In the present study, we investigate the potentiometric behavior of Cu2+ carbon paste electrodes based on two mercapto compounds 2-Ethylmino-5-Mercapto-1,3,4-Thiadiazole (EAMT) and 2-Acetylamino-5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (AAMT) self-assembled on gold nano-paricle (GNP) as ionophore. Then, the results obtained from the modified electrodes are compared. The self-assembled ionophores exhibit a ...

We synthesized and tested the biological properties of four fluorescent vasopressin analogs: [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-5-dimethylamino-naphthalene-1-sulfonyl vasopressin (D-MLVP), [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-carboxyfluorescein vasopressin (F-MLVP), [1-(2-mercapto)propionic acid]-8-lysine-N6-2-N-methylanthranilamide vasopressin (MA-MLVP), and [1-(2-mercapto)propio...

Influence of short chain alkane diluents (number of carbons, n= 2, 3 and 6) on the control of non-specific DNA-gold (DNA-Au) interactions nd hybridization discrimination effect has been investigated at the binary monolayer interface consisting of 6-mercapto-1-hexane labeled single tranded DNA (HS-ssDNA) and a diluent (HS-ssDNA/diluent) in presence of double stranded DNA (dsDNA) specific cationi...

The metabolism of [(14)C]pioglitazone was studied in vitro in incubations with freshly isolated human, rat, and monkey hepatocytes. Radioactivity detection high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of incubation extracts showed the detection of 13 metabolites (M1-M13) formed in incubations with human hepatocytes. An identical set of metabolites (M1-M13) was also detected in monkey hepatoc...

In the present study, new Schiff's base derivatives: (Z)-4-amino-5-(2-(3- fluorobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (Y1), (Z)-3-((2-(4-amino-5- mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (Y2), (Z)-2-((2-(4-amino-5- mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (Y3) and 3-((Z)-(2-(4- (((E)-3-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)hydrazono)m...

Despite the engineering potential by co-existence of inorganic and organic substances to protect vulnerable metallic materials from corrosive environments, both their interaction in-situ formation mechanism induce nature-inspired composite remained less understood. The present work used three distinctive mercapto-benzazole (MB) compounds working as corrosion inhibitors, such 2-mercaptobenzoxazo...

Human glutathione reductase (NADPH + GSSG + H+ in equilibrium with NADP+ + 2 GSH) is a suitable enzyme for correlating spectroscopic properties and chemical reactivities of protein-bound FAD analogues with structural data. FAD, the prosthetic group of the enzyme, was replaced by FAD analogues, which were modified at the positions 8, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, of the isoalloxazine ring. Whe...

The effect of four mercapto flavor compounds (1,2-ethanedithiol, 1-butanethiol, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, and 2-furanmethanethiol) on acrylamide elimination were investigated in model systems. The obtained results showed that mercaptans assayed were effective in elimination arylamide in a model system. Their reactivities for decreasing acrylamide content depended on mercaptan's molecular structure...
