The title compound, C(22)H(18)N(2)O, was synthesized from naphthalen-2-ol, benzaldehyde and pyridin-2-amine. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(16) dimers by pairs of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the naphthylene ring system and the phenyl ring is 72.86 (12)°.

A wireless magnetoelastic sensor has been developed for the determination of 2-naphthol (2-NAP) in human urine. This method is based on the precipitation of 2-NAP with diazonium salts produced by the diazo-reaction of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) with nitrite under a weak alkaline condition, resulting in a descending of the resonance frequency of a wireless magnetoelastic sensor. The frequence shift ...

The applicability of non-protected room temperature phosphorescence (NP-RTP) in real samples was demonstrated in the present work. In this methodology, only two reagents, potassium iodide and sodium sulfite, were used to obtain phosphorescent signals. Overlapping of the phosphorescence spectra was resolved by using first-derivative synchronous phosphorimetry. The synchronous first-derivative sp...

Our study objectives were (1) to investigate the selectivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) metabolites for tobacco smoke exposure and (2) to determine half-lives of PAH metabolites in smokers. There were 622 participants from the United States (US) and Poland, and of these, 70% were smokers. All subjects provided spot urine samples, and 125 smokers provided blood samples. Urinary PAH...

A thermostable phenol sulfotransferase, SULT1A1, has been implicated in numerous detoxification and bioactivation pathways; however, little is known regarding its endogenous function or its putative role in mediating risk for human environmental disease. A simple endpoint colorimetric assay is described that can be used for rapid phenotyping of SULT1A1 activity in human populations. The assay u...
