nanosilica periodic acid (nano-spia) is found to be a new, powerful, and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the rapid synthesis of 2-naphtholazo dyes via diazotization of aromatic amines and followsazo coupling with 2-naphthol under solvent-free conditions at room temperature by grinding. eco-friendly, heterogeneous reaction conditions, high stability of diazonium salt, simple experimental pro...

background: genistein (gen), a naturally occurring flavonoid present in soy bean, has attracted scientific interest for its possible benefits in cancer. objective: the potential immunomodulatory effects of genistein on the immune system and against tc-1 tumor cell line were evaluated in adult female c57bl/6 mice. methods: mice were treated with gen 10 days before to 10 days after the tumor indu...

considering the extent of salinity in soils of iran, abiotic stresses such as salinity are serious threat to agricultural production, yield and essential oil of medicinal plants. recognition of threshold for salt tolerance and determining the slope of yield loss in medicinal plants has an important role in the selection of suitable lands for their cultivation. the effect of salinity stress on s...

benzodiazepines are useful drugs for treatment of sleep disorders, anxiety, seizure cases and skeletal muscle cramps. some derivatives of 2-(2-phenoxy) phenyl-1, 3, 4-oxadiazole were synthesized as benzodiazepine receptor agonists. conformational analysis and superimposition of energy minima conformers of the compounds on estazolam, a known benzodiazepine agonist, reveal that the main proposed ...

the aim of this study was to design orally disintegrating tablets of olanzapine and to complex olanzapine with 2-hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin with special emphasis on disintegration and dissolution studies. phase solubility studies demonstrated the formation of 1:1 molar inclusion complex by kneading method. tablets were prepared by using superdisintegrants namely, sodium starch glycolate, cro...

the water-distilled essential oil from dried aerial parts of achillea tenuifolia lam. was analysed by gc and cg/ms. 48 components were characterized representing 88% of the total oil. camphor (18%), 1,8-cineole + limonene (9%) and spathulenol (7%) were the major constituents of the oil obtained in a yield of 0.23%.

basil (ocimum basilicum l.) belongs to the lamiaceae family as a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine in iran. the purpose of this test is to evaluate the effect of nano fe-chelate under salinity levels on the plant physiology and morphology characteristics. in this experiment  investigated the effect of nano fe-chelate and salinity stress on growth parameters, photosynthetic leaves rat...

one-pot, four-component procedure for the synthesis of a small library of new chiral spiro- oxindolopyrrolidines with high regio-, diastereo- (>99:1 dr), and enantioselectivity (up to 80% ee) is described. in this process, the regio- and stereochemical 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides, which were generated insitu by the reaction of isatin derivatives and sarcosin,with optically ac...

tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(iii) as an inert and very stable complex with a good leaving group was synthesized using as-prepared cr(acetylacetonate)3. highly ordered nanoporous silica (lus-1), with some great features, was functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. then the as-prepared product was modified with tris(3-bromo-acetylacetonato) chromium(iii) under mild reaction co...

the number and function of human natural killer (nk) cells are generally assessed to monitor the baseline of immune function, the effect of treatment, the progress of malignancy or metastases and diseases. nk cells recognise and kill target cells in the absence of prior sensitisation and are able to defend the host from infection or prevent the progression of a disease. human nk cells express c...
