Gangliosides GM2 [GalNAc 1-4(NeuAca2-3)Gal 14Glc M-1Cer] and GD2 [GalNAc il-4(NeuAca2 -8NeuAca23)Gal 1-4Glc il-1Cer] are cell surface tumor-associated antigens and have been demonstrated to be important markers of human malignant melanoma progression. Expression of these glycolipid antigens on melanoma tissues can be assessed by immunohistochemistry or biochemical analysis. These methodologies,...

Within recent years, ganglioside patterns have been increasingly analyzed by MS. However, internal standards for calibration are only available for gangliosides GM1, GM2, and GM3. For this reason, we prepared homologous internal standards bearing nonnatural fatty acids of the major mammalian brain gangliosides GM1, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b, and of the tumor-associated gangliosides GM2 and GD2...

     Cobalt hydrogensulfate is an efficient catalyst for the condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120 °C to afford 9,9-dimethyl-12-phenyl-8,10,11,12-tetrahydro-9-H-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives in high yields. Also, polycondensation reactions of phenols with phthalic anhydride were carried out in the presence of cobalt hydrogensu...

In the title moleclue, C(19)H(21)NO, the 4-piperidone ring adopts a chair conformation in which the two benzene rings and the methyl group attached to C atoms all have equatorial orientations. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric dimers are formed through weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds [the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 58.51 (5)°].

In the title compound, C(10)H(10)O(2), all the non-H atoms except the methyl C atoms lie on a crystallographic mirror plane. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into zigzag chains running parallel to [100]. Weak π-π stacking inter-actions between the benzene rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.9817 (5) Å] link the chains in the [010] direction.

Bentonite has been modified using H2SO4 at various concentrations to alter the Si/Al ratio that is responsible for catalytic pyrolysis of waste polyethylene. The XRF analysis confirmed a gradual decrease Al2O3 content with an increasing concentration H2SO4. highest liquid hydrocarbon yield (87.48 %) was obtained 34.24. To further activate acid-modified bentonite, bimetals (Cu/Ni, Fe/Ni, and Co/...
