Untargeted metabolomics identified urinary biomarkers able to discriminate between the intake of fresh hand-squeezed and industrially processed orange juices. Processing led an upregulation in excretion hydroxy-polymethoxyflavone sulfates, abscisic acid, sinapic acid 4′-glucuronide. The demethylated polymethoxyflavone metabolites were produced with a significant interindividual variability sugg...

considering multiple reports on cytotoxic activity of the artemisia genus and its phytochemicals, in the current study a. armeniaca lam. and the three components isolated from the plant were subjected to cytotoxic studies. analytical fractionation of a. armeniaca aerial parts for the first time was directed to the isolation of 7-hydroxy-8-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbutoxy) comarin (armenin), 8-hydroxy-...

The effect of hydroxy substitution on 1,4-naphthoquinone toxicity to cultured rat hepatocytes was studied. Toxicity of the quinones decreased in the series 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 1,4-naphthoquinone greater than 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, and intracellular GSSG formation decreased in the order 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone gr...

In the hydrogen-bonding networks of 8-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-3,6-dioxatricyclo[6.3.1.0(1.5)]dodecan-2-one and 5,7-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3,6-dioxatricyclo[5.3.1.0(1.5)]undecan-2-one, both C11H16O5, layers and double strands, respectively, lead to the formation of chains connected by hydroxy-to-hydroxy contacts, where the hydroxymethyl group, present in both structures, acts as a donor. The seconda...

background and aims: 25-hydroxy vitamin d3 is recognized to be an essential element for healthy body; however, its deficiency has been identified as a risk factor for thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus and other autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. thyroid disease is common in the general population that its prevalence increases proportional to age. subjects with poorly controlled diabe...

Reaction of the sulfuric acid ester of /V-hydroxy-4acetylaminobiphenyl and of the acetic acid esters of /V-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl, /V-hydroxy-4-acetylaminostilbene, and /V-hydroxy-2-acetylaminophenanthrene with transforming DNA of Bacillus subtilis in vitro caused both inactivation of transforming activity and the induction of mutations. The parent amides, amines, /V-hydroxy amides, and ...

Abstract. Biotransformations are chemical reactions carried out by microorganisms on organic substrates. can be regio-, chemo-, stereo- and enantio-selective. Bioreductions of great interest to the food pharmaceutical industries as they help reduce costs impacts environment. In this work, following biotransformations chalcones were performed: (2E)-1-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-prop-...

Several unusual fatty acids characterized strains of Francisella tularensis. Long-chain (C20-C26) acids and the hydroxy acids 2-hydroxy-decanoate, 3-hydroxy-hexadecanoate, and 3-hydroxy-octadecanoate appeared to be of special diagnostic value.

antifungal and antibacterial activities at concentrations of 7.8 to 15,6uglml, respectively, and that a possible target of the ITC compounds might be the cellular sulfhydryl group, In recent years, a number of multidrug transporters have been found in various organisms including bacteria and human cells.3) A promising way to conquer such multidrug resistance is to inactivate the eMux protein in...
