A bioassay of 4-amino-2-nitrophenol for possible carcinogenicity was conducted by administering the test chemical in feed to Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. Groups of 50 rats and 50 mice of each sex were administered 4-amino-2-nitrophenol at one of two doses, either 1,250 or 2,500 ppm, for 103 weeks. Matched controls consisted of groups of 20 untreated rats and 20 untreated mice of each sex. ...

In this study, two new salicylideneaniline derivative compounds which are an isomer of each other have been synthesized and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique, IR spectroscopy, and theoretical method. While (E)-4-(dihydroxyamino)-2-(((4-fluorophenyl)imino) methyl)phenol (1), crystalizes triclinic P-1 space group, (E)-4-(dihydroxyamino)-2-(((3-fluorophenyl)im...

The inner surface of a metallic tube (i.d. 0.5 mm) was coated with a palladium (Pd)-based thin metallic layer by flow electroless plating. Simultaneous plating of Pd and silver (Ag) from their electroless-plating solution produced a mixed distributed bimetallic layer. Preferential acid leaching of Ag from the Pd-Ag layer produced a porous Pd surface. Hydrogenation of p-nitrophenol was examined ...

Several strains have been reported to grow on 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (3M4NP), the primary breakdown product of the excessively used insecticide fenitrothion. However, the microbial degradation of 3M4NP at molecular and biochemical levels remains unknown. Here, methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ) and methylhydroquinone (MHQ), rather than catechol proposed previously, were identified as the intermediat...

The present investigation deals with the importance of interaction and position nitro group in adsorptive removal 2-nitrophenol (2-NP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) phenol by demineralized kraft lignin activated carbon (DKLAAC). adsorption NPs on DKLAAC was found to follow order 2-NP > 4-NP phenol. In this study, both solubility donor–acceptor complex mechanism played an important role besides poros...

3,4-Dihydro-3-methyl-6-nitro-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-2-one ('DMNB') reacts with cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase in a similar way to that previously observed with the structurally related p-nitrophenyl dimethylcarbamate, but provides a covalently linked p-nitrophenol-containing reporter group at the enzyme's active site. The pKa of the enzyme-linked reporter group is much higher than that of free p...

The npd gene cluster, which encodes the enzymes of a p-nitrophenol catabolic pathway from Arthrobacter sp. strain JS443, was cloned and sequenced. Three genes, npdB, npdA1, and npdA2, were independently expressed in Escherichia coli in order to confirm the identities of their gene products. NpdA2 is a p-nitrophenol monooxygenase belonging to the two-component flavin-diffusible monooxygenase fam...
