Stress-testing (forced degradation) studies have been conducted on pemetrexed disodium heptahydrate (1) (LY231514·2Na·7H2O) drug substance in order to identify its likely degradation products and establish its degradation pathways. Solid samples of the drug substance were stressed under various conditions of heat, humidity, and light, and solutions of the drug substance were stressed under vari...

In this study, TiO2-10%wt. carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposite powders were synthesized by sol-gel method at various hydrolysis rate affected by different reaction agents of acetyl acetone and benzyl alcohol. Crystallization of TiO2 was then achieved through calcination at 400 °C. The properties of nanocomposite powder investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and diffuse ...

hydrolysis of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer in alkaline conditions using two systems of naoh/methanol and koh/isopropanol has been studied and the formation of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer was systematically examined using nmr spectroscopy and dsc measurements. vinyl acetate weight percentage and the degree of hydrolysis were calculated from nmr spectroscopy and it is shown that hydrolys...

daily, organophosphorus compounds (ops) in human life, has found wide applications. although ops have biodegradability potential, they induce clinical problems in humans and other organism. different methods are used to detoxify these compounds. in the meantime, biodegradation is preferred as a compatible way to the environment since it produces less toxic compounds. enzymes capable to degrade ...

cow’s milk whey consists of many protein components and some of them are antigens to human and known to modulate immune responses. enzymatic hydrolysis is a useful method to modify proteins with allergenicity. the objective of this study was to identify whether the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis could reduce the allergenicity of whey protein concentrates (wpc). in  this study, wpc were hydrolyze...

The theory of elastic group transfer for the binding and release rate constants for nucleotides in F1-ATPase as a function of the rotor angle is further extended in several respects. (i) A method is described for predicting the experimentally observed lifetime distribution of long binding events in the controlled rotation experiments by taking into account the hydrolysis and synthesis reactions...

The function of bacteria in the production of ammonia from the protein substances in soil is well known. How these proteins are acted upon, whether it is a hydrolytic process brought about by enzymatic action, whether an oxidative one, or whether a more complex chemical reaction, is yet an unsettled question. In order to ascertain, if possible, by controlling influencing factors as much as cond...

Synthesis of YSZ nanopowder by alkoxide sol-gel method, through two different hydrolysis routes, one under careful control by using acetyacetone as ligand, and the other through basic hydrolysis, was investigated. The synthesized powders were characterized by various analytical techniques such as, XRD, STA, PSA, BET, SEM, and TEM. The results showed that, the YSZ powders prepared through the ba...

The efficiency of ammonia removal from fresh source-segregated domestic food waste digestate using biogas as a stripping agent was studied in batch experiments at 35, 55 and 70°C, at gas flow rates of 0.125 and 0.250Lbiogasmin(-1)L(-1)digestate with and without pH adjustment. Higher temperatures and alkaline conditions were required for effective ammonia removal, and at 35°C with or without pH ...
