Taking as a model the N-terminal folding of the cholecystokinin tyrosine-sulfated octapeptide [CCK-8; Asp-Tyr(SO3H)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-Phe-NH2] deduced from conformational studies, two cyclic cholecystokinin (CCK) analogues were synthesized by conventional peptide synthesis: Boc-D-Asp-Tyr(SO3H)-Ahx-D-Lys-Trp-Ahx-Asp-Phe-NH2 [compound I (Ahx, 2-aminohexanoic acid)] and Boc-gamma-D-Glu-Tyr(SO3H)...

Postsynthetic modification can be used to introduce sulfonamide functionalities into MOF frameworks. Using sulfonyl chlorides as reactive intermediates, Cr-MIL-SO3H and CAU-1-NH2 have been further modified to give hitherto unknown functionalized MOFs in which a sulfonamide group is bound to the framework either by its N or its S atom.

We describe a bottom-up surface functionalization to design hybrid molecular coatings that tether biomembranes using wet chemistry. First, monolayer was formed by immersion in NH2-Ar-SO3H solution, allowing aryldiazonium salt radicals spontaneously bind it via strong C bonding. After formation of the air-stable and dense (–Ar-SO3H), subsequent activation used form highly reactive –Ar-SO2Cl grou...

Motion sickness in rodents could be induced with vestibular stimulation from rotation [1]. However, rats and mice could not nauseate and vomit due to the powerful barrier between the stomach and the esophagus [2]. Instead, they exhibit pica behavior (eating of kaolin), which has already been thought as an alternative to nausea and vomiting in rats [3]. Nonetheless, no significant increase in ka...

this study was carried out to examine the effects of kaolin spray for reducing the adverse effects of high radiation and temperature, especially on fruit sunburn in apple. treatments were four concentration of kaolin (0, 2, 4, and 6%) and two important and commercial apple cultivars in fars province; ‘golden delicious’ and ‘starking delicious’. trees physiological parameters, fruit sunburn and ...

Traditional processing of kaolin is achieved by dispersion of the mined ore and classification by means of multistage hydrocyclones. The inefficiencies inherent to cyclones produce a middling product that is commonly disposed back to the quarry. In this research recovery of kaolinite from tailings of the Zonoupz kaolin washing plant, which is located in Iran, was investigated by cationic flotat...

The synthesis, electronic spectral, and photophysical properties of a new bithiophene derivative, (2,2′-bithiophene)-3,5,5′-trisulfonic acid, α2-SO3H, were investigated in organic or aqueous soluti...

A number of SO3H-functionalized solids (biochar, montmorillonites, carbon and halloysite nanotubes) has been studied as catalysts in the cascade Prins-Ritter reaction (-)-isopulegol with benzaldehyde acetonitrile for synthesis octahydro-2H-chromene amides (as 4R- 4S-isomers). high selectivity to these products at 30 °C presence H2O was observed on modified chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) reaching 84%...

A 34 year old man, registered disabled as a result of muscle weakness, was admitted to hospital because of increasing weakness. He had profound hypokalaemia and admitted to taking up to 1400 ml of kaolin and morphine mixture daily. After considerable potassium replacement muscle power recovered completely. The hypokalaemia is likely to have been caused by the combination of liquorice extract an...
