volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori, agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocyanate (0.5%), n-...

The rhizome of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Umbelliferae) is known as "Danggui" in China, has been used widely in traditional Chinese medicine to treat irregular menstruation, anaemia, headache, hypertension, chronic asthma and rheumatism. From the ethyl acetate extract of its roots four phthalides have been isolated. Their structures were identified by MS and NMR spectroscopic methods to b...

the acute intravenous toxicities of a selection of three potential long-acting local anaesthetics belonging to the series of2- phenoxyethyldialkylamine were determined in mice. two of the compounds were tertiary amines and the third a quaternary ammonium derivative.the i.v. median lethal dose, (ldso) of one of the tertiary compounds, 21a [n, n- diethyl-2- (2,6- diisopropyl) ethyl amine hydrochl...

The title compound, [Sn(C(6)H(5))(3)(C(11)H(14)NS(2))], features a tetra-hedrally coordinated Sn atom, as the dithio-carbamate ligand coordinates in a monodentate fashion. Due to the proximity of the non-coordinating thione S atom, distortions from ideal tetra-hedral geometry about the metal atom are evident with the widest C-Sn-S angle being 117.26 (5)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked b...

Ethanol extract and fractions obtained from leaves of Solanum lycocarpum were examined in order to determine their phenolic composition, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic potential. High performance liquid chromatography coupled with DAD analysis indicated that the flavonoids apigenin and kaempferol were the main phenolic compounds present in dichloromethane and ethyl...

Polyvinyl acetate emulsion adhesive has been widely used due to its good bonding performance and environmentally friendly properties. Indeed, the bonding performance can be further improved by copolymerizing with other monomers. In this study, the effect of the adjunction of redox initiator (hydrogen peroxide-tartaric acid, H₂O₂-TA) on the properties of the poly (vinyl acetate-butyl acrylate) (...

The aim of this study was to confirm the existence of volatile organic compounds (VOC) specifically released or consumed by the lung cancer cell line A549, which could be used in future screens as biomarkers for the early detection of lung cancer. For comparison, primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEpC) and human fibroblasts (hFB) were included. VOCs were detected in the headspace of ce...
