The majority of carbohydrates found in edible mushroom are the form polysaccharides, specifically beta-glucans. These beta-glucans have been reported as anticancer, antioxidant, and immunomodulator. This study aimed to investigate potential P. pulmonarius functional food by comparing carbohidrate content (total carbohydrate, beta-glucans, reducing sugars) extracted using microwave assisted extr...

In this work, chitosan and collagen-chitosan porous scaffolds were produced by the freeze drying method and characterized as potential skin substitutes. Their beneficial effects on soft tissues justify the choice of both collagen and chitosan. Samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope, Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetry (TG). The in vitro cyt...

Flutamide is a potential antineoplastic drug classified as an anti-androgen. It is a therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer, administered orally after which it undergoes extensively first pass metabolism in the liver with the production of several metabolites. These metabolites are predominantly excreted in urine. One of the important metabolites in plasma is 4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)p...

In the title ternary co-crystalline adduct, C7H14N4·2C6H5NO3, mol-ecules are linked by two inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a tricomponent aggregates in the asymmetric unit. The hydrogen-bond formation to one of the N atoms is enough to induce structural stereoelectronic effects in the normal donor→acceptor direction. In the title adduct, the two independent nitro-phenol mol-ecules...

In the title compound, C(6)H(6)N(2)O(3)·C(8)H(8)O(4), the 2-amino-4-nitro-phenol (ANP) and 1-(2,4,6-trihy-droxy-phen-yl)ethanone (THA) mol-ecules are both nearly planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0630 and 0.0313 Å, respectively. The angle between the least-squares planes of THA and ANP is 48.99 (2)°. In THA, an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, ...

In the title compound, C5H9NO2·2C6H5NO3, the pyrrolidine ring of the pyrrolidinium-2-carboxyl-ate zwitterion adopts a twisted conformation on the -CH2-CH2- bond adjacent to the N atom. The mean plane of this pyrrolidine ring forms dihedral angles of 25.3 (3) and 32.1 (3)° with the two nitro-phenol rings. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the pyrrolidinium-2-carboxyl-ate mol-ecule...

A kinetic mechanism to predict secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photo-oxidation of toluene was developed. Aerosol phase chemistry that includes nucleation, gas–particle partitioning and particle-phase reactions as well as the gas-phase chemistry of toluene and its degradation products were represented. The mechanism was evaluated against experimental data obtained from the Uni...
