Methionine Capped Nanoparticles as Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors

novel coumarin analogues: as new acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

new pantacyclic tacrines as potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors

Natural sesquiterpen lactones as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.

Background and the purpose of the study: The amount of elder people who suffer from Alzheimer disease is continuously increasing every year. Cholinesterase inhibitors have shown to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of the disease, thus opening a field of research for these treatments. Herbal products, owning a reputation as effective agents in many biological studies are now drawing atte...

Dithiocarbamate-capped silver nanoparticles.

Nanometer-sized silver particles were synthesized by using didecylamine dithiocarbamates as the protecting ligands. With control of the initial ligand-metal feed ratios, the core diameter of the resulting particles was found to vary from about 5 to 2.5 nm, as determined by transmission electron microscopic measurements. The core size dispersity was also found to decrease with increasing feed ra...

Chitosan capped Silver nanoparticles used as Pressure sensors

In the present work, we report the synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles, capped with chitosan (biopolymer ). The majority of the particles produced in this way had sizes around 18 nm. Composite films of capped silver nanoparticles and chitosan polymer were studied to understand the charge transport under different pressure. Films of different compositions were prepared to meas...
