Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread genotoxic environmental pollutants. We have recently demonstrated that photoirradiation of PAHs leads to cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and induction of lipid peroxidation. In this paper we report the synthesis of all the six isomeric ethylchrysenes and the study of light-induced lipid peroxidation by these ethylchrysenes. 5-Ethylchrysene was sy...

Aim. Children with developmental disabilities generally experience more pain than the normal children. Description of pain is generally difficult in children and more so in children with intellectual disabilities. The study aimed at evaluating dental pain in children with intellectual disabilities. Methods. The survey was carried out in an institution caring for intellectually disabled children...

Objective The aim of this study was to examine whether subjective well-being and craving for cannabis were different in patients with schizophrenia or related disorders treated with either olanzapine or risperidone. Method A 6-week, double blind, randomized trial of olanzapine and risperidone was carried out in 128 young adults with recent onset schizophrenia or related disorders. Primary effic...

Four simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric methods have been proposed for the determination of enalapril maleate in pharmaceutical formulations. The first method is based on the reaction of carboxylic acid group of enalapril maleate with a mixture of potassium iodate (KIO(3)) and iodide (KI) to form yellow colored product in aqueous medium at 25 +/- 1 degrees C. The reaction is followe...

A series of dyads and triads using ferrocene (Fc) as the donor and 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) as the acceptor, linked either directly or through an N-phenylmethanimine or ethynylbenzene linker have been synthesized. While the former (directly linked) dyads were prepared through acid catalyzed condensation of pyrrole with ferrocenecarboxaldehye or 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxa...

The diversity of hexaphyrin-cyclodextrin hybrids (HCD), previously formed from the covalent assembly regular hexaphyrin and [Formula: see text]-cyclodextrin subunits, has been increased following two main directions: enlarging confined space provided by cyclodextrin tuning N-core aiming at bimetallic complexes. larger unit was selectively functionalized with aldehyde linkers on its primary rim ...
