Background & Aim: Medicinal plants can be a good replacement for common cancer treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery because they don’t have many side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the free radical scavenging in the presence of medicinal plants. Experimental: For determination of free radical scavenging activity was use...

The oxidation of caffeine with persulfate and hydroxyl radicals in aqueous solution has been studied by EPR spectroscopy and HPLC analysis. In both cases the formation of 1,3,7-trimethyluric acid is observed as the main final product. A C8]OH radical adduct is postulated as the intermediate after reaction with OH~, and leads to the final product after further oxidation. This radical is too shor...

Abstract: Let be a commutative ring and be a unitary module. We define a semiprime submodule of a module and consider various properties of it. Also we define semi-radical of a submodule of a module and give a number of its properties. We define modules which satisfy the semi-radical formula and present the existence of such a module.  

Hematoporphyrin derivative, used in photodynamic therapy of cancer, was found to generate the cysteinyl free radical as seen by spin-trapping. Oxygen appears to be an absolute requirement for thiyl radical production. Singlet oxygen may be the initiating species since azide inhibits oxygen uptake and radical production. In addition, the hydroxyl radical, or a radical with similar reactivity, is...

This article offers a conceptual framework to understand radical change. It opens with a typology that defines change in terms of its pace and scope, and defines radical change as the swift transformation of an entire system. How radical change in public policy has occurred in the past is then documented. We find examples of radical change by chance, radical change by consensus, radical change ...

Growing up, I believed that academics were shielded from the clutter of everyday life and had the peace to think, discuss, perform the occasional experiment and think somemore. After starting a research lab, however, I discovered there was not much peace in academia. The day was just not long enough to fit everything in, and though a sabbatical leave always lurked at the horizon, there never se...

the effect of different solvent systems on the extraction of antioxidant and anti radical agents of grape seed was studied. for this purpose 6 different solvent systems with similar polarity and different selectivity were used to prepare grape seed extract. extraction efficiency, reducing activity, radical scavenging property and the effect of each extract on the increase of thermal resistance ...

As interest in the study of antioxidant intake from foods and other agricultural products increases, methods for performing radical scavenging activity assays based on the electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic method, in which there is no interference from the sample color and turbidity, are required. In this study, we have developed a rapid and simple electron paramagnetic resonance ba...
