Publisher SummaryThis chapter provides the basic synthesis paths routes for the manufacture of oxadiazon, with a listing of the main raw materials and intermediates used in the synthesis of oxadiazon. Oxadiazon is commercially known as Ronstar and it belongs to the oxadiazolone group.

The potential impact of agricultural pesticides is a major concern with regard to biodiversity conservation. Pesticides are considered as one of the main causes of the worldwide decline of Amphibians. They are rarely used singly, but their cumulative impact and interaction are often neglected, a...

The toxic effects of butachlor and oxadiazon, widely used herbicides in South Korea were evaluated in the common carp Cyprinus carpio. Fingerlings of C. carpio were exposed to 0.5, 5 and 50 µg L-1 concentrations of herbicides for 96 h under static bioassay method and hematological and biochemic...

Exposure to herbicides can induce long-term chronic adverse effects such as respiratory diseases, malignancies and neurodegenerative diseases. Oxadiazon, a pre-emergence or early post-emergence herbicide, despite its low acute toxicity, may induce liver cancer and may exert adverse effects on re...

The molecular basis for membrane association of pp60v-src, the transforming protein of Rous sarcoma virus, was investigated in a cell-free system. Newly synthesized pp60v-src polypeptide, produced by in vitro translation of src mRNA, rapidly bound to plasma membranes. Binding was saturable and d...

A variety of compounds was tested for effect on peritoneal dialysis of salicylate. They were compared by means of apparent rate constants obtained via analysis of plasma and dialysate curves with an analog computer. One combination of substances, anthranilic acid 1% and N-myristyl-β-aminopropio...

A combination of anthranilic acid (1%) and N-myristyl-β-aminopropionic acid (0.25%), which had been previously found to accelerate peritoneal dialysis of salicylate, was found also to accelerate the removal of diphenylhydantoin, phenobarbital, pentobarbital, and amobarbital. N-Myristyl-β-amino...

A single short-term exposure of the peritoneal membrane to N-myristyl-β-aminopropionic acid solution (0.25%) gave an accelerating effect on the peritoneal clearance of salicylate, barbiturate, and diphenylhydantoin, which lasted throughout several subsequent exchanges with standard dialysis flu...

A novel IPN type chelating resin, amino-functionalized poly (glycidyl methacrylate)/poly (acrylic acid), (pGMA/pAA), was synthesized by a combination of serial reactions including, conventional radical polymerization, amination and photopolymerization. To assess the efficacy and characteristics ...

New complexes of zinc(II) methacrylate of the general formula [C15H26N2Zn(C4H5O2)2] where [C15H26N2] is a sparteine or α-isosparteine have been obtained by direct synthesis using zinc salt and an appropriate alkaloid. The compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometr...

The preparation and characterization of a commercial biomedical-grade polyurethane (Tecophilic®, SP-93A-100) material possessing covalently linked copper(II)–cyclen moieties as a nitric oxide (NO) generating polymer are described. Chemiluminescence NO measurements demonstrate that the prepared ...

A neutral ligand L is prepared by condensation of benzil dihydrazone and acetone in 1:2 mol ratio and used for the syntheses of [CuL2]ClO4, [CuL2]PF6, [AgL2]ClO4 and [AgL2]PF6. The X-ray crystal structures of L and the two perchlorate salts have been determined. The metal complexes are found to ...

Experimental design has been applied to consider any possible interaction between process parameters with fewer experiments as well as to create a response model influenced by several factors and to optimize the response. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM), which is cost-effective...

Drug/metal ion complexes exhibit improved antimicrobial activity and intercalating the above complexes into the interlayer of clay endows a long-term and controlled-release behavior. In this study, chlorhexidine was first complexed with copper (II) ion and then intercalated into the interlayer o...

The X-ray crystal structure of the title copper(II) complex has been determined and shows that the complex is mononuclear with distorted square pyramidal coordination from two monodentate carboxylates, a bidentate bipyridiyl and one aquo ligands.

Present work reports the synthesis of a polymer nanocomposite film of nano-sized Zinc Oxide and Polymethyl-methacrylate and its application in the museums and art galleries for absorbing ultra-violet radiations falling on the objects which are vulnerable to it. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles were ...

In this study, imprinted polymers based on copper imprinted poly(allylthiourea) synthesized in acetonitrile (ACN) (Cu2+)-IIP(ACN) or ethanol (EtOH) (Cu2+)-IIP(EtOH) and the effect of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the surface of polymers towards simultaneous...

Traces of certain heavy metals are crucial for the metabolism of living beings, but poisoning occurs when their concentration increases. On the other hand, heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium lack functionality in higher organisms, resulting in considerable toxicity. Their long-term ...

A gas chromatographic assay for the determination of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and 5,6-dihydrofluorouracil (FDHU) is described. The selectivity and sensitivity of the method allows the determination of both 5-FU and FDHU in 200 μl of plasma. Diphenylsuccinimide and chlorouracil were used as externa...

The interaction between chlorin e6 (Ce6) and human serum albumin (HSA) in the presence and absence of ultrasound have been investigated by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Ce6 is found to bind strongly to HSA at or near physiological pH conditions, but t...
