Two modified methods for assaying sodium diclofenac were developed by GC and HPLC. Diclofenac was converted into methyl ester derivative by methyl iodide in acetone. The ester was extract and subjected to GLC with flame ionization detector. %5 SE-30/chrom W-HP (80-100 mesh) was used as a column in GC. For reversed phase HPLC, the mobile phase was methanol and water (55-45). The separation was p...

We have isolated glutamic acid 5-methyl ester from an Escherichia coli protein that is involved in chemotaxis. The bacteria were first incubated with [methyl-3H]methionine under conditions which are known to result in methylation of the protein. The protein, isolated by gel electrophoresis, was then digested by successive treatment with three proteolytic enzymes. One of the products was [methyl...

Weed control failures due to herbicide resistance are an increasing and worldwide problem significantly impacting crop yields. Herbicide resistance due to increased herbicide metabolism in weeds is not well characterized at the genetic level. An RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis was used to identify genes conferring metabolism-based herbicide resistance (MBHR) in a population (R) of a major global...

Male antennae of Phyllophaga tristis (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) were tested using a coupled gas chromatograph-electroantennogram detector (GC-EAD) system for electrophysiological responses to five sex pheromones identified from other Phyllophaga species including L-valine methyl ester, L-isoleucine methyl ester, L-leucine methyl ester, methyl 2(methylthio)benzoate and...

The effect of orally administered prostaglandin E(2) and its synthetic 15-methyl analogues on gastric secretion in man was studied. The parent E(2) compound did not inhibit basal secretion, whereas both the 15 (S) 15-methyl-E(2) methyl ester and its isomer, 15 (R) 15-methyl-E(2) methyl ester inhibited basal acid secretion. This action is likely to be a direct one on the parietal cell, and it co...

The reaction of [4-g1utamic acidjdeamlnc-l-carba-oxytocin (lb) with diazoalkanes yielded the corresponding methyl ester Ie and ethyl ester ld. Alternatively, the methyl ester was prepared by means of carbodiimide or thionyl chloride, or by treating the caesium salt of compound Ib with methyl iodide. [2-0~Methyltyrosine, 4-glutamic acid methyl esterjdeamino-f-carba-oxytccin (liz) was also synthe...

Fatty acid methyl esters, which are used as biodiesel, can be produced by esterification of fatty acids in supercritical methanol. However, a reverse reaction, esters hydrolyzed to regenerate due the presence water, is making it difficult reduce content sufficiently. In this study, oleic was treated methanol at 310 °C/20 MPa with flow-type reactor adding formate improve yield ester. As result, ...

Bergenia ciliata is a weed of hilly areas Pakistan that generally grows in rock crevices. In the present study, flowers this weeds were collected from Murree. The dried extracted methanol and subjected to GC-MS analysis showed 7 compounds it. predominant compound was hexanedioic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester (48.88%) followed by γ-sitosterol (22.56%). Moderately occurring cyclohexane, 1,3,5-tri...

Limited information is available on control of broadleaf weeds in barley and response of barley cultivars to herbicides. Field experiments were conducted from 2007 to 2009 to evaluate post-emergence herbicides for control of broadleaf weeds in four barley cultivars. Herbicide treatments included 2,4-D sodium salt at 500 g ai ha 1, carfentrazone-ethyl at three rates (15, 20 and 25 g ai ha 1), an...
