While salicylates are among the most frequently prescribed drugs, methods for their determination in blood have been neither sufficiently sensitive nor precise. Brodie, Udenfriend, and Coburn (1) have devised a procedure suitable for the clinical measurement of blood salicylate levels if large doses are given. In their method the salicylate is extracted from acidified plasma with ethylene dichl...

Biosynthesis of griseolic acids, competitive inhibitors of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, was investigated with the culture of a producing strain of Streptomyces griseoaurantiacus. 13C-Labeled and 15N-labeled compounds were added into the culture, and 13C-enriched and 15N-enriched griseolic acid A was isolated from the culture medium and analyzed by 13C NMR and 15N NMR spectroscopy. The c...

The performance of non-fullerene, polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaic devices has a significant correlation with the molecular morphology donor and acceptor. authors show that small molecules coordinated to metal oxide, an electron transport seed layer (ETSL), can profoundly modify donor:acceptor inverted (OPV) devices. Using grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering (GIW...

In this study, isophthalic acid-zirconium(IV) nanocomposite has been prepared from zirconyl nitrate pentahydrate and potassium iodide, with isophthalic acid, (C8H6O4=Benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand, via sonochemical method in ethylene glycol and methanol as solvents. The crystalline tetragonal ZrO2 has been produced by thermal decomposition of isophthalic acid-zirconium(IV) nanocompo...

Epoxy/dicarboxylic acid vitrimer was prepared by the solvent-free reaction of diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA) and 1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxylic (CHDA) with addition monobutyltin oxide (Sn) as a catalyst. By tailoring catalyst content (?5 mol %), an effective conversion functional groups during cure demonstrated network polymerization mechanisms sequence side reactions. Indeed, manufactured ...

The title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(C(13)H(21)N)Cl(3)]·CH(2)Cl(2), was obtained by recrystallization of [2-(diisopropyl-amino-meth-yl)phen-yl]tin(IV) butyl dichloride from a CH(2)Cl(2)/n-hexane mixture (1:4 v/v) in the presence of ambient moisture. Partial hydrolysis led to the title compound, the hydro-chloric acid adduct of the dichloride, having a penta-coordinated Sn atom with a trigonal-bipy...

Ethylarsine dichloride was used during WW I as a chemical warfare agent. Residues of this chemical warfare agent and its metabolites are still present today and continue to contaminate soil and water. A gas Chromatographic method for the detection and determination of ethylarsine dichloride is shown. Six dithiols were tested as possible derivatization reagents for ethylarsine dichloride. With s...

Pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid has been studied by single-crystal neutron diffraction at 15 and 296 K. Pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid, in which the carboxylic acid protons have been replaced by deuterons, has also been studied at 15, 150 and 296 K. The protonated structure contains a short N...H...O hydrogen bond [N...O 2.523 (2) Angstrom at 15 K]. Temperature-dependent proton migration occurs ...

Picolinic acid, a pyridine monocarboxylic acid derived from tryptophan metabolism by the kynurenine pathway, was shown to block cortical cholinergic neurotoxicity induced by quinolinic acid (QUIN), a pyridine dicarboxylic acid yielded by the same pathway. This study examined the specificity of the anti-toxic effect of picolinic acid by comparing its effect with several structurally related mono...
