A series of 25, 60, 75 and 100 mol% zinc substituted for calcium ionomer glasses of the composition 4.5SiO2–3Al2O3–1.5P2O5–3CaO–2CaF2 were produced following a well-established melt quench route. Similar glass compositions have been widely used in dentistry as the glass component in glass io...

Rare-earth ions doped oxide glasses became prospective for high quality and inexpensive solid state laser development. To fulfill this need, zinc-sulfo-boro-phosphate glasses doped with holmium ions (Ho3+) were synthesized via melt-quenching method. Prepared glasses were characterized using dive...

It is well documented that biological hydroxyapatite (HA) differs from pure and synthetically produced HA, and contains of a mixture of calcium phosphate (CaP) phases in addition to a range of impurity ions, such as strontium (Sr2+), zinc (Zn2+), magnesium (Mg2+), fluoride (F-) and carbonate(CO3...

A bone-filler is expected to accomplish diverse purposes such as osteoblastogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and anti-bacterial activity. Taken into consideration of the potent antibacterial activity of certain trace elements, in present study, the effect of Zn-doping in tricalcium silicate cement is...

In recent years, silicate based bioceramics have drawn much attention because of its biocompatibility and high bio-degradability. In the present study, 0.25 and 0.5 wt% zinc doped magnesium silicate (MgS) ceramics were prepared by solid state synthesis and sintering at 1200 °C for 2 h. In vitro...

8-(3,4-Dimethoxystyryl)-1,3-dipropyl-7-methylxanthine exhibited high affinity and selectivity for adenosine A2A receptors in binding assay using rat striatal A2A receptors labeled with [3H2-[p-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenethylamino]-5′-N-ethylcarboxamido- adenosine (CGS21680). The affinity was stereo ...

2-(p-Iodophenyl)-3(p-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride (INT) accepts electrons from dehydrogenase enzymes and is reduced to a red-colored formazan (INTF), which can be quantified by colorimetric analysis. Use of previously published methods for this technique was unsuccessful due to bac...

Go 6976 is an indolocarbazole ATP-competitive inhibitor of …

Ultrasonic-assisted, catalyst-free reactions of ninhydrin with ethyl cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate led to the unprecedented formation of an indenopyran and a spiroindenofuran viz. diethyl 4-cyano-2-hydroxy-5-oxo-4,5-dihydroindeno[1,2-b]pyran-3,4-dicarboxylate 1 and diethyl 3a′,8b′-dihydrox...

This paper presents a series of oligofluorenes mainly based on 9,9-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene units whose rigid core has been extended with 4-fluorobenzene termini. Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra, and cyclic voltammogra...

A series of novel N1-amino-acid substituted 2,4,5-triphenyl imidazoline derivatives was designed and synthesized based on our previous studies. All synthesized target compounds were screened for their p53–MDM2 binding inhibitory activities and anti-proliferative activities against five cancer c...

The synthesis of 7-substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamides was studied. First, methyl 7-hydroxypyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylate (5) was prepared in three steps from methyl 5-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (3). Treatment of 5 with POCl3 gave the highly reactive 7-chloro deriv...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a commonly used flavour enhancer in households, catering and food production. Recently it has been highlighted as a suspected dietary obesogen in epidemiological studies indicating a link between MSG consumption and weight gain. Additionally, animal studies have sho...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is one of the most widely used flavor enhancers throughout the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the genotoxic potential of MSG by using chromosome aberrations (CAs), sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs), cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus (CBMN), and random am...

Obesity and overweight have increased at an alarming rate in the world during the last three decades. Obesity is a crucial factor in the development of metabolic abnormalities, including glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress. A s...

The present study aims to investigate the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) both separately and combined with a low dose of methylmercury (MeHg) on behavioral and biochemical parameters in Nauphoeta cinerea (lobster cockroach). Cockroaches were fed with the basal diet alone, basal diet + 2% N...

In order to investigate the synergistic effect between umami peptides and monosodium glutamate (MSG), a new assessment method was established using electronic tongue. After 36 kinds of umami peptides synthesized by peptide solid phase synthesis, their taste characteristics were preliminarily exp...

In this study, the results relating to the thermodynamic properties of (NaBr + monosodium aspartate + water) system were studied using the potentiometric method at T = (298.2 and 310.2)K and P = 0.1 MP.
