چکیده
The bearing of lipid solubilities and substantivities of dyes on the results of cytochemical staining reactions is briefly discussed. Solubilities of indigoid dyes in various lipids are qualitatively similar to those in symtetrachloroethane. Quantitative determinations made in this solvent indicate that, in general, indigo and its 5:5'and 6:6'-substituted derivatives are sparingly soluble, whereas the corresponding 4:4'and 7:7'-substituted dyes are relatively very soluble. The enhanced solubilities of the latter dyes are consistent with the hypothesis that the substituents interfere with edge-to-edge hydrogen-bonded association otherwise present in indigo and its 5:5'and 6:6'-substituted derivatives. This hypothesis is supported by mutually consistent results given by solubility, melting point and infra-red spectrographic studies. Indigoid dyes possessing small substituents in the 4:4'-position, such as 4:4'-dichloro-indigo, are highly substantive and therefore potentially of great value when formed in cytochemical staining reactions.

Quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRRs) are used to correlate paper chromatographic retention factors of disperse dyes with theoretical molecular descriptors. A data set of 23 compounds with known RF values was used. The genetic algorithm-multiple linear regression analysis (GA-MLR) with three selected theoretical descriptors was obtained. The stability and predictability of the ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic, Thermodynamic and Molecular Docking Studies on Interaction of Toxic Azo Dye with Bovine Serum Albumin
Investigation on interaction of azo dyes with bovine serum albumin as carrier protein will be important in the field of toxicology because of distribution and transportation of dyes in blood. In this regard, the interaction between the azo dye, trisodium (4E)-3-oxo-4-[(4- sulfonato-1- naphthyl) hydrazono] naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate (C20H11N2Na3O10S3), known as Amaranth and bovine serum albumin...
متن کاملSolubility of Cyproterone Derivatives in the Presence of Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin: Experimental and Molecular Modeling Studies
This study presents the influence of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) on the aqueous solubility of acyl esters of cyproterone. First, a number of esters of cyproterone were synthesized. Then the phase solubility analysis of the compounds in the presence of HPBCD was investigated in phosphate buffer solution at a pH of 7.4. To gain a better understanding of the complexation mechanism, ...

This paper reports the synthesis of 14 diazophthalocyanins containing Mg, Cu, or Pb as the chelated metal. To assess the usefulness of these compounds for fine structural cytochemistry, the relative coupling rates with naphthols were tested as well as the solubility of the resulting azo dyes. Three of the diazotates were reacted with tissue proteins in aldehyde-fixed material, and the density i...
