This study presents a selective method of isolation of zearalenone (ZON) and its metabolite, α-zearalenol (α-ZOL), in neoplastically changed human tissue by accelerated solvent and ultrasonic extractions using a mixture of acetonitrile/water (84/16% v/v) as the extraction solvent. Extraction effectiveness was determined through the selection of parameters (composition of the solvent mixture, te...

The ability to separate fission products by electrodeposition from molten salts depends, in part, on differences between the interactions of the different fission product cations with the ions present in the molten salt "solvent". These differences may be expressed as ratios of activity coefficients, which depend on the identity of the solvent and other factors. Here, we demonstrate the ability...

A series of discrete decanuclear gold(I) μ(3)-sulfido complexes with alkyl chains of various lengths on the aminodiphosphine ligands, [Au(10){Ph(2)PN(C(n)H2(n+1))PPh(2)}(4)(μ(3)-S)(4)](ClO(4))(2), has been synthesized and characterized. These complexes have been shown to form supramolecular nanoaggregate assemblies upon solvent modulation. The photoluminescence (PL) colors of the nanoaggregates...

The antimicrobial activities of the ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol extract of 12 plant species were studied. The extract of Capsicum annuum (red pepper) (fruit) Zingiber officinale (ginger) (root), Cuminum cyminum (cumin), Alpinia ficinarum (galingale), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Cinnamomun zeylanicum Nees (cinnamomun), Origanum onites L. (thyme), Folium sennae (senna), Eugenia caryop...

some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. stiripentol (stp) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. it has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. polyethyleneglycol 6000 (peg-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...
