1-naphthol (1N), 2-naphthol (2N) and 8-quinolinol (8H) are general water pollutants. 1N and 2N are the configurational enantiomers and 8H is isoelectronic to 1N and 2N. These pollutants when ingested are transported in the blood by proteins like human serum albumin (HSA). Binding of these pollutants to HSA has been explored to elucidate the specific selectivity of molecular recognition by this ...

The title compound, C(26)H(25)NO, was obtained via a one-pot synthesis from the reaction of 2-naphthol, 1-(p-tol-yl)ethyl-amine, p-toluene-sulfonic acid and benzaldehyde. There are three mol-ecules per asymmetric unit, all having similar conformations. There are intra-molecular O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with only van der Waals forces found between mol-ecules.

To test the hypothesis that o-hydroxy amines are proximate agents in chemical carcinogenesis paraffin pellets containing the hydrochlorides of 2-amino-l-fluorenol, 2-amino-3-fluorenol, 2-amino-5-fluorenol, 2-amino-7-fluorenol, 2-fluorenamine, and 1amino-2-naphthol were implanted into the urinary bladders of Swiss female mice. Paraffin pellets alone were implanted as controls. Histological exami...

In this study, we investigated the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–COOH) by 1-Amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANSA). The functionalized MWCNTs exhibited good aqueous solubility due to the presence of the –OH and – SO3H groups of ANSA. The antimicrobial activity of the MWCNT–COOH as well as its functionalized multiwall nanotube MWCNT-CO-2-(1-amino...

The popular colorimetric assay for urinary 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid based on the reaction with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol has been criticized for lack of specificity. Goldenberg (Clin. Chem. 19: 38-44, 1973) proposed a modification of this method, in which 2-mercaptoethanol is used to discharge unwanted chromophores. We compared results by both the unmodified and modified colorimetric methods wi...

In exposure or risk assessments, both environmental and biological measurements are often used. Environmental measurements are an excellent means for evaluating regulatory compliance, but the models used to estimate body burden from these measurements are complex. Unless all possible routes of exposure (i.e., inhalation, dermal absorption, ingestion) are evaluated, exposure to a toxicant can be...
