The goal of the study was to predict toxicity in vivo caused by aromatic compounds structured with a single benzene ring and the presence or absence of different substituent groups such as hydroxyl-, nitro-, amino-, methyl-, methoxy-, etc., by using QSAR/QSPR tools. A Genetic Algorithm and multiple regression analysis were applied to select the descriptors and to generate the correlation models...

Many studies in vitro have implicated cytochrome oxidase and monoamine oxidase in the metabolism of epinephrine and other cateehol amines (2). However, no evidence for the participation of cytochrome oxidase in the metabolism of epinephrine in viva has been obtained. Furthermore, several investigations have indicated that monoamine oxidase plays only a minor role in the inactivation of epinephr...

Abstract Background Since Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) has important significance to humans for their medicinal uses, find antivirus activities inhibitors from tobacco, increase its value, and comprehensive utilization of by-products, our group had investigated the chemical constituents stems Y-202, a cultivar tobacco which high resistance mosaic virus (TMV). Results Four new isoindolinone-type ...

O-methyl substituents of aromatic compounds can provide C1 growth substrates for facultative and strict anaerobic bacteria isolated from diverse environments. The mechanism of the bioconversion of methoxylated benzoic acids to the hydroxylated derivatives was investigated with a model substrate and cultures of one anaerobic consortium, eight strict anaerobic bacteria, and one facultative anaero...

in the present work a modified in-tube solid phase microextraction technique followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) has been applied for determination of water odorants. geosmin, 2-methyl isoborneol, 2-isopropyl-3-methoxy pyrazine, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxy pyrazine and 2,4,6-trichloroanisol are of the most important odorants which have been studied. in the described method, analyt...

A new series of N-(5-Mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-phenylacetamide derivatives (3a-3j) were synthesized via an amidation reaction using EDC and HOBt in acetonitrile solvent at room temperature condition. Chemical structures were characterized by 1H NMR, IR and MS spectroscopic methods and related melting points were also determined. The anticancer activity was evaluated using MTT procedure ...

The synthetic route in this work is based on the classical Friedel-Crafts strategy, and began with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (I), followed by alkylation and selective demethylation of 2-methoxy function in 0x0-acid (3). The orthoformylation to synthesize aldehyde (6) was based on the Reimer-Tieman reaction. Chain extension of this aldehyde required methylation of the hydroxyl group and condensat...

abstract: due to the importance of essential oils and their use in various industries, the essential oils of four types of citrus consisting of orange (c. sinesis), tangerine (c. reticulate), sweet lemon (c. limetta) and sour lemon (c. limon) were extracted and subjected to chemical analysis to identify and evaluate the chemical constituents of the oils. the average essential oils of orange, ta...
