An efficient and rapid method for the synthesis of 3,4,5-substituted furan-2 (5H)-ones has been achieved through a three-component reaction of aniline, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, and aromatic aldehydes using nano-colloidal silica-tethered polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes with eight branches of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (nano-colloidal silica @APTPOSS) as a superior catalyst under m...

Objective.Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) is an irrigant with a  reasonable antibacterial ability and rather high permeability yet often fails to remove the smear layer. To solve this problem, CHX is upgraded through its complexion with chitosan (CS). Methods.Molar roots are split longitudinally by a rotary diamond saw. Chlorhexidine-chitosan (CHX-CS) is made by combinatio...

Objective(s): To study the antimicrobial property of green synthesised silver nano metals with M.balbisiana, A.indica and O.tenuiflorm and their enhanced antibacterial activity, assessment of antimicrobial effect. And to explore the possible mechanism of AgNPs synthesis in the active constitutions of selected temperate plant extracts Materials and methods:Biosynthesis of AgNPs using plant extr...

Biological systems provide many examples of specifically tailored, nanostructured molecules with highly optimized properties and characteristics. These biomaterials are composite materials and consist of an inorganic component and a special organic matrix. Crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (S-layers( are the outermost cell envelope component of many eubacteria and archaea and are compos...

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) using noninvasive backscatter (NIBS) detection technology is capable of measuring the hydrodynamic radius of proteins over a large concentration range (0.1 mg/mL to 100 mg/mL). As a result, it is possible to determine, in actual biopharmaceutical formulations, the bulk viscosity/restricted diffusion interaction parameter (kD), particle interaction parameter (B22),...

The aim of the present work was to prepare and characterize biopolymer nanocarriers and evaluate their suitability in possible oral delivery of insulin. The egg albumin biopolymer was used to prepare nanoparticles which were further characterized by Fourier transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, Dynam...

We describe the calixarene-cyclodextrin-coupling via click reaction starting from 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-dipropargylether-26,28-hydroxy-calix[4]arene (calix[4]arene-dipropargylether) (2) onto 6I-azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose (3) under microwave assisted conditions. The coupling was proven by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, ¹H NMR and IR-spectroscopy. The pH dependent supramolecular c...

The formation and dimensions of G-wires by different short G-rich DNA sequences in solution were investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). To explore the basic principles of wire formation, we studied the effects of base sequence, method of preparation, temperature, and oligonucleotide concentration. Both DLS and PAGE show that thermal anneali...

Polybutadiene nanoparticles were synthesized via batch emulsion polymerization of butadiene in the presence of potassium persulfate, disproportionate rosinate potassium cation and t-dodecyl mercaptane as initiator, emulsifier and chain transfer agent, respectively. Polymerization reaction was performed at different temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °C). Conversion was measured at the various time int...
