In the present study, cadmium (Cd) accumulation capabilities of aquatic macrophytes Ceratophyllum demersum, Bacopa monnieri and Rotala rotundifolia were determined after treating both individual and triple macrophytes. The macrophytes were treated with Cd at 0, 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/L concentrations in a controlled chamber for 12-days. Cadmium accumulations increased with increasing Cd concentratio...

Cinnamomum longepaniculatum essential oil (CLEO) possesses antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. However, CLEO shows volatilization poor solubility, which limits its application field. In this research, inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with were produced, physicochemical properties characterized. Response surface methodology was used to obtain optimum prepara...

The solubility of trihexyphenidyl (Thp) was improved by its combination with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and modified β-CDs. The solubility of Thp was found to be increased in the presence of β-CD, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD) and sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD). In particular, the solubility of Thp in conjunction with SBE-β-CD was increased by a f...

Aldosterone increases blood pressure (BP) by stimulating sodium (Na) reabsorption within the distal nephron and collecting duct (CD). Aldosterone also stimulates endothelin-1 (ET-1) production that acts within the CD to inhibit Na reabsorption via a negative feedback mechanism. We tested the hypothesis that this renal aldosterone-endothelin feedback system regulates electrolyte balance and BP b...

The two dinuclear Cd(II) complexes [Cd(BPMST)(SCN)]2 (1) and [Cd(BPMST)(N3)Cl]2 (2) of a s-triazine/pyrazolo ligand (BPMST) were synthesized. preparation both was performed in water–ethanol solvent mixture involved the mixing functional BPMST with CdCl2 presence thiocyanate or azide as linkers, respectively. formula involvement pesudohalide linker between centers approved by single crystal X-ra...

Cadmium (Cd) is a highly toxic pollutant and nonessential element for plant growth. Here, we investigated the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), H2O2, sugars, activity gene expression antioxidant enzymes sugar metabolism-related in mycelia Pleurotus eryngii grown presence 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0 mg·L−1 Cd. Raising Cd concentration resulted increases, followed by decreases (MDA) H2O2 mycelia. The...

Here, we report improved solubility and enhanced colonic delivery of reduced bromonoscapine (Red-Br-Nos), a cyclic ether brominated analogue of noscapine, upon encapsulation of its cyclodextrin (CD) complexes in bioresponsive guar gum microspheres (GGM). Phase-solubility analysis suggested that Red-Br-Nos complexed with β-CD and methyl-β-CD in a 1:1 stoichiometry, with a stability constant (Kc)...

The spectral properties of Bowman-Birk soybean trypsin inhibitor (BBI) were investigated by analyzing difference absorption spectra and difference CD spectra and by comparing them with those of tyrosyl model compounds. The O-acetylation of tyrosyl side chains showed that the ultraviolet CD bands of BBI above 225 nm originate from disulfide side chains and tyrosyl phenolic groups; phenylalanyl r...

Root exudates are carriers for the transfer of material, energy and information between plant roots soils. Plants encountering environmental stresses such as heavy metal pollution adapt to environment by producing secreting root exudates. In this study, laboratory soil culture experiment pot with Sedum plumbizincicola were used study effects single combined application three exudates, citric ac...

in order to quantify and simulate the response of lemon balm (melissa officinalis l.) plants to cadmium (cd) concentrations in the soil, a pot experiment was conducted using completely randomized design (crd) with three replicates during 2014. the treatment consisted of twelve cd concentrations from 0 to 300 mg kg-1 of cd in the soil which was mixed with the experimental soil before planting. l...
