The title compound, C22H22OS [systematic name: 4-(1,3,3-trimethyl-2,3-di-hydro-1H-4-thia-phenanthren-1-yl)phenol], crystallizes unsolvated from nitro-methane as colourless prisms (m.p. 425-427 K) in the polar monoclinic space group Ia with Z' = 2 (mol-ecules A and B). Both independent mol-ecules possess a very similar proximal conformation, this referring to the juxtaposition of the 4-hy-droxy-...

Most mutants of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that cause severe symptoms of cystic fibrosis do not reach the cell surface because they are defective in folding. Many CFTR folding mutants, however, including the DeltaF508 mutant found in more than 90% of cystic fibrosis patients, are potentially functional at the cell surface if they can be induced to fold correc...

The metabolism of styrene by prostaglandin hydroperoxidase and horseradish peroxidase was examined. Ram seminal vesicle microsomes in the presence of arachidonic acid or hydrogen peroxide and glutathione converted styrene to glutathione adducts. Neither styrene 7,8-oxide nor styrene glycol was detected as a product in the incubation. Also, the addition of styrene 7,8-oxide and glutathione to ra...

The mechanism of adenosine-induced vasodilation in rat diaphragm microcirculation was investigated using laser Doppler flowmetry. Adenosine (10(-5), 3.2 x 10(-5), and 10(-4) M), the nonselective adenosine agonist 5'-N-ethylcarboxamido-adenosine (NECA) (10(-8)-10(-7) M), the specific A(2A) agonist 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenyl-amino-5'-N-ethyl carboxamidoadenosine (CGS-21680) (10(-8)-10(-7) M), and...

Four amidine NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists, N-( 2-methoxy benzyl) -3-phenyl-acrylamidine, N-[diduterio(2-methoxyphenyl) methyl]-3-phenyl-acrylamidine, N-benzyl-3-phenyl-acryl amidine and N-[diduterio(phenyl)methyl]-3-phenyl-acrylamidine, all fourlabeled with carbon-14 in the 1-position, have been synthesized as part of 5-step sequence fromBa14CO3.

The suitability of phenyl-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as absorbents for toluene absorption was investigated by means thermodynamic modeling and molecular dynamics (MD). models perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) conductor-like screening model real (COSMO-RS) were used to predict the vapor–liquid equilibrium DES–toluene systems. PC-SAFT yielded quantitative res...

This study reported methylene blue (MB) dye decolorization by using mixed consortium culture, brown-rot fungus (BRF) Gloeophyllum trabeum which is known as degradative with bacterium Bacillus subtilis addition. B. were added into G. cultures at variation 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mL incubated statically (1 = 9.47 × 108 CFU). All of had ability to decolorize MB (100 mg/L) in potato dextrose broth (PDB)...

Abstract This article aimed at the synthesis and molecular docking assessment of new diimine Schiff base ligand, namely 2-(( E )-(2-(( Z )-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyvinyl)hydrazono) methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (methoxy-diim), via condensation 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-hydrazino-ethenol compound with )-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy vinyl) hydrazono)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol in acetic acid as well prepara...

Inside Cover: In article number 2000580 by Dagmar Fischer, Kalina Peneva, and co-workers, guanidinium, containing methacrylamide terpolymers with three different side chains mimicking hydrophobic amino acid residues, are designed to evaluate what extent does the identity of these groups influence binding, protection, transfection DNA.
