Abstract The mitigation process of greenhouse gases emission such as CO2 into the atmosphere is known a vital necessity in modern societies. Nowadays, amino acid salt solutions (AASSs) have been extensively applied promising alternative to alkanol amine absorbents increase sequestration efficiency from disparate gaseous flows. This article aims computationally and theoretically evaluate separat...

Amino acid-based surfactants were used as the main surfactants to prepare new lyotropic mixtures presenting three nematic phases. One of them is biaxial (NB), and the two others are uniaxial, discotic (ND) and calamitic (NC). These surfactants were the non-chiral molecules, potassium N-dodecanoyl-DL-alaninate (DL-KDDA), potassium N-dodecanoyl-DL-serinate (DL-KDDS), disodium N-dodecanoyl-DL-aspa...

Water-soluble 20(S)-glycinate esters of two highly potent 10,11-methylenedioxy analogues of camptothecin (CPT) have been synthesized and evaluated for their ability to eradicate human breast cancer tumor xenografts. The glycinate ester moiety increases the water solubility of the 10,11-methylenedioxy analogues 4-16-fold. However, in contrast to CPT-11, a water-soluble CPT analogue that was rece...

BACKGROUND Iron fortification of foods is currently a strategy employed to fight iron deficiency in countries. Liposomes were assumed to be a potential carrier of iron supplements. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the iron transport from ferrous glycinate liposomes, and to estimate the effects of liposomal carriers, phytic acid, zinc and particle size on iron transport...

Forty infants, 6 to 36 mo old, with iron-deficiency anemia (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) were matched and assigned to two groups. One group received FeS0(4) and the other received ferrous bis-glycinate chelate at a dose of 5 mg of Fe daily per kilogram of body weight for 28 d. Both groups had significant hemoglobin increases (P < 0.001), but only the group treated with ferrous bis-glycinate chelate ha...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Co(C(2)H(4)NO(2))(C(9)H(6)NO)(2)]·CH(3)OH, the Co(III) atom is chelated by two quinolin-8-olate and one glycinate anions in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The five-membered chelating glycinate ring assumes an envelope conformation. The complex mol-ecules are assembled by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

The role of carbon dioxide in global warming is one of the contemporary environmental issues and it is, therefore, necessary to have available technology to capture the released CO2 into the atmosphere. Amino acids have the same amine functionality as alkanolamines with similar behavior towards CO2 absorption. The solubility of carbon dioxide in potassium glycinate (KG) solutions with different...

Platinum complexes of amino acids and peptides [1 – 5] have found interest as potential antitumor drugs with the idea that the coordinated bioligands might favor the transport and/or the selective uptake of the cytotoxic platinum unit into tumor cells [6 – 8]. Complexes of the type [Cl2Pt(N,Oamino acid anion)]− are formed from K2[PtCl4] and amino acids and have been reported as early as 1912 by...
