to develop novel antimycobacterial agents, a new series of thiazolidinone-azole hybrids 4a-b, 5a-b and 6-13 were designed and synthesized. thiazolidin-4-ones (4a-b and 5a-b) were obtained by the reaction of schiff bases and hydrazones (2a-b and 3a-b) with mercaptoacetic acid. 5-benzylidene derivatives (6-13) were gained by treatment of 5a-b with appropriate benzaldehydes according to knoevenage...

purpose the 1-repetition maximum (1-rm) test is the gold standard test for evaluating maximal dynamic strength of groups of muscles. however, safety of actual 1-rm testing is questionable in clinical situations such as type 2 diabetes (t2d), where an estimated 1-rm test is preferred. it is unclear if acceptable test retest reliability exists for the estimated 1-rm test in middle aged t2d patien...

antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical-induced oxidative stress. a variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. this article describes a test method for screening the antioxidant activity of 60 iranian plants o...

electrochemical oxidation of iodide has been studied in the presence of 2-thioborbituric acid using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. the results indicate that, the resulting iodine takes part in halogenations reaction with 2-thiobarbituric acid. in addition, the present data are indicative of the suitability of iodide as a quasi mediator for determination of 2-thiobarbitu...
