This study investigates the effects of two surfactants (one anionic and one non-ionic) and controlled modifications in temperature (298-323K) on the permeation of two structurally similar compounds through a silicone membrane using a Franz diffusion cell system. In all cases the presence of an anionic surfactant, namely sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), reduced the permeation of both compounds (me...

The mechanism of propene loss from protonated phenyl n-propyl ether and a series of mono-, di-, and trimethylphenyl n-propyl ethers has been examined by chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry in combination with tandem mass spectrometry experiments. The role of initial proton transfer to the oxygen atom and the aromatic ring, respectively, has been probed with the use of deuterated CI reage...

These experiments investigate the decomposition mechanisms of geminal dinitro energetic materials by photolytically generating two key intermediates: 2-nitropropene and 2-nitro-2-propyl radicals. To characterize the unimolecular dissociation of each intermediate, we form them under collision-free conditions using the photodissociation of 2-bromo-2-nitropropane; the intermediates are formed at h...

In the present research, silica bonded n-propyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (SPTT) was synthesized by direct incorporation of chloropropyl groups through co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane (CPTMS) and subsequent grafting the melamine onto the propyl groups via simple nucleophilic substitution reaction. The catalyst has been characterized by ...

The discovery of the antifertility activity of gossypol led scientists and researchers to the development of compounds with antifertility activity that can be used as male contraceptives. These studies resulted in discovery of the antifertility activity of several classes of compounds which have been reported in the literature. This article deals with the synthesis of four new analogues of pyri...

The structures of four selenium analogues of the antithyroid drug 6-n-propyl-2-thiouracil [systematic name: 2,3-dihydro-6-n-propyl-2-thioxopyrimidin-4(1H)-one], namely 6-methyl-2-selenouracil, C(5)H(6)N(2)OSe (1), 6-ethyl-2-selenouracil, C(6)H(8)N(2)OSe (2), 6-n-propyl-2-selenouracil, C(7)H(10)N(2)OSe (3), and 6-isopropyl-2-selenouracil, C(7)H(10)N(2)OSe (4), are described, along with that of t...

The effects of hypothyroidism for a short period of postnatal life on the induction of persistent estrus by androgen were investigated in female rats of 10 and 13 days of age. Hypothyroidal new born rats produced by feeding propyl thiouracil (PTU) to the mother rats, were more succeptible to the persistent-estrus inductive influence of androgen than normal and thyroxine-therapied hypothyroidal ...
