Tissue culture plasticware was purchased from Corning (Corning, NY) and Thermo Fisher (Rochester, NY). RPMI 1640 and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were purchased from Mediatech Cellgro (Manassas, VA). MEM buffered with 10mM Hepes (pH 7.4) was prepared in the laboratory from MEM purchased from BioWhitaker (Walkersville, MD) and Hepes purchased from Fisher Scientific (Newark, DE). Fetal bovine ...

The influence of the protein content of the diet on glucose concentration (denoted by fluorescence intensity) and body weight was studied in the white rat. Rats of 30d of age received ad lib. a control diet containing 15% crude protein (Pl5), or a diet containing 23% crude protein (P23) or 35% crude protein (P35) and a fourth group of rats (P8) received the 8% crude protein contained diet. Afte...

Novel benzofuran-2-carboxamide ligands, which are selective for sigma receptors, have been synthesized via a microwave-assisted Perkin rearrangement reaction and a modified Finkelstein halogen-exchange used to facilitate N-alkylation. The ligands synthesized are the 3-methyl-N-phenyl-N-(3-(piperidin-1-yl)propyl)benzofuran-2-carboxamides (KSCM-1, KSCM-5 and KSCM-11). The benzofuran-2-carboxamide...

There are more than 230 boron minerals which contain different amounts of boron oxide (B2O3) percentages. Magnesium borates are one of the boron mineral groups that have important properties of high elasticity coefficient, resistance to corrosion and high heat resistance. In this study, magnesium borate production is studied by hydrothermal synthesis method from a sodium borate mineral of tinca...

Drinking water quality with respect to fluoride, iron, and nitrate content has been carried out in Kamrup district of Assam, India. Forty six different sampling stations were selected for the study. Iron was analyzed by using an atomic absorption spectrometer, Perkin Elmer AA 200, while fluoride was measured by the SPADNS method at 570nm and Nitrate content was measured by the phenol-disulphoni...

The present research work deals with the synthesis, characterization and to evaluate the synthesized compound for antidepressant activity of a series of coumarin derivatives. Basic coumarin is prepared by Perkin reaction, which further reacted with aryl thiourea by cyclization reaction leads to produce 3-(2-(phenylaminothiazol-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one. Totally twelve compounds, were synthesized b...

Giardia duodenalis is an intestinal parasite that causes giardiasis, a widespread human gastrointestinal disease. Treatment of giardiasis relies on a small arsenal of compounds that can suffer from limitations including side-effects, variable treatment efficacy and parasite drug resistance. Thus new anti-Giardia drug leads are required. The search for new compounds with anti-Giardia activity cu...

S. Gomathi and K.M. Subbu Rathinam* ABSTRACT To identify the insecticidal components of Saraca asoca bark were evaluated by standard protocol using the equipment Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. The mass spectrum of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of ...

The title compound, C(22)H(18)N(2)O(3) is the second monoclinic polymorph (P2(1)/c) of the compound, the first being reported in space group P2(1) [Bertolasi et al. (1993 ▶). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. 2223-2228]. In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, the inter-planar angle between the benzoyl units is 80.04 (5)°, while the corresponding angles between the phenyl-hydrazinyl...

Material and methods The research material was a total of 110 samples of blood serum from people with cancer, diagnosed and confirmed in one of the organs: colon (67 cases), pancreas (30 cases) or stomach (13 cases) and 110 samples of blood serum derived from healthy individuals representing paired control group. The criteria adopted for pairing included: gender, year of birth (+/3 years), hist...
