Introduction & Aim: Plant growth regulators (PGR) have same effect as natural plant's hormones and can change the main components in plant samples. Chaerophyllum aureum L. is related to Apiaceae family. Experimental: In this paper the qualitative and quantitative composition of the volatile oils of ‎Chaerophyllum aureum L. were reported after using different...

Enantiomerically pure mono-N-Boc-protected trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines are used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugate addition of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to maleimides. Using a single enantiomer of the organocatalyst, both enantiomeric forms of the resulting Michael adducts bearing a new quaternary stereocenter are obtained in high yields, only by changing the reaction so...

Primary amine-salicylamides derived from chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamines are used as organocatalysts for the enantioselective conjugate addition of α,α-disubstituted aldehydes to arylated and heteroarylated nitroalkenes. The reaction is performed in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine as an additive in dichloromethane as a solvent at room temperature. The corresponding enantioenriched...

BACKGROUND Invasive aspergillosis (IA) remains a leading cause of mortality in immunocompromised patients, in part due to the difficulty of diagnosing this infection. METHODS Using thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, we characterized the in vitro volatile metabolite profile of Aspergillus fumigatus, the most common cause of IA, and other pathogenic aspergilli. We prospect...

Supplementary dietary plant oils have the potential to alter milk fatty acid composition in ruminants as a result of changes in the amount and kind of fatty acid precursors. We hypothesized that linseed oil in combination with malate (a key propionate precursor in the rumen) would increase ∆9 unsaturated fatty acids and specific gene expression in somatic cells and mammary glands of lactating g...

BACKGROUND Exercise can lead to acute oxidative stress, which can result in oxidative damage and induce inflammation. Resveratrol may reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Thus, we investigated the effects of this compound on the plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in male professional basketball players. METHODS Twenty healthy male professional ba...

An electrochemical version of the Corey-Winter reaction was developed giving excellent results in aqueous methanol media (MeOH/H2O (80:20) with AcOH/AcONa buffer 0.5 M as supporting electrolyte), using a reticulated vitreous carbon as cathode in a divided cell. The electrochemical version is much more environmentally friendly than the classical reaction, where a large excess of trialkyl phosphi...

The global incidence of tuberculosis is increasing at an alarming rate, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent for tuberculosis, a disease with high mortality. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is one of the major components of the Mtb cellular envelope and is an attractive scaffold for developing anti-tubercular drugs, vaccines and diagnostics. Herein, a highly convergent strategy i...
