The use of cellulose-containing agricultural by-products modified with the cross-linking reagent dimethyloldihydroxyethylene urea (DMDHEU) and the quaternary amine, choline chloride, as anion exchange resins, has not been reported. The objective of the present study was to convert the readily available by-products, soybean hulls, sugarcane bagasse and corn stover to functional anion exchange re...

Efficient and site-specific modification of native peptides proteins is desirable for synthesizing antibody-drug conjugates as well constructing chemically modified peptide libraries using genetically encoded platforms such phage display. In particular, there much interest in efficient multicyclization due to the appeals multicyclic therapeutics. However, conventional approaches synthesis requi...

Modification of the phosphate groups of lipid A with amine-containing substituents, such as phosphoethanolamine, reduces the overall net negative charge of gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide, thereby lowering its affinity to cationic antimicrobial peptides. Modification of the 1 position of Helicobacter pylori lipid A is a two-step process involving the removal of the 1-phosphate group ...

  Some of fused dihydrobenzo [4,5]imidazo [1,2-a] pyrmido [5,4-e] pyrmidin-3(4H)-amine  derivatives were synthesized,  theses derivatives derived from 4-amino-2-(4-chloro or bromophenyl) -1,2-dihydropyrimido[1,2-a] benzimidazole-3-carbonitrile (4,5), which prepared by reaction 1H-benzimidazol-2-amine (1) and p-chlorobenzaldehyde p-bromobenzaldehyde (2)  and malononitrile (3)...

Abstract:  In this study adiffusion based mathematical model was developed to compare the performance of amine-grafted adsorbents with that of 13X zeolite in a fixed-bed adsorption tower which is used to capture CO2 from both humid and dry nitrogen stream under industrial conditions. The results show that the performance of amine-grafted adsorbent and 13X zeolite is almost the same in the dry ...

An analogous series of dimethylalkyl compounds, consisting of four amines, an amide, and a phosphonate ester, inhibited motility and reproduction of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Dimethylamines with straight-chain lengths of 12, 14, or 16 carbon atoms were equally active nematicides, causing greater than 80% population growth inhibition at a concentration of 25 ppm. The C12 straight-chai...

The purpose of this study was to investigate chitin and chitosan as potential materials for biodegradable nerve guides. Transparent chitin hydrogel tubes were synthesized, for the first time, from chitosan solutions using acylation chemistry and mold casting techniques. Alkaline hydrolysis of chitin tubes resulted in chitosan tubes, with the extent of hydrolysis controlling the resulting amine ...

AIMS To assess the potential bactericidal activity of amine oxide (C10-C16-alkyldimethyl N-oxides) against Streptococcus mutans grown as planktonic suspension and as biofilm on hydroxyapatite discs, and its ability to control acidification of the media. METHODS Amine oxide bacteriostasis was investigated using the Bioscreen C Microbiological Growth Analyser, while a standard suspension test w...

The presence of heavy metal ions in polluted wastewater represents a serious threat to human health, making proper disposal extremely important. utilization nanofiltration (NF) membranes has emerged as one the most effective methods ion removal from due their efficient operation, adaptable design, and affordability. NF created advanced materials are becoming increasingly popular ability depollu...

Dextran polysaccharide was grafted by reductive-amination with mixtures of spermine and other natural/synthetic oligoamines of two to four amine groups. The transfection efficiencies of the polycations thus obtained were assessed in various cell lines, and found to depend on the spermine contents. Higher spermine ratios of grafted oligoamines resulted in high gene expression, whereas low to neg...
