Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)–plasma membrane (PM) contact sites/junctions play important roles in cell physiology including signal transduction, ion and lipid transfer, dynamics. However, little is known about the dynamic regulation functional of ER–PM junctions neurons. Using a split green fluorescent protein-based probe, we find that density sites changes dynamically dendrites hippocampal neuro...

In the title compound, C10H11FN3O3S, the 2-fluoro-benzoyl and proponic acid groups maintain a trans-cis conformation with respect to the thiono C=S bond across their C-N bonds. The propionic acid group adopts an anti conformation about the C-C bond, with an N-C-C-C torsion angle of 173.8 (2)°. The amino groups are involved in the formation of intra-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯F hydrogen bonds. In t...

BACKGROUND Propionic acid is a widely used preservative and has been mainly formed by artificial synthesis or fermentation. In the case of natural products, the presence of propionic acid is viewed as a sign that an additive has been introduced for antimicrobial effects. METHODS In this work, the propionic acid that occurs in Scutellaria baicalensis roots was studied. A quantification method ...

3-((4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene)amino)-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (3), 3-((4hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4), 2-methyl-3-(pyrrolidin-2-ylideneamino) quinazolin-4(3H)-one (5) and 3,3'-((1,4-phenylenebis(methanylylidene)) bis(azanylylidene))bis(2methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one) (6) derived from 3-amino-2-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one have been synthesized and characterized by...

We synthesized and tested the biological properties of four fluorescent vasopressin analogs: [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-5-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1-sulfonyl vasopressin (D-MLVP), [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-carboxyfluorescein vasopressin (F-MLVP), [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-2-N-methylanthranilamide vasopressin (MA-MLVP), and [1-(2-mercapto)propio...

Case presentation: The case is about a 1 year and 9 month old infant, child of consanguineous parents, born at term, Apgar 9/10, with respiratory distress, vomiting hypoactivity starting 48 hours life, laboratory tests were performed that showed severe metabolic acidosis, in addition to not being suggestive infection blood culture without microorganisms growth. At the time, measurement organic ...

Biosynthetic pathways of ebelactone A and B were studied by 13C NMR spectroscopy. By using 13C labeled compounds as precursors it was determined that ebelactone A was derived from one molecule of acetic acid and six propionic acids and ebelactone B from one molecule of acetic acid, five propionic acids and one butyric acid.

1. The effects in the cow of intraruminal infusions of acetic acid, propionic acid or butyric acid on the secretion of the component fatty acids of the milk fat, and of these acids and of lactic acid on the composition of the blood plasma of the jugular vein, have been studied. 2. The infusion of acetic acid or butyric acid increased the yield of the C(4)-C(16) acids of milk fat but decreased t...
