A series of thieno[2,3-b]thiophene moiety-containing bis-cyanopyrazoles 5a-c, bis-aminopyrazole 9 and bis-pyridazine derivatives 11 were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial potential. The antimicrobial activity of some selected products was evaluated and showed good results. 5,5'-(3,4-Dimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-diyl)bis(3-acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-ca...

Germinating spores of Geotrichum candidum produce only a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-linked glutamate dehydrogenase. Synthesis of glutamate dehydrogenase was repressed by the presence of ammonia, whereas urea, glutamate, or glutamine were ineffective. The enzyme was not subject to catabolite repression and was localized in the cell sap fraction. The glutamate dehydrogenase has b...

Pollution generated by the misuse of large amounts fruit and vegetable waste has become a major environmental social problem for developing countries due to absence specialized collection centers this type waste. This research aims generate electricity in an eco-friendly way using red dragon (pitahaya) as fuel single-chamber microbial cells on laboratory scale zinc copper electrodes. It was pos...

Abstract Function modification of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) having phosphorus-containing heterocyclic compounds is believed to have thermal and biological applications in the area polymers. The synthesis PVA (P-PVA) was performed using γ-radiation. chemical structure composite polymer confirmed by spectroscopic techniques FT-IR, 1 H, 13 C, 31 P-NMR. Photosensitive properties polymers were investi...

The study of lag phase provides essential knowledge for food quality control. With respect to significance Geotrichum candidum in the context, aim this was quantitatively characterize relationship between temperature (6–25 °C) and initial decline period during G. phase. decrease cells primary modelled by Weibull’s model define first-decimal reduction time (δ). Subsequently, death rate (LDR) val...

The aim of the present study was to determine the preventive effect of the traditional Chinese medicine, Dendrobium candidum Wall ex Lindl. (D. candidum), on CCl4-induced hepatic damage in mice. The CCl4-induced hepatic damage mice were treated with D. candidum, and the serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), triglyceride (T...

CONTEXT Dendrobium candidum (D. candimum) widely is a functional drug. The curative effect of D. candidum on lupus nephritis has been studied in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHOD The DBA/2 and B6D2F1 mice were used for this in vivo experiment. The 50% effective dose (ED50) was used to check the effective concentration for this study. Then the SCr, BUN, TC, TG, IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels we...
