Synthetic studies on pseudo-sugars.

Kinetic Studies on Caramelisation of Reducing Sugars

Synthetic studies on pseudo-dimeric Lycopodium alkaloids: total synthesis of complanadine B.

Complanadines A and B (1 and 2, Scheme 1) are dimeric Lycopodium alkaloids from the lycodine family that possess significant activity for stimulating nerve growth factor (NGF) production in human glial cells. 2] As such, 1 and 2 are of interest as potential small-molecule leads for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer s disease, as well as adjuvants for the regeneratio...

Studies on acrosome labelling of mammalian spermatozoa by radioactive sugars.

The localization of glycoprotein synthesis and storage was studied during acrosome formation in guinea-pig using fine-structure autoradiography after (3H)-fucose incorporation. Three days after (3H)-fucose injection, labelling in spermatids was concentrated in the matrix of developing acrosomes, and it was evident that the fucosylation of acrosomal glycoproteins largely overshadowed the fucosyl...

Synthetic studies on leupeptins and their analogs.

Leupeptins, fermentation products of various strains of Actinomycetes^ showed strong antiplasmin activity2) and were identified as being a mixture of two major components, leupeptin Ac-LL (acetyl-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-DL-argininal, 1) and leupeptin Pr-LL (propionyl-L-leucyl-L-leucyl-DL-argininal, 2), and their analogs containing isoleucine or valine in place of one or two leucine residues of 1 or 2...

Studies on sintering process of synthetic hydroxyapatite.

In this study the effect of sintering process in different temperatures on microstructure and morphological properties of sintered hydroxyapatite (HAp) was investigated. HAp powder was prepared by wet precipitation method from following reagents: Ca(OH)2 + H3PO4 in an alkaline conditions. Thermal analysis (TA), X-Ray diffraction method (XRD), FT-IR spectrometry (FT-IR) and scanning electron mic...
