Vitis vinifera L.is a traditional Asian herb widely used for different health problems. In thepresent research, the ethanolic and the aqueous extracts of Vitis vinifera L. leaves collected fromshrub, grown in Tunisia, were prepared and evaluated for the antileishmanial activity againstLeishmani ainfantum promastigotes. The inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was determined andthe results showed ...

In this study, glutaraldehyde cross-linked chitosan support, as well the catalysts obtained after loading Ag metal (Ag/Chitosan), were synthesised and applied for adsorption reduction of phenol red dye in an aqueous solution. The Ag/chitosan characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) inductively coupled plasma-op...

The copper(II) complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane [Cu(II)-cyclen] was covalently immobilized in mesoporous silica aerogel. This immobilization significantly alters the catalytic activity Cu(II)-cyclen when referenced to dissolved oxidation phenol by H2O2 aqueous solution. In order understand this phenomenon, functionalized aerogel characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 poro...

Quinone-based aqueous flow batteries provide a potential opportunity for large-scale, low-cost energy storage due to their composition from earth abundant elements, high aqueous solubility, reversible redox kinetics and their chemical tunability such as reduction potential. In an operating flow battery utilizing 9,10-anthraquinone-2,7-disulfonic acid, the aggregation of an oxidized quinone and ...

Introduction Toltrazuril (Tol) is used to prevent and combat coccidiosis. However, its low aqueous solubility and poor oral bioavailability limit clinical application. Methods To overcome the shortcomings, toltrazuril-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex (Tol-HP-β-CD) was prepared and characterized. The comparative plasma disposition kinetics of Tol was analyzed after a single orall...

The main types of analytical procedures used in thermal-lens spectroscopy and microscopy, which are based on photometric reactions in (i) aqueous solutions, (ii) organo-aqueous mixtures, (iii) polymer-containing (nonionic surfactants or polyethylene glycol) aqueous solutions, (iv) water-organic extraction systems, and (v) two-phase aqueous extraction systems, were compared from the viewpoint of...

A kinetic study of the reaction between vitamin C (Lascorbic acid, A S H ~ ) and a tocopheroxyl radical (7tert-butyl-6-isopropyltocopheroxyl) in Triton X-100 micellar solution has been performed using stoppedflow spectrophotometry. The second-order rate constants (k,) obtained showed notable pH dependence with a broad maximum around pH 8. For instance, the kz values obtained were 26 M” s-l at p...
