Lipid peroxidation and haemoglobin degradation were the two extremes of a spectrum of oxidative damage in red cells exposed to t-butyl hydroperoxide. The exact position in this spectrum depended on the availability of glucose and the ligand state of haemoglobin. In red cells containing oxy- or carbonmono-oxy-haemoglobin, hexose monophosphate-shunt activity was mainly responsible for metabolism ...

J. Physiol. 273 (Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 17): L1042–L1047, 1997.—Oxidative stress produces dual effects on the respiratory burst of rat alveolar macrophages.

We have previously identified and characterized the alkyl hydroperoxide reductase of Streptococcus mutans, which consists of two components, Nox-1 and AhpC. Deletion of both nox-1 and ahpC had no effect on the sensitivity of S. mutans to cumene hydroperoxide or H(2)O(2), implying that the existence of another antioxidant system(s) independent of the Nox-1-AhpC system compensates for the deficie...

3-Iodo-5-phenylisothiazole-4-carbonitrile 1 reacts with tert-butyl carbazate via a Buchwald C-N style coupling to afford tert-butyl 3-(4-cyano-5-phenylisothiazol-3-yl)carbazate 2 in 70% yield.

Robust analytical methods were developed for the determination of eight emerging synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs) and three metabolites in sewage sludge, effluent and river water matrices. Accelerated solvent extraction was employed for the extraction of the target analytes from sludge, dichloromethane/hexane=3:1 (extraction solvent) and 90°C (extraction temperature) were used after optim...

Using solid-state 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation experiments, we have investigated the effects of several solid-solid phase transitions on tert-butyl and methyl group rotation in solid 1,3,5-tri-tert-butylbenzene. The goal is to relate the dynamics of the tert-butyl groups and their constituent methyl groups to properties of the solid determined using single-crystal...

We isolated menadione-resistant mutants of Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli oxyR (oxyR(Xp)). The oxyRR2(Xp) mutant was hyperresistant to the superoxide generators menadione and plumbagin and was moderately resistant to H(2)O(2) and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Analysis of enzymes involved in oxidative-stress protection in the oxyRR2(Xp) mutant revealed a >10-fold increase in AhpC and AhpF level...

Deproteinized natural rubber/graphene oxide (DPNR/GO) nanocomposite was prepared and characterized in the present work. GO synthesized by oxidation process via Hummer modified method, it with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), water contact angle. The presence of hydrophilic functional groups sheet confirmed FT-IR, NMR cha...

With the development of a novel microwave-assisted one-pot tandem de-tert-butylation of tert-butyl amine in an Ugi-type multicomponent reaction product, tert-butyl isocyanide as a useful convertible isonitrile has been explored for the first time affording access to molecular diversity of pharmaceutically-important polycyclic N-fused imidazo-heterocycles.
