The expression of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2 specific antibodies for Leishmania infantum was studied in five groups of dogs in Catalonia (Spain): I, 99 asymptomatic dogs (infected and uninfected) from a highly endemic area for leishmaniosis; II, 139 untreated dogs with clinically patent leishmaniosis; III, 11 naturally infected asymptomatic dogs monitored for up to 5 years since they were found seropos...

In the title compound, (C(7)H(10)N)(3)[SbCl(5)]Cl, the Sb(III) cation is coordinated by five Cl(-) anions in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the longest Sb-Cl distance of 3.0319 (14) Å indicates a weak coordination bond. In the crystal, the 3-methyl-anilinium cations link with the complex antimonate anions and Cl(-) anions via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

Inorganic cations have been localized in several animal and plant tissues by means of the pyroantimonate fixation procedure (1-3) . We demonstrated that an aqueous solution of potassium pyroantimonate enters the cell without disruption of cell membranes and produces electron-opaque cation-antimonate precipitates in a constant and reproducible manner. The results obtained in mouse testis (3) wer...

Introduction Parenteral antimony-based compounds are still the standard of care for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) treatment in many countries, despite their high toxicity. Previous studies showed that oral azithromycin could be an option for CL treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral azithromycin (AZ) for CL treatment compared with injectable meglumine antimo...

The crystal structure of meglumine diatrizoate has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data optimized density functional theory techniques. Meglumine crystallizes in space group P2 1 (#4) with a = 10.74697(4), b 6.49364(2), c 18.52774(7) Å, β 90.2263(3), V 1292.985(5) Å 3 , Z 2. Two different structures, which yielded essentially identical refinement residuals pos...

Several different types of burial were identified during the excavation Roman military cemetery associated with fort at Birdoswald, on Hadrian’s Wall (UK). Fragments glass vessels and beads recovered from many cremation deposits, as they commonly used rituals, these had been affected by heat. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy to investigate raw materials, colorants op...

A method was developed for the conjugation of aminopropyl spacer-bearing carbohydrates with epoxy groups on crown nanoparticles consisting a copolymer N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and allyl glycidyl ether in basic buffer, opening prospects design vectorized nanocomposite drug forms. conjugate above trisaccharide A, synthetic blood group antigen, synthesized. Meglumine used to bind any unreacted epoxid...
