BACKGROUND Pyrazoline derivatives have been found to possess a broad spectrum of biological activities. Among various pyrazoline derivatives, 2-pyrazolines seem to be the most frequently studied. A variety of methods have been reported for the preparation of this class of compound. However, in spite of their potential utility, some of the reported methods suffer from drawbacks such as long reac...

The irradiation of bilayer lipid membranes with continuous ultrasound of a frequency of 8.2 MHz and a spacial peak time average (SPTA) intensity of 0.4 W/cm2 reduces the thickness of the unstirred layer up to 40% of its initial value under our conditions. This result was obtained from measurements of the transmembrane potential which appears after the addition of a protonophore in the presence ...

background: one of the new methods for elimination or destruction of estrogen hormones is ultrasound irradiation. the aim of this study was to determine the main mechanism of steroid hormones removal by ultrasound. methods: in this study, estrogen (e1) and 17 beta-estradiol (e2) were irradiated with ultrasound at different frequencies, powers, and exposure times in two cases: with and without b...

Background: Hemodialysis is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from blood when kidneys cannot function efficiently. It often involves diverting blood to the filter of the dialysis machin to be cleared of toxic substances. Fouling of pores in dialysis membrane caused by adhesion of plasma protein and other toxins will reduce the efficacy of the filtre.Objective: In This study, the infl...

A simple and efficient synthesis of 1,2-diarylethanols has been developed. The procedure involved the reaction between a variety of toluene derivatives and aryl aldehydes under conventional heating and ultrasound irradiation. This procedure possesses several advantages such as operational simplicity, high yield, safety and environment benignancy. Ultrasound was proved to be very helpful to the ...

A simple and green chemical procedure was reported for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones from various aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea or thiourea using  holmium chloride as catalyst. The reactions were performed under solvent free conditions with ultrasound irradiation as the energy source. The advantages of this protocol include the excellent yield, operational simplicity, short tim...

Caffeine loaded magnetic nanoparticle was successfully synthesized and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The resulting nanocom...
