The histochemical creatine phosphokinase (CPK) tetrazolium test has been evaluated to detect recent human myocardial infarction in gross slices of the heart at necropsy. The demonstration of the lesion with this method has been assumed to result from local loss of CPK from the damaged myocardium. However, the present study indicates that the mechanism involved depends on localising NADPH tetraz...

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising materials for the development of biodegradable implants. However, the current in vitro test procedures for cytotoxicity, cell viability and proliferation are not always suitable for this class of materials. In this paper we show that tetrazolium-salt-based assays, which are widely used in practice, are influenced by the corrosion products of Mg-based alloys. ...

Detailed structural and noncovalent interactions in two thiazole derivatives (N-(4-Bromophenyl)-2-(methylthio)thiazole-5-carboxamide Ethyl-5-((4-bromophenyl)carbamoyl)thiazole-4-carboxylate) are investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction study computational approaches. The structure investigation revealed that various like C-H…O, N-H…O, N-H…N hydrogen bonds Br…Br involved constructing rin...

A series of novel 1-anilino-4-(arylsulfanylmethyl)phthalazines were designed and synthesized. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, elemental analysis and MS. The analogues 1-(3-chloro-4-fluoroanilino)-4-(3,4- difluorophenylthio-methyl)phthalazine (12) and 1-(4-fluoro-3-trifluoromethylanilino)-4- (3,4-difluorophenyl-thiomethyl)phthalazine (13) showed higher activity ...

2-Hydrazino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole , 2-(2 , 2-dimethyihy drazi no)-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole, 2-hydrazino-4-(4-nitro phenyl)thiazole, and 2-hydrazino-4-(4-aminophenyl)thiazole were fed to female Sprague-Dawley rats, and all were found to be potent carcinogens. Each induced chiefly carcinomas of the mammary gland (32/35 , 30/3 1, 27/34, 34/35 , respec tively), as well as a lower incidence...

The objective of this research was to develop an appropriate tetrazolium methodology for viability and vigor evaluation of squash seeds. The following procedures were tested for preconditioning of the seeds: moistening in wet paper towel for 16 to 24h at 25°C; immersion in water for 15, 30 and 60 minutes at 40°C for tegument removal, and for 30 and 60 minutes for removal of the embryo surroundi...

Background: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) has great potential as therapies due its ability to regenerate tissue damage and promote homeostasis. Preconditioning of MSC in low oxygen concentration been shown affect the therapeutic these cells. This study aimed compare characteristic secretion trophic factors MSCs cultured under hypoxia normoxia. Methods: were isolated from Wharton's jelly human umb...

In the search for new and effective prodrugs against the herpes simplex virus, a series of acyclovir analogues with a thiazole ring containing amino acids (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine) has been investigated. The chemical stability of some of the compounds containing different residues was studied at pH 1 and pH 7.4 at a temperature of 37°C. An HPLC method was developed for quantification ...
