Modifying effects of the environmental contaminant catechol, and its isomers resorcinol and hydroquinone, on methyl-N-amylnitrosamine (MNAN)-induced carcinogenesis were studied in male F344 rats. Groups of 15 rats were given three i.p. injections of 25 mg/kg of body weight of MNAN within the initial 2-wk period, and commencing 1 wk thereafter they were administered 0.8% catechol, 0.8% resorcino...

Thermochemical modification of lysozyme enables it to retain its oligomers, showing a wide spectrum of increased antibacterial activities. It also results in significant loss of hydrolytic activity of the enzyme. The objective of this study is to analyse the protective effect of resorcinol on the hydrolytic activity of modified lysozyme using a high temperature method and the oligomerization de...

Resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin is a kind of excellent exterior-grade wood structural adhesive, which can be conveniently cold-set for various applications. In order to decrease the production cost, pyrolysis bio-oil from renewable bioresources was used to replace resorcinol to synthesize the bio-oil-resorcinol-aldehyde (BRF) resin. The effect of replacing resorcinol with bio-oil on the prop...

The rol (designated for resorcinol) gene cluster rolRHMD is involved in resorcinol catabolism in Corynebacterium glutamicum, and RolR is the TetR-type regulator. In this study, we investigated how RolR regulated the transcription of the rol genes in C. glutamicum. The transcription start sites and promoters of rolR and rolHMD were identified. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and promoter ...

Resorcinol is a simple aromatic chemical (1,3benzenediol) that has widespread use as a coupler in hair dyes and food, for example as an anti-browning agent in crustaceans (1), and, because of its antipruriginous, keratolytic and antifungal properties, in topical pharmaceutical products, such as Castellani paint. Moreover, it is present in certain skin markers. According to the local lymph node ...

This paper reports the electrochemical behavior of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) immobilized in the silica sol-gel film on gold electrode after adding nanometre-sized tridecameric aluminium polycation (nano-Al13, also called nanopolynuclear Al13) as a promoter. A pair of surface controlled quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetry peaks with the formal potential (E0') of 154 mV (vs. SCE) was found in t...

The title co-crystal, C(6)H(12)N(2)·C(6)H(6)O(2), is composed of neutral resorcinol and triethyl-enediamine mol-ecules in which the resorcinol mol-ecules came from the in situ deca-rboxylation of 2,4-dihy-droxy-benzoic acid. In the crystal, the components are connected by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a chain in the b-axis direction.

NMR analyses of the labeling pattern obtained using various 13C-labeled precursors indicated that both the lipid tail and the quinone head of sorgoleone, the main allelopathic component of the oily root exudate of Sorghum bicolor, were derived from acetate units, but that the two moieties were synthesized in different subcellular compartments. The 16:3 fatty acid precursor of the tail is synthe...

In this research new catalyst prepared by supporting ZnFe2O4 on Copper Slag (CS) and characterization of this catalyst was done by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image, Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, BET surface area, and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. UV + H2O2 processes by ZnFe2O4...

The title co-crystal, C(9)H(9)NO(2)·C(6)H(6)O(2), is composed of one 2,6-diacetyl-pyridine mol-ecule and one resorcinol mol-ecule as the asymmetric unit. In the 2,6-diacetyl-pyridine mol-ecule, the two carbonyl groups are anti-periplanar to the pyridine N atom. In the crystal, the 2,6-diacetyl-pyridine and resorcinol mol-ecules are connected by two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming planar chains of...
