the physiological process of germination depends on several environmental factors such as temperature, water potential, light, nutrients and smoke. water and temperature are determinant factors for seed germination. both factors can, separately or jointly, affect the germination percentage and germination rate. the effect of temperature on germination and water potential on germination canoften...

objective: inflammation and oxidative stress is considered to have a crucial role in induction of nephropathy. curcuma longa (c. longa) and nigella sativa (n. sativa) have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. this study was designed to investigate the effect of mixed hydro-alcoholic extract of n.sativa and c. longa on the oxidative stress induced by adriamycin (adr) in rat kidney. materia...

In the title compound [Ca(C(12)H(25)O(4)S)(2)](n), the unique Ca(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment by six O atoms from dodecyl sulfate anions. The crystal structure is based on hydro-carbon (dodecyl sulfate) layers which sandwich the Ca(II) ions. Within the layers, the hydro-carbon zigzag chains are parallel to one another and...

In the title compound, tetra-hydro-seselin, C14H16O3, a pyran-ocoumarin [systematic name: 8,8-dimethyl-3,4,9,10-tetra-hydro-2H,8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromen-2-one] obtained from the hydrogenation of seselin in the presence of Pd/C in MeOH at room temperature, the dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the best planes of the outer fused ring systems are 6.20 (7) and 10.02 (8)°. In the cry...

In the title compound, C29H37NO3 {systematic name: (E)-1-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)ethanone O-[(1R,4aS,10aR)-7-isopropyl-1,4a-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,9,10,10a-octa-hydro-phenanthrene-1-carbon-yl]oxime}, a new derivative of de-hydro-abietic acid, the two cyclo-hexane rings exhibit a trans-ring junction and are in chair and half-chair conformations. The C=N double bond exhibits an E conformation.

In the title compound, C15H18N2O3S, the hydro-pyrimidine ring adopts a sofa conformation with the methine C atom as the flap. The benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the hydro-pyrimidine ring, making a dihedral angle of 85.51 (8)°, and the meth-oxy O atom lies over the centre of the pyrimidine ring. In the crystal, weak N-H⋯S inter-actions form a zigzag chain running along...

pretreatment of adults of iraq strain of afhstephenst with a sub-letlial dose of pcrmethrin resulted in a 65% enliancemenl of tolerance to this insecticide. similarly, pre-exposure of dub-lpr larvae to a sub-lethal dose of pcrmethrin resulted in increased tolerance to pcrmethrin. for the sensitive ind-s strain, the inductive effect was smaller. tiie results of bioassays of resistant and suscept...

The title adamantane derivative, C(12)H(21)NO·0.5H(2)O, was synthesized as part of an investigation into the biological activities of cage amino-alcohol compounds as potential anti-tuberculosis agents. The structure displays inter-molecular O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and a layered packing structure with distinct hydro-philic and hydro-phobic regions. The water molecule lies on a twofo...
