Vanadium Compounds as Driers for Linseed Oil

Vanadium Compounds as PTP Inhibitors.

Phosphotyrosine signaling is regulated by the opposing actions of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Here we discuss the potential of vanadium derivatives as PTP enzyme inhibitors and metallotherapeutics. We describe how vanadate in the V oxidized state is thought to inhibit PTPs, thus acting as a pan-inhibitor of this enzyme superfamily. We discuss recent...

Linseed and Linseed Oil: Health Benefits- a Review

Linseed is an important oil crop cultivated worldwide for oil and fiber. Linseed oil has health benefits and disease preventive properties on coronary heart disease, some kinds of cancer, neurological and hormonal disorders. Linseed Linum usitattissimum family Linaceae) has been traditionally used as functional food. Linseed oil is the richest source of ALA, which makes about 55–60% of total fa...

Tung Oil and Linseed Oil as Traditional Finishing Materials Important for Furniture Conservation

Tung oil and linseed oil are two representative traditional drying oils wich were commonly employed, for centuries, for wood finishing. Therefore, their study in terms of properties, chemical structure features and alterations by ageing is important for furniture conservation. This paper focusses on some comparative properties of Tung oil and linseed oil as wood finishing materials. For this pu...

Immobilized Vanadium Compounds within Nanoreactors of Al-MCM-41 as Catalyst for Epoxidation of Alkenes

VO2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of Al-MCM-41 designated as VO2+/Al-MCM-41 or VOL2/Al-MCM-41, were prepared and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), FT-IR, BET nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. VO2+/Al-MCM-41 and VOL2/Al-MCM-41 were found to catalyze...
