A simple method is described for the preparation of caprylic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic anhydrides. Reaction of the free fatty acid and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in carbon tetrachloride at room temperature gives the corresponding anhydrides in high yield (87-94%).

Well-defined nanoporous palladium (np-Pd) fabricated by a modified electrochemical dealloying procedure is demonstrated to be an excellent electrocatalyst material for reductive degradation of both carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene.

The free energy of complexation of supramolecular complexes containing phenol-carbamate H-bonds is an additive function of the number of H-bonds, with a constant increment of 6 kJ mol(-1) per interaction in carbon tetrachloride.

Molecular targeted agents are pharmacologically used to treat liver fibrosis and have gained increased attention. The present study examined the preventive effect of lenvatinib on experimental sinusoidal capillarization as well in vitro phenotypes hepatic stellate cells. LX-2, a human cell line, was for studies. In vivo induced F344 rats using carbon tetrachloride by intraperitoneal injection 8...

The present work was carried out to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of ginger, chicory and their mixture against carbon tetrachloride intoxication in rats. Carbon tetrachloride treatment significantly elevated the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyltransferase activities and the serum triglycerides and cholesterol concentration a...

Syzygium jambos (L.) Alstone belonging to the Myrtaceae family have been investigated for evaluation of their biological activities namely antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, aqueous soluble fractions of methanolic extract as well as crude methanolic extract of stem barks of Syzygium jambos were evaluated for their free radical scavenging acti...

In the present study, the hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Amorphophallus campanulatus (Roxb.) tubers were evaluated against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatic damage in rats. The extracts at a dose of 500 mg/kg were administered orally once daily. The substantially elevated serum enzymatic levels were significantly restored towards normalization by the ex...

A poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membrane containing iron (Fe(0)) particles was developed and tested as a model barrier for contaminant containment. Carbon tetrachloride, copper (Cu2+), nitrobenzene, 4-nitroacetophenone, and chromate (Cr04(2-)) were selected as model contaminants. Compared with a pure PVA membrane, the Fe(0)/PVA membrane can increase the breakthrough lag time for Cu2+ and carbon tet...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of dihydromyrcenol and geranyl formate extracted from the Vitis vinifera L. plant in a rat model of acute hepatic injury induced by carbon tetrachloride. METHODS The study was performed on 54 Sprague-Dawley male rats. The animals were divided into 9 study groups with 6 rats in each. At the end of the 7-day study period, the ...
