Molybdenum dithiocarbamates (MoDTCs) are lubricant additives very efficient in reducing the friction of steel and they employed a number industrial applications. The functionality these is ruled by chemical interactions occurring at buried sliding interface, which key importance for improvement lubrication performance. Yet, tribochemical processes difficult to monitor real time. Ab initio molec...

Metiram complex is a non-systemically acting fungicide of the group of ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDC). The subchronic and chronic toxicity and the carcinogenic potential of metiram (containing 2% ethylene thiourea, ETU, as an intentionally added impurity) were investigated. Doses in the chronic/carcinogenicity rat study were 0, 5, 20, 80, or 320 ppm. In the carcinogenicity study in mice, di...

The stability and hydrodynamic size of ligand-coated gold nanorods (GNRs; aspect ratio 3.6) have been characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA)-a single-particle counting method that can measure size distributions with low nanometer resolution. Stable aqueous suspensions of citrate-stabilized GNRs (cit-GNRs) are amenable to surface functionalization without loss of dispersion contro...

Specific regions of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain are burdened with extracellular protein deposits, the accumulation of which is concomitant with a complex cascade of overlapping events. Many of these pathological processes produce oxidative stress. Under normal conditions, oxidative stress leads to the activation of defensive gene expression that promotes cell survival. At the forefront o...

PURPOSE To synthesize a new series of 5-substituted-3-methylsulfanyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl esters for their analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity. METHODS The title compound synthesized by reacting the amino group of 5-amino-3-methylsulfanyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester with acid anhydrides, acid chlorides and phenyl dithiocarbamates. The synthesized compounds we...

A series of benzothiazol-2-yl-dithiocarbamates 3a-d along with their copper complexes 4a-c were synthesized via the reaction of suitable alkyl, aralkyl or heteroaryl halides with the sodium salt of benzothiazol-2-yl-dithiocarbamic acid, followed by complexation with copper sulphate. N-(4-Acetyl-5-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-N-benzothiazol-2-yl-acetamides 7a-c were synthesized by cyc...
