The biotransformation of xenobiotics is essential to the maintenance of the body's integrity. Mucosal biotransformation has been well documented in the small and large intestine of animals and humans but whether the gastric mucosa plays a role in detoxifying ingested compounds remains largely unknown. The conjugation of the model phenolic compounds, 1-naphthol, by human gastric epithelial cells...

The age distribution of esterases in the interstitial cell of the mouse testis was studied between birth and the end of the tenth week of postnatal life by using the substrates O-acetyl-s-bromoindoxyl, a-naphthyl acetate, naphthol AS acetate, naphthol AS-LC acetate, and naphthol AS-D acetate. With indoxyl acetate, esterase activity is prominent at birth and wanes over the first 2 weeks of postn...

The glucuronic acid adducts of 1-naphthol, 2-naphthol and 4-methylumbelliferone activate microsomal UDP-glucuronyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.17) when the enzyme is assayed with p-nitrophenol as aglycone. Phenyl glucuronide and oestriol 3beta-glucuronide also activate UDP-glucuronyltransferase. but to a lesser extent. Activation by glucuronides is not dependent on metal ions, but is blocked by prior ...

Correction for ‘One-pot three-component synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl naphthols and polyhydroquinolines using a deep eutectic solvent: green method mechanistic insight’ by Vu Thanh Nguyen et al., New J. Chem., 2021, 45, 2053–2059, DOI: 10.1039/d0nj05687a.

Abstract Background Quinolones and cephalosporins are antibiotic agents with activity against Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria. They contain chromophores amine groups which electron-rich centres capable of donating electrons to electron-deficient compounds. A survey the literature revealed that 2, 4-dinitro-1-naphthol, a nitroaromatic useful in chemical synthesis, can accept charge transfer...

A facile and eminent method has been reported for the preparation of amido alkyl naphthols. Amido naphthol derivatives were synthesized by condensation pyrazole aldehydes, β-naphthol acetamide in presence a heterogeneous SiO2 supported sodium hydrogen sulphate catalyst using acetic acid as solvent. This protocol is advantageous its shorter reaction hours, simplest workup technique, excellent yi...

Supporting Information General methods. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Nicolet AVATAR-360 spectrometer. H NMR and C NMR spectra were recorded at Bruker AM-300 instruments. Low resolution mass spectra (m/z) were recorded on HP5989A. High-resolution mass spectra were recorded on Concept 1H or MALDI/DHB. Microanalyses were performed using a Elemantar Vario EL. All reaction flasks were dried b...

The tetrabutylammonium chloride complex with rac-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/n, unit-cell parameters of; a = 10.4941(1)Å, b 26.3302(3)Å, c 11.5290(1)Å, α 90°, β 100.0154(5)°, γ 90 °, V 3137.05(5)Å3, and Z 4. packing mode, hydrogen bonding network, crystal data suggest that the structure is isomorphous reported of bromide rac-1,1′-bi-2-naphthol.2

The insecticide carbaryl and its metabolite 1-naphthol cause partial uncoupling of karyokinesis and cytokinesis in V79 Chinese hamster fibroblasts; karyokinesis is blocked in metaphase, the microtubules of the spindle depolymerize and the chromosomes and spindle remnants become displaced to the periphery of the cell. A high frequency of these disturbed cells elongate and a smaller fraction init...

Cunninghamella elegans grown on Sabouraud dextrose broth in the presence of naphthalene produced six metabolites. Each product was isolated and identified by conventional chemical techniques. The major metabolites were 1-naphthol (67.9%) and 4-hydroxy-1-tetralone (16.7%). Minor products isolated were 1,4-naphthoquinone (2.8%), 1,2-naphthoquinone (0.2%), 2-naphthol (6.3%), and trans-1,2-dihydrox...
