The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding 9,10 anthraquinone, a known inhibitor of methanogenesis and sulfate reduction, on blood metabolites, digestibility, and distribution of gas in sheep. In all experiments, we fed a complete pelleted diet that contained 17.5% crude protein and 24.5% acid detergent fiber. In an 8-wk study, feeding up to 66 ppm (dry matter basis) of 9...

An unstable anthraquinone was isolated from hairy root cultures of Sesamum indicum after preventing light throughout all experimental procedures. The structure of the (Z)-isomer of a previously isolated anthraquinone was determined to be 2-[(Z)-4-methylpenta-1,3-dien-1-yl]anthraquinone by spectroscopic methods. This compound was readily isomerized to the known (E)-isomer under light.

Owing to the importance of storage and its hybridization with renewable energy technologies for transition, a high attention has been paid towards development redox flow batteries. Among all different emerging technologies, aqueous organic batteries (AORFBs) are particularly attractive since objectives in terms sustainability, cost safety issues can be achieved owing possibilities offered by mo...

It has been suggested that the rol genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes could play an essential role in the activation of secondary metabolite production in plant transformed cultures. This study investigated whether the content of anthraquinone phytoalexins was changed in callus cultures of Rubia cordifolia transgenic for the 35S-rolB and 35S-rolC genes in comparison with a non-transformed callus...

BACKGROUND In Korea, Aloe is routinely ingested as a traditional medicine or as a component of health beverages. OBJECTIVE To research the inhibition of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) activities of components from Aloe. MATERIALS AND METHODS the compounds were isolated by a combination of silica gel and YMC Rp-18 column chromatography, and their structures were identified by analysis of...
