identified as Bacillus licheniformis based on 16S rRNA. It could grow and gave monophenolase and diphenolase productivity in medium contained tyrosin and Cu2+ onl...

SummaryBrown adipose tissue (BAT) is a promising target for anti-obesity interventions. This prospective test-retest study assessed the repeatability of several important quantitative BAT metrics. After cold activation, 24 subjects underwent positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography...

The extraction and antioxidant activity of phlorotannins from the brown seaweeds Carpophyllum flexuosum, Carpophyllum plumosum and Ecklonia radiata was investigated to identify an optimised extraction process for novel anti-oxidant extracts. Subsequently, the composition of the most active phlor...

Belgian red-brown acidic ales are sour and alcoholic fermented beers, which are produced by mixed-culture fermentation and blending. The brews are aged in oak barrels for about two years, after which mature beer is blended with young, non-aged beer to obtain the end-products. The present study e...

Propolis, a resin produced by bees, is widely used in industrial products, including food, cosmetics, supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Extracts (ethanolic and hydroethanolic) and fractions, yielded by accelerated solvent extraction methodology, were obtained from different samples of Brazilian ...

The aim of this work was to undertake a detailed analysis on chemical constituents of brown propolis, originating from four different states (Bahia, Minas Gerais, Paraná and Sergipe) of Brazil. The volatile profile was determined by using HS-SPME-GC–MS along with the determination of total phe...

First organosilicon captax derivatives were obtained from 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and 1-(iodomethyl)-1,1,3,3,3-pentamethyl-or 1,3-bis(iodomethyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxanes in the absence or in the presence of bases.

Growing cells of four fungal strains were used in reduction of 1-(benzoazol-2-ylsulfanyl)propan-2-ones 3a–c to corresponding (R)-(+)-1-(benzoazol-2-ylsulfanyl)propan-2-ols (R)-(+)-4a–c. All of the investigated yeast strains displayed a very high activity toward prochiral ketones 3a–c converti...

A study of chemoenzymatic synthesis of both enantiomers of 1-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)propan-2-ol was carried out. Several commercially available lipase preparations were tested as biocatalysts in the kinetic resolution process of target compound by enantioselective transesterification and...

1-(1,3-Benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)propan-2-ol (C10H10NS2OH, LH) was used as a multifunctional ligand in reactions with aluminum trialkyls R3Al (R = iBu, Et, tBu). The reactions at 1:1 M ratio of reagents proceeded with formation of dimeric (R2AlL)2 (R = iBu, Et) complexes with a central Al2O2 rin...

Herein, we report the design and synthesis of three novel binuclear platinum(II) complexes, [Pt(tpbtpy)Cl][Pt(DMSO)Cl3] (tpbtpy-Pt), [Pt(dthbtpy)Cl][Pt(DMSO)Cl3]⋅CH3OH (dthbtpy-Pt), and [Pt(qlbtpy)Cl][Pt(DMSO)Cl3]⋅CH3OH (qlbtpy-Pt) with 4′-(3-thiophenecarboxaldehyde)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (...

A series of the 3,7-diaryl-5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazines (17a–20f) have been synthesized in five steps. The cytotoxic activity of all of the newly synthesized compounds has been tested in vitro against five cancer cell lines. Several compounds demonstrated significan...
