Various factors have been reported to influence lipid metabolism and cause metabolic syndrome. However, the influence of allergy on the liver that plays important role of lipid metabolism has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of allergy on lipid metabolism of liver. A model of atopic dermatitis was developed in the NC/Nga mouse using picryl chloride to induc...

TAK1, a member of the mitogen-activated kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) family, participates in proinflammatory cellular signaling pathways by activating JNK/p38 MAPKs and NF-kappaB. To identify drugs that prevent inflammation, we screened inhibitors of TAK1 catalytic activity. We identified a natural resorcylic lactone of fungal origin, 5Z-7-oxozeaenol, as a highly potent inhibitor of TAK1. This...

This experiment focused on determination of antioxidant activity onion skin (OS), extracted by three techniques i.e. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE), Soxhlet and Maceration with different ethanol (EtOH) concentrations. Total Phenolic Content (TPC) Flavonoid (TFC) were estimated Folin-ciocaltteu method Aluminium Chloride respectively. Antioxidant (AOA) was assessed Diphenyl Picryl Hydrazyl (...

The cell-mediated immune reactivity (CMI) of mice to contact chemicals such as picryl chloride (PCI) is influenced by thymus-derived suppressor T lymphocytes (1,2). The development of these suppressor T lymphocytes is stimulated by the intravenous administration of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Zembala and Asherson have further demonstrated that a specific suppressor factor(s) can...

In the title carboxyl-ate derivative, C11H5N3O9, the picryl ring forms an angle of 75.79 (7)° with the ester fragment, indicating a near perpendicular disposition. The nitro substituents are variously oriented with respect to the picryl ring [dihedral angles = 3.22 (10), 16.03 (12) and 36.63 (10)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules form helical chains sustained by C-H⋯O inter-actions along [010]. The...

Several crystalline polymorphs have been discovered for picryl bromide. Among the several forces that control the formation of such polymorphs are the interactions among the nitro groups and phenyl rings of those crystals. Although there are >300 structures to be found in the Cambridge Structural Database displaying the nitro-phenyl interaction, nonetheless this interesting, and apparently impo...

 In this article, synthesis of the explosive synthesis of 5- picrylamino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazole (PAT) from the reaction of 5-amino-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazole with picryl chloride in different conditions of temperature, with density functional theory method were studied. For this purpose, at first the material contained in the both sides of reaction were geometrically optimized, then th...

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a plant distributed all over the world, with diverse uses, such as controlling soil erosion, nutritious foods, drugs and skin-care products. This study was undertaken in order to examine the antioxidant activity of water-acetone and alcoholic extracts obtained from sea buckthorn, using different tests including scavenging of 1,1diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil ...
