A DFT Calculation: Toxicity of Water Soluble Arsenicals

Amelioration of selenium toxicity by arsenicals and cysteine.

Young chicks exhibited a 61% reduction in weight gain when a corn-soybean meal diet was supplemented with 15 mg/kg Se provided as Na selenite. The same level of Se provided as selenomethionine depressed weight gain by 32%. Supplementing the high selenite diet with isoarsenous (14 mg/kg As) additions of As2O5, As2O3, phenylarsonic acid, phenylarsine oxide and roxarsone ameliorated the Se-induced...

Synthesis and DFT Calculation of a New Series of Enaminones based on 3-amino Coumarin

In this paper, the synthesis of various enaminones from the reaction of 3-aminocoumarin and ethyl-2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid is reported. The reaction was examined under different solvents and catalytic systems, which clearly proved the importance of acidic catalyst in this organic transformation. This work was also accompanied by density functional the...

A New Porphyrin for the Preparation of Functionalized Water-Soluble Gold Nanoparticles with Low Intrinsic Toxicity

A potential new photosensitizer based on a dissymmetric porphyrin derivative bearing a thiol group was synthesized. 5-[4-(11-Mercaptoundecyloxy)-phenyl-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (PR-SH) was used to functionalize gold nanoparticles in order to obtain a potential drug delivery system. Water-soluble multifunctional gold nanoparticles GNP-PR/PEG were prepared using the Brust-Schiffrin methodology...

toxicity of water soluble fractions of crude oil to fish, lutjanus argentimaculatus and shrimp, penaeus monodon

the acute toxicity of a malaysian crude oil to red snapper, lutjanus argentimaculatus, blacktiger shrimp and penaeus monodon were investigated. the animals were exposed to water solublefractions (wsf) of crude oil in a flow-through bioassay system and the toxicants were analyzed by gaschromatography (gc) and gas chromatography and mass spectrometer (gc-ms). the 96 h lc50 valuesof the wsf of cru...
