The cytotoxic potential of ammonium-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs) with four hydrogen bond donors, namely glycerine (Gl), ethylene glycol (EG), triethylene glycol (TEG) and urea (U) were investigated. The toxicity of DESs was examined using In Vitro cell lines and In Vivo animal model. IC50 and selectivity index were determined for the DESs, their individual components and their combinatio...

Miscanthus, is a promising bioenergy crop, considered superior to other crops because of its higher water and nutrient use efficiency, cold tolerance, production biomass. Broadleaf weeds grass weeds, cause major problems in the Miscanthus field. A field experiment was conducted 2018 2019, assess effects pre-emergence (alachlor napropamide) post-emergence herbicides (nicosulfuron, dicamba, benta...

Temporary ponds where many amphibians breed experience a gradual desiccation that leads to growing larval densities, which can reduce tadpole survival rates and increase cannibalistic interactions among carnivorous salamander larvae. Concentrations of many agrochemicals, including nitrogenous fertilizers, can also increase as the water volume decreases. We analyzed the effects of ammonium nitra...

Fertilization of agricultural plants with ammonium [Formula: see text] is often desirable because it is less susceptible to leaching than nitrate [Formula: see text] reducing environmental pollution, risk to human health and economic loss. However, a number of important agricultural species exhibit a reduction in growth when fertilized with [Formula: see text] and increasing the tolerance to [F...

Surfactants have long been known to have microbicidal action and have been extensively used as antiseptics and disinfectants for a variety of general hygiene and clinical purposes. Among surfactants, quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) are known to be the most useful antiseptics and disinfectants. However, our previous toxicological studies showed that QAC are also the most toxic surfactants fo...

Novel eutectic mixtures have been produced using calcium chloride hexahydrate as the hydrogen bond acceptor, together with ethylene glycol donor. The liquids are found to increased conductivity, decreased viscosity and a lower glass transition temperature compared most deep solvents quaternary ammonium salts. Additionally, metal speciation was be almost same in commonly-used choline chloride: D...

stachys lavandulifolia is used as the herbal tea and its wide and potent medical effects have been reported for the extract in animal studies. this study aimed to find the safety profile of the extract to find the appropriate doses for further human studies. the aerial parts of the plant were air-dried and the hydroalcoholic extract was obtained and concentrated by percolation method with 140 m...
