Six compounds (IBA, chlorogenic acid, cytokinine, GA3, alar B-9 and maleic hydrazide) belonging to four different categories of plant growth hormones were used to study their effect on carbohydrate content in L. erysimi. The second instar nymphs (48 hr old) were given both dipping and leaf surface treatment with 1024 ppm concentration of compounds for two time intervals i.e. 48 and 96 hr. The c...

The inhibitory effect of benzoic acid hydrazide (bah) and 3-methoxybenzoic acid hydrazide (mbah) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains has been compared to that of their platinum(II) complexes: cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2], cis-[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2].0.5 H2O, cis-[Pt(mbah)2X2] and cis[Pt(NH3)(mbah)Cl2] (mean = Cl, Br = I), and cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]. The minimal inhibitory concentrations for bah and mbah were 5000-2...

The new 1,3,4-oxadiazolylquinoxaline ring system was synthesized by the condensation of the quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide acid hydrazide 6 with acetyl chloride in one-pot synthesis. In which the hydrazide was refluxed in excess of acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride or acetic acid in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride forming the 1,3,4-oxadiazolylquinoxaline ring system. Molecular modeling studies ...

Glycosylation of flagellins by pseudaminic acid is required for virulence in Helicobacter pylori. We demonstrate that, in H. pylori, glycosylation extends to proteins other than flagellins and to sugars other than pseudaminic acid. Several candidate glycoproteins distinct from the flagellins were detected via ProQ-emerald staining and DIG- or biotin- hydrazide labeling of the soluble and outer ...

UNLABELLED The ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-cinnamic acid) is a phenolic compound with important antioxidant effects and which nowadays is being extensively studied for his potential indications in inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc. AIM The synthesis of new ferulic acid compounds with potential antioxidant activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS The...

We designed a novel molecular biosensing system for the detection of biotin, an important vitamin by the combination of fluorescent unnatural streptavidin with a commercialized biotin-(AC5)2-hydrazide. A fluorescent unnatural amino acid, BODIPY-FL-aminophenylalanine (BFLAF), was position-specifically incorporated into Trp120 of streptavidin by four-base codon method. Fluorescence of the Trp120B...

Diclofenac sodium has been used for its anti-inflammatory actions for about 28 years, but since all the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) suffer from the lethal gastro intestinal (GI) toxicities, diclofenac sodium is not an exception. The free –COOH group is thought to be responsible for the GI toxicity associated with all traditional NSAIDs. In the present research, the main motto...
