Antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of Caesalpinia pulcherrima wood were studied in in vitro models. Both extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity, as evidenced by the low IC50 values in both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide and superoxide scavenging methods; the values were found to be less or comparable to those of gallic acid, ...

In this study, sulfated low molecular-weight Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (SLTP) with different sulfate contents were synthesized and their antioxidant activities, including superoxide anion radical, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities were investigated. The results indicated that, compared to natural Tremella fuciformis polysaccharide...

Ammonia, methylamine, and pyridine were detected in broth filtrates of a streptomycin-degrading strain of Pseudomonas maltophilia during growth on streptomycin as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. Ammonia and methylamine, quantitatively measured by conversion to chromophores with picryl sulfonic acid, were found to accumulate in broth, whereas pyridine concentration increased in the early stag...

4-Amino-5-phenyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (1) underwent facile condensation with various phosphorus dichlorides (2a-j) in the presence of triethylamine in dry tetrahydrofuran at 60-65 degrees C and afforded corresponding thiadiazaphosphol-2-ones (3a-j). Their chemical structures were characterized using IR, (1)H-, (13)C-, (31)P-NMR and Mass spectral studies. All the title compounds were screen...

The free radical scavenging potential of the leaves of A. squamosa was studied by using different antioxidant models of screening. The ethanolic extract at 1000 microg/ml showed maximum scavenging of the radical cation, 2,2-azinobis- (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) observed upto 99.07% followed by the scavenging of the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl, 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) (89.77 %)...

Antioxidant activity of a selection of commonly occurring wild plants growing in Beni-Sueif governorate, Upper Egypt, has been tested. The plants selected are Tamarix nilotica, Ambrosia maritima, Zygophyllum coccenium, Conyza dioscoridis, Chenopodium ambrosioides, and Calotropis procera. The in vitro antioxidant assays used in this study were 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scaven...

2014 The powder susceptibilities of crystalline stable free radical 1.1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl and its samples recrystallized from various solvents have been measured at room temperature. The value of static susceptibility has also been evaluated with the help of the data obtained from microchemical analysis of the sample as well as from ESR measurements. The discrepancies in the two values...

hormone-independent prostate cancer cell lines are resistant to antineoplastic drugs, this study sought to determine the usefulness of lithium chloride as an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase-3β to increase the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin, etoposide or vinblastine antineoplastic drugs on du145 cells. combination effect was assessed by using low and ic50 doses of drugs + lithium chloride...

Antioxidant effects of the Petroleum ether extracts of the leaves of Calotrois procera were tested on the basis of scavenging activity of the free radical DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl2-picryl-hydrazyl), reducing power and inhibition of nitric oxide radical . The Petroleum Ether extracts of C .procera showed the highest antioxidant activity and the activity of the extract increased with increasing concen...
