A simple and highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of pipecolic acid in mouse brain areas was developed. After homogenization of brain and pretreatment with o-phthalaldehyde, the pipecolic acid and (2S,3S)-3-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (internal standard) were derivatized with 4-(5,6-dimethoxy-2-phthalimidinyl)-2-methoxyphenylsulfonyl chlor...

A new carboxylic acid extractant, named 2-(dibutylcarbamoyl)benzoic acid, is prepared and its potential for selective solvent extraction and recovery of lead ions from industrial samples was investigated. The slope analysis indicated that the lead ions are extracted by formation of 1:2 metal to ligand complexes. The effect of the parameters influencing the extraction efficiency including kind o...

Thermal analysis of acrylonitrile/acrylic acid P(AN/AA) copolymer films containing 5%, 10% and 20% acrylic acid dendrigrafted with citric acid (CA) is examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with various heating rates, thermogravimetry (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetric analysis (DTG). Also, the effect of carboxylic acid on thermal stabilization of the P(AN/AA) copolymers, wh...

The title compound, [Ag(C(9)H(5)N(2)O(4))(C(9)H(6)N(2)O(4))]·H(2)O, contains one independent Ag atom, a neutral 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (bdcH), its monodeprotonated form, i.e. 5-carboxyl-ato-1H-1,3-benzimidazole-6-carboxylic acid (bdc), and one solvent water mol-ecule, the latter being disordered over three sites with site occupancy factors of 0.375 (× 2) and 0.25. In addition, t...

In this study, bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-methyl-1,2-phenylenediimine (BSMP) as a Schiff base ligand of N2O2-type and its Mn and Fe complex as M-BSMP catalyst were synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The efficiency of Fe- and Mn-BSMP catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with tetra...

Determination of the structure of heparin-derived oligosaccharides by H NMR is challenging because resonances for all but the anomeric protons cover less than 2 ppm. By taking advantage of increased dispersion of resonances for the anomeric H protons at low pD and the superior resolution of band-selective, homonuclear-decoupled (BASHD) two-dimensional H NMR, the primary structure of the heparin...

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in shallow groundwater are increasingly being studied due to the global occurrence, environment persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential human health risk. In this research, 16 PFAS (11 perfluorinated carboxylic acids 5 sulfonic acids) concentrations were quantified obtain information on geographical distribution detection pattern for 4 years South Korea. re...

UNLABELLED L-cysteine is essential for virtually all living organisms, from bacteria to higher eukaryotes. Besides having a role in the synthesis of virtually all proteins and of taurine, cysteamine, glutathione, and other redox-regulating proteins, L-cysteine has important functions under anaerobic/microaerophilic conditions. In anaerobic or microaerophilic protozoan parasites, such as Entamoe...

Using a conditioning paradigm, the olfactory sensitivity of CD-1 mice for a homologous series of aliphatic n-carboxylic acids (ethanoic acid to n-octanoic acid) and several of their isomeric forms was investigated. With all 14 odorants, the animals significantly discriminated concentrations as low as 0.03 ppm (parts per million) from the solvent, and with four odorants the best-scoring animals ...
