The relationship between exocrine pancreatic function and plasma pancreatic polypeptide levels was studied in 14 normal elderly subjects and in ten elderly patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency determined by the para-amino-benzoic acid test. There was a decrease in the total pancreatic polypeptide response after a standard mixed meal in the group with pancreatic insufficiency (t = 2.7...

The amino acid glycine is involved not only in protein formation but in t,he synthesis of glutathione, creatine (l), and the protoporphyrin of hemoglobin (2). However, the mechanism by which the animal organism forms glycine is cluite obscure. It has been generally considered that the “nonessential” amino acids are synthesized from a-keto acids either by amination with ammonia or by transaminat...

The green synthesis of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-4-aryl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol was achieved in four steps, In first step, 4-amino benzoic acid refluxed in ethanol along with catalyst Conc. Sulphuric acid to produce ethyl-4-amino benzoate I. Further compound I refluxed with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol to produce 4-amino benzohydrazide II. Compound II refluxed in ethanolic potassium hydroxide with ca...

Drynariae rhizoma has been used to prevent bone loss that occurs with increasing age. However, the chemical compounds in extracts that act on bone metabolism in herbal medicine are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate and compare the extraction efficacy of polyphenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and in vitro anti-osteoporosis properties of water extract (DR-DW) and ethanol e...

The crystal of the title compound, C(6)H(9)N(3)·C(7)H(6)O(2), contains tetra-meric hydrogen-bonded units comprising a central pair of 2-amino-pyrimidine mol-ecules linked across a centre of inversion by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and two pendant benzoic acid mol-ecules attached through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen-bonded units are arranged into layers in (002).

Benzoic acid and some related compounds are able to increase the metabolism of mycobacteria (Bernheim, 1941). The oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production of the pathogenic strains H-37 and B, are greatly accelerated when small amounts of benzoic or salicylic (o-hydroxybenzoic) acid are added to the bacterial suspensions. Other hydroxybenzoic acids as well as aminobenzoic acids are without e...
