the effect of soxhlet and simple immersion extraction methods on the amount and type of bioactive phenolic compounds of c. arizonica woodknots were studied. lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds were soxhlet extracted according to t280 pm-99 standard method with hexane and acetone solvents, respectively.  also, in the immersion method woodknot samples were dipped in hexane to remove the lipophil...

A novel solid-phase synthesis and purification strategy for 5'-triphosphate oligonucleotides by using lipophilic tagging of the triphosphate moiety is reported. This is based on triphosphate synthesis with 5'-O-cyclotriphosphate intermediates, whereby a lipophilic tag, such as decylamine, is introduced during the ring-opening reaction to give a linear gamma-phosphate-tagged species. This method...

The variation in the content of extractives from Eucalyptus globulus wood has been studied during a three-month seasoning experiment. The decrease in the total acetone extract (by over 56%) after seasoning is well correlated to a parallel reduction on the colloidal pitch measured in black liquors. The composition of lipophilic extractives during the seasoning period has been studied by gas chro...

To develop a method for staining acid fast bacilli which excluded highly toxic phenol from the staining solution. A lipophilic agent, a liquid organic detergent, LOC High Studs, distributed by Amway, was substituted. The acid fast bacilli stained red; nuclei, cytoplasm, and cytoplasmic elements stained blue on a clear background. These results compare very favourably with acid fast bacilli stai...

Silicone surfactants are becoming increasingly important in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, because of their versatility, low cost, and technological advantages. The present study was designed to measure the critical micellar concentration of three non-ionic silicone surfactants, one water-soluble and two lipid-soluble. We measured surface tension with a technique based on drop geomet...

This paper must necessarily be highly selective in an enormous field, and will represent my own attempts to come to grips with a particular group of pharmacological actions rather than to cover a wide field. Briefly, I would like to review the basis for the distinction of specific from non-specific pharmacological action, and, taking anaesthetics as the prototypes of non-specific action, use th...
