a bacterial culture was isolated from oil-contaminated soil based on its ability to metabolize the quinoline as the sole source of nitrogen. in this research bacillus licheniformis strain was identified based on the result of 16s rrna analysis. optimized conditions were obtained with full factorial experimental design method using design expert software at temperature: 32oc, agitation speed: 20...

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal solvate, C(14)H(10)O(4)S(2)·2C(14)H(12)N(2)·C(4)H(8)O, comprises a 2,2'-(disulfanedi-yl)dibenzoic acid mol-ecule, two mol-ecules of 2,9-dimethyl-phenanthroline and a tetra-hydro-furan (THF) solvent mol-ecule. Each end of the twisted diacid [dihedral angle between the benzene rings = 74.33 (17)°] forms a strong O-H⋯N hydrogen bond with a 2,9-dimethyl-p...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C24H16N2·0.5CH3OH, is comprised of two independent bathophenanthroline mol-ecules (systematic name: 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and one methanol mol-ecule. The bathophenanthroline mol-ecules are not planar as there is a considerable rotation of all terminal phenyl rings with respect to the central phenanthroline units [dihedral angles in the rang...

The behavior of meso-carbon microbeads in the boiling quinoline was investigated. The meso-carbon microbeads used were of three kinds; Type C, Type M and Type P. These were treated in quinoline at 238 •Ž for 30 min. and the insoluble part was filtered out. This procedure was repeated five times. The amount of quinoline soluble part was measured and the structural characteristics of quinoline in...

A new sensitive, simple and rapid method for determination of methotrexate (MTX) was developed based on quenching effects of MTX on the fluorescence intensity of Tb3+-1,10-phenanthroline complex. The fluorescence intensity was measured with excitation wavelength of 300 nm and emission wavelength of 545 nm and the quenched fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of MTX in Tris...

The quinoline ring plays an important role in many biological systems. Their chemical Synthesis is flexible, can be easily adapted to prepare new derivatives and rationally devised structures, and hopefully can be a source of useful drugs in future. Anticancer activities have been studied for many quinoline derivatives. It has been known that quinoline derivatives may act as anticancer agents t...

BACKGROUND Quinoline 2-oxidoreductase (Qor) is a member of molybdenum hydroxylase which catalyzes the oxidation of quinoline (2, 3 benzopyridine) to 1-hydro-2-oxoquinoline. Qor has biological and medicinal significances. Qor is known to metabolize drugs produced from quinoline for the treatment of malaria, arthritis, and lupus for many years. However, the mechanistic action by which Qor oxidize...

The effects of prolonged p.o. administration of quinoline or 2-chloroquinoline on rat liver were examined histologically. Hepatocellular carcinomas and hemangioendotheliomas were observed in the livers of rats fed a basal diet containing 0.05, 0.10, or 0.25% quinoline for about 16 to 40 weeks. However, no neoplastic changes were seen in the livers of rats fed a basal diet containing 0.05, 0.10,...

1. In liver microsomal membranes from adult rabbits treated with beta-naphthoflavone, reaction with Cu2+ salts plus 1,10-phenanthroline leads to the cross-linking of the two specifically beta-naphthoflavone-inducible cytochrome P-450 species, form 4 and form 6, to form homo- and hetero-dimer species. 2. The cross-linking is not reversed by treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol, so that it can be obs...
