Pesticide misuse by farmers poses health risks to consumers. This study assessed the level of dithiocarbamate residues in tomatoes acquired from 20 farmers and 25 market vendors in Wakiso District, how simple washing affects these residues, and the potential chronic health risk for Ugandans eating such tomatoes. Results revealed that mancozeb was the only reported dithiocarbamate, and 47.4% and...

An efficient protocol for the selective oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes withH5IO6/V2O5 in ionic liquid [bmpy][PF6] has been developed. High yields of the products, mildreaction conditions and simple experimental procedure make this protocol complementary tothe existing methods. The catalyst can be reused for several times without obvious loss of thecatalytic activity.

In the present investigation, the basic esters of meta-alkoxyphenylcarbamic acid bearing variously substituted N-phenylpiperazine fragment were screened for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans, respectively. The most effective against Escherichia coli was found the compound 6d (MIC=195,3 μg/mL) bearing simultaneously para-fl...

In this study, twenty two new N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Anticholinergic activities of the compounds were evaluated by the tests performed on isolated rat ileum and were compared with atropine sulfate. 1-(Diphenylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl 4-methylpiperazine ...

nano dithiocarbamate (dtc) complex have been prepared by reaction between dithiocarbamate and metal salt under ultrasound irradiation. reaction conditions such as the ligand dtc and phennantroline concentration, aging time and the ultrasonic device power show important roles in the size, morphology and growth process of the final products. the dithiocarbamate complex nanoparticles have been pre...

A small set of unsymmetrically substituted acene derivatives containing either aniline or dithiocarbamate moieties was synthesized. A stepwise, one-pot procedure was used to transform appropriate acenequinones to aniline-linked acenes in one step with moderate yields. A heretofore-unreported carbon disulfide activation process involving the formation of a trialkylammonium dithiocarbamate interm...

Diabetes is often associated with psychological complications such as anxiety. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on anxiety of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse using the open field and the elevated plus maze tests. Confirmed diabetic mice (>16.7 mM/l of blood glucose) were treated with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate or 0.9% saline for 10 w. After...

An extremely sensitive pulse polarographic method for the determination of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (an agricultural fungicide) and zinc di-n-pentyldithiocarbamate (a petroleum additive), has been developed based on the reaction of their dithiocarbamate moiety with copper(II) perchlorate in acetonitrile medium. Well defined diffusion-controlled peaks are observed at –140 mV and –130 mV (vs ...
