A method is described for the detection of 2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate aldolase activity after electrophoresis of the enzyme on polyacrylamide gels. When gels are incubated with substrate (2-keto-4-hydroxyglutarate), activity is seen as a yellow-colored band due to interaction’ of the product (glyoxylate) with ortho-aminobenzaldehyde and glycine. Positive results have been obtained using either c...

• Poultry provides a sustainable income at minimal investment as well as security against risk and is a cheap source of protein, especially for poor households in developing countries. Hence, it is important to emphasize the relationship between livelihood and poultry in designing pro-poor HPAI control strategies. • There is need for a more rigorous consideration of the links between scale of p...

Dichloromethane root extract of Rennellia elliptica Korth. showed strong inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum growth in vitro with an IC₅₀ value of 4.04 µg/mL. A phytochemical study of the dichloromethane root extract has led to the isolation and characterization of a new anthraquinone, 1,2-dimethoxy-6-methyl-9,10-anthraquinone (1), and ten known anthraquinones: 1-hydroxy-2-methoxy-6-methyl-9,10...

Condensation and cyclization of 5-hydroxy- 1,2,4- thiadiazol-2-yl hydrazine 1 with pyruvic acid, phenacyl bromide, propargyl bromide and ally1 bromide afforded compounds 2,5,7 3, 4 ,6 and 8 respectively, Reaction of 1 with epichforohydrine afforded 4-hydroxy-N-[5-hydroxy- 1 ,3,4-thiadiazoly1] pyrazolidine 9

The title compound, C(19)H(17)ClN(2)O(5)S, was synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 6-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-2-mercapto-4-methyl-1,6-dihydro-pyrimidine-5-carboxyl-ate and dimethyl acetyl-ene-dicarboxyl-ate in methanol. In the mol-ecule, the nearly planar thia-zole ring, with a mean deviation from the plane of 0.0108 (3) Å, is fused with a dihydro-pyrimidine ring in a flattened half-chair conformation.
