The binary adsolubilization behaviors of 2-naphthol +biphenyl and 2-naphthol +1, 3-dichlorobenzene in a cationic fluorocarbon surfactant adsorbed layer formed on TiO2 have been investigated as a function of pH. In the binary adsolubilization of 2-naphthol+biphenyl, the adsolubilized amount of 2-naphthol increases gradually until pH 7 and then sharply with a further increase of pH, whereas the a...

In general, for the histochemical demonstration of peroxidase , b enzidine, naphthol, and leuco-dyes are utilized in the prosence of hydrogen peroxide. Among these , the technical modifications of the benzidine-peroxide method are the most numerous . Alpha-naphthol has been used less often than benzidine . Application of the leucodye method for animal tissues is remarkably limited and this meth...

Levels of glutathione (GSH) in tumour tissue may be important in determining the clinical response to certain anticancer agents. Recent reports have suggested that D,L-buthionine-S,R-sulphoximine (BSO), a specific inhibitor of GSH synthesis, may be used to deplete tumour cell GSH and thus increase the therapeutic ratio of these agents. We have previously shown that 1-naphthol is a potential ant...

Recent studies have provided considerable information concerning the morphology and fine structure of the centrioles and centrosome (4, 6, 12). Although little is known of the chemical composition of these structures, histochemical evidence indicates that they are composed of basic protein, ribonucleoprotein, and glycoprotein (7, 17); the centrosome or astrosome accumulates sulfhydryls during m...

in this research, so3h-functionalizedphthalimide (sfp) has been prepared through simple reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized using ft-ir, 1h nmr, 13c nmr, sem (scanning electron microscopy), mass and tg (thermal gravimetric) spectra. afterward, the solid acid has been utilized as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst for the solvent-free synth...

Fluorescence probes based on excited state proton transfer (ESPT) have been recently developed for microheterogeneous media. The ESPT behaviour of a series of substituted naphthols (4-chl oro-1-naphthol, 5-amino-1-naphthol , 4-methoxy1-naphthol, 7-methoxy-2-naphthol , 3-amino-2-naphthol, 6-bromo-2naphthol and 1-bromo-2-naphthol) is investigated in liposomes, using steady state and time resolved...

Hyaluronan is a biopolymer suitable as a targeting unit in drug delivery systems according to affinity of hyaluronan to CD-44 receptor of cancer cells. We suppose that hyaluronan, when interacts with cationic surfactant, influences hydration of Stern layer of CTAB which affects fluorescence properties of 1-naphthol. We study excited state proton transfer of 1-naphthol in aqueous solution and in...

The mechanism(s) of toxicity of 1-naphthol and two of its possible metabolites, 1,2- and 1,4-naphthoquinone, to freshly isolated rat hepatocytes has been studied. 1-Naphthol and both naphthoquinones exhibited a dose-dependent toxicity to hepatocytes. [1-14C]-1-Naphthol was metabolised by hepatocytes predominantly to its glucuronic acid and sulphate ester conjugates, but small amounts of covalen...

The effect of some unsubstituted aromatic amines and their oand p-hydroxylated derivatives on isolated rat-liver mito chondria has been studied. The o-hydroxylated amines inhibited oxygen uptake in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent respiratory substrates. Of the other compounds only l-amino-4-naphthol inhibited oxygen uptake. The Buccinate oxidase system was inhibited ...

Pseudomonas sp. strain C4 metabolizes carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methylcarbamate) as the sole source of carbon and energy via 1-naphthol, 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene, and gentisate. 1-Naphthol-2-hydroxylase (1-NH) was purified 9.1-fold to homogeneity from Pseudomonas sp. strain C4. Gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the enzyme is a homodimer with a...
