Many studies have tried to look for the application of chitosan in tissue engineering since its structure is similar to glycoaminoglycans, the main components of the extracellular matrix. Previous studies had indicated that the incorporation of sulfonic or phosphonic functionalities would be beneficial to the growth of certain cells. However, no study has explored the effect of incorporation o...

In this research, this possibility was investigated the relative stablilty geometry and bindingenergies of the hydrogen bonds of Molybdate-Phosphonic Acid (MPA) complex in gas phase onthe basis of result of ab initio and DFT calculations. Three DFT methods have been applied forcalculations are B3LYP, BP86 and B3PW91 that have been studied in two series of basis sets:D95** and 6-31+G(d,p) for hy...

Phosphonothrixin (1) is a novel herbicidal agent produced by Saccharothrix sp. ST-888. This unique compound possessing a C-P bond and an isoprene unit was determined to be 2-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-3-oxobutyl-phosphonic acid. Unusually rapid proton-deuterium (H-D) exchange of the methyl ketone unit of this antibiotic in D2O solution was observed. Phosphonothrixin can be classified as a new type...

Isolated clusters of 15 Co atoms interconnected by six organic linkers, each with two carboxylic and one phosphonic groups, N(CH(2)COO(-))(2)(CH(2)PO(3)(2-)), are synthesized with deprotonated trans-cyclohexanehexacarboxylic acid, C(6)H(6)(COO(-))(6), as counteranions. The cis conformation of the latter, on the other hand, coordinates to the same clusters by replacing the terminal water ligands...

Efficient synthetic route to novel 2'-spirocyclopropanoid 4'-deoxythreosyl phosphonic acid nucleosides was described from 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butene. Cyclopropane moiety was prepared via ester enolate alkylation using (2-chloroethyl)dimethylsulfonium iodide. Synthesized nucleoside analogues 16, 19, 23 and 26 were tested for anti-HIV activity as well as cytotoxicity. However, none of them showed any...

Compounds containing the -PO3H2 function, such as monoesters of phosphoric acid and phosphonic acids, specifically bind to aluminium oxide in aqueous solution under experimental conditions where non-phosphorylated compounds are completely desorbed. The bound organic phosphate can be specifically displaced by aqueous solution of inorganic phosphates thus allowing their separation or detection by...

Control clumps of Selaginella wallacei Heiron., sprayed with distilled water with Tween 20, produced a high proportion of microsporangia. Similar clumps sprayed with 2-chlorethyl-phosphonic acid, and ethylene-releasing compound (Ethephon), at 7.65 and 76.5 mg/liter produced almost exclusively megasporangia. Treatment of Selaginella pallescens (Presl) Spring with Ethephon at 34 mg/liter caused t...

General. Linkers used in preparation of modified hyaluronan (HA) derivatives were synthesized according to stated literature procedures. Their structures are given in Scheme S1. Particularly, 3,3'dithiobis(propionic hydrazide) 11 and 2-(2-pyridinyldithio)ethyl hydrazinecarboxylate 32 were used to attach thioland 2-dithiopyridyl-terminated side chains to HA backbone respectively. 3-(Acrylamido-1...
