Ammonium glycolate combustion was used to synthesize SrZr0.95Y0.05O3−x powders. Soluble metal-glycolate complexes, detected by infrared spectroscopy, were formed with Y+3 and Zr+4, which maintain atomic level mixing of metal cations with glycolic acid. Sr+2/glycolic acid mixtures did not form glycolate complexes. Temperature-programmed reaction studies showed that only precursor solutions with ...

Irradiation of sterilized aqueous solution of ammonium formate and ammonia with UV light in the presence and or absence of certain inorganic sensitizers for 25 hrs. gave six ninhydrin positive products in appreciable amounts. Out of the six products observed fiver were characterized as lysine, serine, glutemic acid, n-amino butyric acid and leucine. The sensitizing effect of additives on ammoni...

Polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine, piperidine, and indolizidine alkaloids are of great interest because of their specific glycosidase inhibitory activity." Moreover, it has recently been found in our laboratories that swainsonine (1), a representative of the polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids, has an immunostimulating activity, possibly as a result of its glycosidase inhibitory activity.21 This...

Contaminants in water are classified into different types based on their physical and chemical properties. Thus, more than one type of sorbents may be needed for their removal. In this article, a combination of vermiculite with palygorskite was studied for their simultaneous removal of ammonium and humic acid from simulated groundwater. Batch results showed that the Langmuir model described amm...

When studying some organic ammonium salts as potential solubilizers [1—4] we found that they possessed good surface-active properties as well as significant antimicrobial activity. The assumption of favourable relationship between the effect of the ammonium group and the properties of the alkanecarboxylic acid and of its esters, respectively, prompted us to prepare the title compounds and study...

In the title compound, C13H18N2O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrolidine (all atoms) rings is 70.6 (1)°. The pyrrolidine ring adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules form chains along the c-axis direction linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which are then connected by C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a sheet parallel to the bc plane.

A simple analytical method was developed to measure concentrations of glufosinate ammonium and its metabolites, 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid (MPP) and 2-methylphosphinico-acetic acid (MPA), in field soil samples. To determine the minimum quantification limit, samples were spiked at different levels (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/kg). Soil samples were extracted with ammonium hydroxide solution 5% ...

We evaluated the effects of isoforms ammonium transporters (AMT) and amino acid (AAT) on three rice varieties cultivated with different levels (NH4+) its biochemical responses. The used were IAC-47 (improved), Manteiga Piauí (landraces), under 0.2 mM NH4+ (low N, LN), 1 (sufficient SN) or resupply after days without nitrogen (N). When LN, variety presented a higher expression AAT (Lysine-Histid...

Intestinal ischemic reperfusion (I/R) can cause dysfunction of the intestinal mucosal barrier; however, the mechanism of the intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction caused by I/R remains unclear. In this study, using intestinal epithelial cells under anaerobic cultivation and an in vivo rat intestinal I/R model, we found that hypoxia and I/R increased the expression of BMP2/4 and upregulated BMP...
