The preparations and characterization of polypyrrole – polyethylene glycol (PPy-PEG) films are reported in this paper. The composite films were synthesized by electrochemical method in 0.2 mol·L-1 Py and 5% PEG in 0.2 mol·L-1 oxalic acid. The electrochemical behaviour of PPy and PPy-PEG coatings has been investigated in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) by cyclic voltammetry, Tafel plots and elec...

A green, efficient synthesis of 5-arylidene rhodanine and 2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives without using any external catalyst in polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 80°C has been described. Reaction procedure is very simple, short, and obtained yields are very high.

Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycols and polyethylene glycols (PEG) with molecular weight up to 20,000 were degraded by soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa able to use a PEG of average molecular weight 20,000 was isolated from soil. Washed cells oxidized mono- and tetraethylene glycols, but O2 consumption was not detectable when such cells were incubated for short per...

Solubility of lornoxicam in various pure solvents and solvent-cosolvent mixtures was studied to understand drug vehicle interactions and in order to get the required solubility equal to the dose of lornoxicam, i.e., 4 mg/ml for development of solution formulation. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, propylene glycol, ethanol, water, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethyl acetate were used...

The synthetic polyether polyethylene glycol (PEG) with a molecular weight of 20,000 was anaerobically degraded in enrichment cultures inoculated with mud of limnic and marine origins. Three strains (Gra PEG 1, Gra PEG 2, and Ko PEG 2) of rod-shaped, gram-negative, nonsporeforming, strictly anaerobic bacteria were isolated in mineral medium with PEG as the sole source of carbon and energy. All s...

to determine the effects of priming and planting density on improvement of morphological and physiological traits of the two hybrid corns sc (s.c. 704) under double cropping in sari, a split plot experiment as randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2010. treatments included two densities of 80 and 100 thousand plants per hectare as the first factor and osmoprim...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was genetically incorporated into a polypeptide. Stop-anticodon-containing tRNAs were acylated with PEG-containing amino acids and were then translated into polypeptides corresponding to DNA sequences containing the stop codons. The molecular weights of the PEG used were 170, 500, 700, 1000, and 2000 Da, and the translation was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The PEG i...

this study investigated the applicability of polyethylene glycol (peg-4000) coated fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles for the selective removal of toxic pb (ii) ion from wastewater. the fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles of 24 nm were synthesized using a coprecipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibratingsample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd). sem image...

Diazepam possesses potent anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety activity and also indicated for the treatment of insomnia. It is very slightly soluble in water and shows poor dissolution. Presently, liquisolid compact technique is found to be used extensively as one of the successful tool to enhance the solubility and dissolution of various poorly soluble drugs. The principle focus of this study is to f...
