Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) a Phase-II drug detoxification enzyme, was detected in Setaria cervi, a bovine filarial parasite. In vitro effect of diethylcarbamazine, butylated hydroxyanisole and phenobarbitone on the GST of adult female S. cervi was assayed by the addition of these compounds in the maintenance medium. The specific activity of GST towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene was incre...

Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals (RTE-BC) is either extruded product from flour (or) flaked corn, wheat rice commonly used as in western countries. Cereal fortification helps to eliminate many nutritional deficiencies various developed nations including United States. Recent techniques make bio-available vitamins and minerals overcome the such iron, calcium etc. The main objective of this study w...

Extracellular superoxide was detected in cultures of monkey and human arterial smooth muscle cells as indicated by superoxide dismutase inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c. Superoxide production by these cells in the presence of Fe or Cu resulted in modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL). The degree of LDL modification was directly proportional to the rate of superoxide production by c...

A method is reported for the determination of diphenylamine and butylated hydroxytoluene in mineral and synthetic oil. The procedure used differential pulse voltammetry with a glassy carbon electrode. This method was then used for determining these antioxidants in supporting electrolyte consisting of dilute sulfuric acid and sodium dodecyl sulfonate in ethanol. Anodic peaks were obtained for bo...

The large availability and renewable nature of lignin makes its upgrading to bioproducts particular interest for sustainable development. hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) anisole specifically represents a model reaction the conversion biofuels through removal aromatic carbon-oxygen bonds. To date, range Ni-based catalysts have been reported as highly active systems HDO anisole. However, there has subst...

a simple and reliable electrochemical sensor based on cobalt oxide nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrode (gce/cooxnps) for determination of butylated hydroxyanisole is presented here. the nanoparticles were fabricated by electrodepositing method. the modified electrode shows excellent catalytic activity toward butylated hydroxyanisole oxidation in ph 12.0 phosphate buffer solution (pbs...

A new microwave-enhanced method for rapid demethylation of methyl phenyl ethers using neat methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H) is presented. Using a monomodal microwave cavity, cleavage of anisole (1), used as model compound, to phenol (2) was achieved with high conversions (ca 80%) in very short reaction times (10–20 s). The feasibility of cleaving one or both of two methoxy groups was illustrated ...

The transient existence of π-allyl-palladium intermediates formed by the reaction of Pd(OAc)(2) and anisole-derived meta photocycloadducts has been demonstrated using NMR techniques. The intermediates tended to be short-lived and underwent rapid reductive elimination of palladium metal to form allylic acetates, however this degradation process could be delayed by changing the reaction solvent f...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(8)H(12)NO(+)·Cl(-), the methoxy group of the cation is co-planar with the phenylene moiety with an r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane of only 0.005 Å. The ammonium N atom deviates from this plane by 1.403 (1) Å. In the crystal, the (4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)methan-aminium cations and chloride anions are linked by N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulti...
