Chemical investigation of the 90% acetone extract of the branches and leaves of Sabina gaussenii led to the isolation of two new cinnamyl isovalerate derivatives (1-2) and eighteen known compounds (3-20). Their structures were determined mainly by means of MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR data, and this is the first time these compounds have been reported from this plant. The biological activity test results...

Abstract Background Cadmium (Cd) pollution has brought harm to the growth and development of potato. Glutathione (GSH) is an important antioxidant that may play active role in response a potato Cd stress. However, how GSH influences effect on potatoes unknown. In this study, we investigated effects exogenous phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway plant hormone signal transduction under stress exp...

Chemoselective hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehyde to alcohol has attracted growing interests in recent years due its widespread applications fine chemicals. However, the C=O bond was thermodynamically and kinetically unfavorable over C=C bond. Thus, obtain from is very difficult most catalytic systems. In this work, ZnAl-hydrotalcite-supported cysteine-capped Au25 nanoclusters were used as p...

the present study was aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of pimpinella tirupatiensis (pt) by assaying the activities of selective mitochondrial enzymes in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. diabetic rats showed a significant (p < 0.01) reduction in the activities of oxidative enzymes succinate dehydrogenase (sdh), malate dehydrogenase (mdh), glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) and isocitr...

There is much about the action of bismuth within heterogeneous catalysis that still require a deeper understanding. We observed that, when Bi was added to AuPd bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) supported on activated carbon, affected activity and significantly alters selectivity in two model liquid phase reactions, namely oxidation cinnamyl alcohol hydrogenation cinnamaldehyde. A combination trans...
