dacarbazine is an antitumor prodrug which is used for the treatment of malignant metastatic melanoma and hodgkin’s disease. it requires initial activation in liver through an n-demethylationreaction. the active metabolite prevents the progress of disease via alkylation of guanine bases in dna strands. in order to investigate the importance of imidazole ring and its dynamictautomerization in ant...

Vinyl acetate is a colorless, flammable liquid that also has a characteristic smell that can quickly become irritating. This monomer is used principally in the production of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) and other vinyl acetate co-polymers. Polyvinyl acetate is a precursor of polyvinilyc alcohol and polyvinyl acetate resins (PVA). Vinyl acetate is also copolymerized as a minor raw material for vinyl...

Vinyl(aryl)iodonium salts are useful compounds in organic synthesis but they are under-utilized and their chemistry is under-developed. Herein is described the solvolysis of some vinyl(phenyl)iodonium salts, bearing an arylsulfonyl group, in aqueous DMSO leading to aldehyde formation. This unusual process is selective and operates under ambient conditions. Furthermore, the addition of aqueous H...

The Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefirane nanofiber membrane was successfully fabricated for the firsttime using electrospinning of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Kefirane blend solution. Scanningelectron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATRFT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the electrospunPoly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefiran...

The interaction of a variety of pyridoxal analogues with glutamate decarboxylase and aspartate aminotransferase has been studied. Pyridoxal phosphate N-oxide, N-methylpyridoxal phosphate, 3-0-methylpyridoxal phosphate, 4-de(formyl)-4-vinyl pyridoxal phosphate, and pyridoxal analogues which contain modified substituents in position 5 (CH2CHrOPOsHL, CH(CHB)OPOIH2, CHVPOBHL, and CHICH,COOH) are bo...

Rotational isomeric state theory has been used to calculate mean-square unperturbed dimensions (r2>0 and dipole moments (/~> of ethylene-vinyl chloride copolymers as a function of chemical composition, chemical sequence distribution, and stereochemical composition of the vinyl chloride sequences. As was previously found for several other copolymeric chains, (/z2> is much more sensitive to chemi...

Vinyl cations, the dicoordinated unsaturated analogues of trivalent carbenium ions, were first detected by Grob and coworkers in the early 1960s in solvolysis reactions of a-aryl vinyl halides. In the 1970s numerous investigations established vinyl cations as reaction intermediates in solvolysis reactions of activated alkenyl halides and in reactions of electrophiles with alkynes. The direct NM...

The carcinogenicity of vinyl chloride for experimental animals when administered transplacentally is reviewed in comparison with known transplacental carcinogens, including those that, like vinyl chloride, are dependent on enzyme-mediated metabolic conversion to a reactive intermediate in maternal or fetal tissues. Vinyl chloride is converted by mixed-function oxidases to the reactive metabolit...

objective(s): three-dimensional structures such as nanofibrous scaffolds are being used in biomedical engineering as well as provide a site for cells to attach and proliferate leading to tissue formation. in the present study, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (pvp)/ poly(vinyl alcohol)(pva) hybrid nanofibrous scaffold was synthesized by electrospinning. materials and methods: the effect of adding nano h...
