The metabolism of three nephro- or hepatotoxic thiazoles--2-(thiazol-4-yl)benzimidazole (thiabendazole) (1a), 4-tert-butyl-2-methyl-thiazole (1b), and 2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiazole (1c)--was examined in mice with special regard to the formation of ring cleavage products. By GC/MS analyses of derivatized metabolites and comparison with authentic samples, thioformamide and benzimidazol-2-y...

TLC bioautography using precoated glass thin-layer plates impregnated with benomyl or carbendazim (MBC), and Cladosporium herbarum as a test fungus was evaluated as a facil way to detect plant secondary m etabolites antidoting against benzimidazole fungicides. In ad­ dition to emodin and a-tocopherol from Polygonum sachalinense, three phenolics, 3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylstilbene and 5-methoxy-6,7-...

A flow-through optosensor implemented with photochemically induced fluorescence (PIF) is reported for the simultaneous determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) and metsulfuron methyl (MET). TBZ is determined by measuring its native fluorescence once retained on the solid support filling the flow-cell of a FI-system. On the other hand, a strongly fluorescent photoproduct from MET is generated on-lin...

Two novel binuclear Mn(II) metal-organic coordination complexes [Mn2(TBZ)2(CDC)(C2O4)]n (1), {[Mn2(TBZ)2(BDC)(0.5)(BTC)(H2O)2]·ET}n (2), (where TBZ = thiabendazole, H2CDC = trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, H2C2O4 = oxalic acid, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, ET = ethanol, H2BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analy...

The widespread use of pesticides, especially in agricultural areas, makes necessary to control their presence surrounding surface waters. current study was designed investigate the occurrence and ecological risks pesticides transformation products a Mediterranean river basin impacted by citrus production. Nineteen sites were monitored three campaigns distributed over different seasons. After qu...

During the G1 phase of the cell cycle, cells of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe can be induced to mate by nitrogen starvation and the presence of mating pheromones. Polarised growth towards cells of the opposite mating type (P or M) leads to the formation of a projection tip and, upon contact, localised cell wall degradation results in conjugation and cell fusion [1]. Here, we have ...

By using mixed rigid and flexible organic ligands, three Keggin based compounds, [Ag6(tbz)4(bmz)2(H3PW12O40)]·4H2O (1), [Ag(H2bdpm)2(H2PMo12O40)]·7.5H2O (2), and [Ag4(tbz)2(H2bdpm)2(HPMo12O40)]·2H2O (3) (Htbz = thiabendazole, Hbmz = benzimidazole, H2bdpm = 1,1'-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazolate)methane), were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Through adopting rigid Htbz li...

Tebuconazole (TBZ) nanoemulsions (NEs) were formulated using a low energy method. TBZ composition directly affected the drop size and surface tension of the NE. Water fraction and the organic-to-surfactant-ratio (RO/S) were evaluated in the range of 1-90 and 1-10 wt %, respectively. The study was carried out with an organic phase (OP) consisting of an acetone/glycerol mixture containing TBZ at ...
