Epidemiological evidence indicates that Brassica vegetables protect against colorectal cancer. Brassicas contain glucosinolates, the breakdown products of which exert antiproliferative effects against cancer cells. We have examined the effects of allyl isothiocyanate, a major breakdown product of the glucosinolate sinigrin, on proliferation and death of colorectal cancer cells. HT-29 colorectal...

In field tests in Hungary, Slovenia and Bulgaria, in allyl isothiocyanate-baited traps significantly more beetles of Phyllotreta cruciferae, Ph. vittula, Ph. undulata, Ph. nigripes, Ph. nodicornis, Ph. balcanica, Ph. atra, Ph. procera, Ph. ochripes, Ph. diademata and Psylliodes chrysocephalus (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Halticinae) were captured than in unbaited control traps. With the exceptio...

The aim of this study was to investigate the marginal accuracy of three currently used methods of direct provisional crown construction for the accuracy of marginal fit during in vitro fabrication. Three groups of provisional crowns were investigated using a modified McLean and von Fraunhofer technique. Proprietary provisional crown coping modified to tooth shape with a Bis-acryl temporary mate...

The title compound, C(20)H(20)ClNO(3), is a α-amino acid derivative which displays a Z configuration about the C=C double bond. The dihedral angle betwen the aromatic rings is 87.75 (12)°. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules inter-act through inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inte...

In the title compound, C(14)H(17)N(5), the 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.0325 (7) Å. In the crystal, a pair of inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link neighbouring mol-ecules, forming an inversion dimer and generate an R(2) (2)(10) ring motif. These dimers are further connected into a chain along the b axis via inter-molecular C-H⋯...

The biological treatment processes found wide applications in wastewater, air & solid waste pollution control. The need for alternate cost effective treatment technologies led to similar biological treatment processes for waste gas streams. One such treatment technology is biofiltration. Biofiltration technology utilizes the microorganisms to biologically degrade Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC...

Eight patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the basal ganglionic and deep parietooccipital regions and one patient with an AVM in the shoulder region showed resorption of the isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate cast and recanalization of the arteries after delayed follow-up angiography. All the AVMs were large, had multiple arterial pedicles, and revealed significant obliteration of the AVM ...

There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(14)N(2)O(2)S. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the a axis.
