Sebacic acid-based thixotropic supramolecular Ni( ii )/Zn( )-metallogels are utilized for inhibiting poisonous bacteria and offering light-responsive semiconducting diodes with non-ohmic conduction mechanism.

Transformation of natural polymers to three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for biomedical applications faces a number of challenges, viz., solubility, stability (mechanical and thermal), strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Hence, intensive research on suitable agents to provide the requisite properties has been initiated at the global level. In the present study, an attempt was made t...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide-based nanoparticles (SPIONs) are promising carriers as targeted drug delivery vehicles, because they can be guided to their target with the help of an external magnetic field. Functionalization of nanoparticles' surface with molecules, which bind with high affinity to receptors on target tissue significantly facilitates delivery of coated nanoparticles to their targ...

The pharmacokinetics of disodium sebacate (Sb) was studied in Wistar rats of both sexes. Sebacate was administered either as intra-peritoneal (i.p.) bolus (six doses ranging from 10 mg to 320 mg) or as oral bolus (two doses: 80 and 160 mg). Plasma and urinary concentrations of Sb and urinary concentrations of Sb and its products of beta-oxidation (suberic and adipic acids) were measured by an i...

A series of sebacic acid esters containing mercaptobenzothiazole and dialkylenedithiocarbamate, which are potential environmentally friendly lubricating grease additives, were synthesized. The tribological properties as lubricating additives in Li-soap greases were evaluated using a 4-ball tester and SRV tester. The results show that the series of sebasic acid esters with dioctyldithiocarbamate...
