The tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidase reaction commonly used in the Kovacs oxidase test was quantitatively estimated for various Neisseria species employing standardized resting cell suspensions. This genus of microorganisms exhibited very high tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidase rates comparable to that of Azotobacter and Pseudomonas, and this reaction was found to be a valid measureme...

Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

The quinimine form of p-aminophenol inhibits the oxygen uptake of tissue suspensions and in very small concentrations inhibits specifically the oxidation of hypoxanthine and xanthine to uric acid by the xanthine oxidase of liver (1). Closely related compounds such as o-aminophenol, p-phenylenediamine, and quinone, although they inhibit to different degrees the oxygen uptake of tissues, have no ...

ABSTRACT We report a novel signal amplification strategy integrated into a microfluidic paper-based electrochemical immunodevice to perform multiplexed measurement of cancer biomarkers. The signal amplification was achieved by using graphene to modify the immunodevice surface to accelerate electron transfer and silica nanoparticle as a tracing tag to label signal antibodies. Accurate, rapid, si...

Condensation of ethylaceto acetate (EAA) with resorcinol in concentrated H2SO4 afforded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl coumarin (1), which on reaction with thiosemicarbazide in anhydrous pyridine yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-mercaptotriazole (2). Reaction of 2 with formaldehyde solution and amino acid in ethanol yielded 7-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-(N-methyl-aminoacid)-quinolinyl [1,5-c]-2''-merca...

In this paper, Au/CuS composites were fabricated by a two-step method based on a facile solvothermal approach combined with the in situ reduction. It was demonstrated that the Au/CuS composite not only exhibited excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity in the oxidation of the typical peroxidases (o-phenylenediamine and diaminobenzidine), but also showed promising SERS performance with remar...

Condensation of o-phenylenediamine with isatine in refluxing glacial acetic acid gives indolo[2,3-b] quinoxaline. This moiety further condensed with n’-(n-Halo aloxy)-3,4-dihydro carbostyril in refluxing acetonitrile using NaI,K2CO3 and TBAB as catalyst gave us desire product. Series of all six analogs are taken for their antibacterial and antipsychotic activity. The entire tested compound show...

Recently, the detection of natural thymine modified 5-formyluracil has attracted widespread attention. Herein, we introduce a new insight into designing reagents for both the selective biotin enrichment and fluorogenic labelling of 5-formyluracil in DNA. Biotinylated o-phenylenediamine directly tethered to naphthalimide can switch on 5-formyluracil, under physiological conditions, which can the...

Synthesis of Some Benzimidazole derivatives 4'-(5, 6-substitued-2-trifluoromethylbenzoimidazol-1-ylmethyl)-biphenyl-2-carboxylic acid were synthesized by condensation of various steps with different o-Phenylenediamine was condensed with in propylene glycol was added trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of BF3•OEt2 as catalysis. Elemental analysis, IR, 1HNMR and mass spectral data confirmed the ...

A simple and facile method for the preparation ofFe2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell-γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Fe2+ NPs) as an environmentally friendly and recyclable green catalyst is described and used for the one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzoxazole derivatives via reactions between aromatic aldehyd...
