Two new GdEGTA (EGTA = ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid) derivatives incorporating aromatic moieties into the oxoethylenic bridge have been prepared and characterised, their conjugates to HSA investigated and an unprecedented high relaxivity, close to that predicted by theory, interpreted in terms of the combined effect of restricted local rotation and fast rate...

We have shown that Ca(II) ions, ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N-tetraacetic acid, LaCl3, and six known calmodulin inhibitors shift the yeast-mycelium dimorphic potential of Ceratocystis ulmi. Our data are consistent with the conclusions that Ca(II)-calmodulin interaction is necessary for mycelial growth in C. ulmi and that the absence of this interaction leads to the yeast phase.

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a rare neoplastic disorder characterized by central nervous system (CNS) and visceral tumors. We here present (68)Ga-labelled [1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid]-1-Nal3-Octreotide positron emission tomography computed tomography findings in a 52 year old female with VHL syndrome, demonstrating both CNS and visceral tumors.

Studies are described on the phase I and II metabolism and the toxicological analysis of the piperazine-derived designer drug 1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine (TFMPP) in rat urine using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The identified metabolites indicated that TFMPP was extensively metabolized, mainly by hydroxylation of the ...

1.1 Materials: Diamino-polyethylene glycol with MW 2000 Da (PEG2000) was purchased from Rapp Polymer. (3-Glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GOPTS) was purchased from Fluka. EZ-Link NHSBiotin was purchased from Thermo Scientific. Hydrogen peroxide (30% solution), Acetone, Dichloromethane and N, N-Dimethylformamide were purchased from Merck. Imidazole and 2-[4-(2hydroxyethyl) piperazin-1-yl]ethane...

The influence of selenium supplementation during chelation therapy to reduce body burden and toxicity of lead was investigated in rats. Selenium had marginal effects on liver, kidney and blood lead decorporation by calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (CaNa2EDTA) and activation of inhibited delta- aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity by calcium trisodium diethylenetriam...

Benefiting from strong coordination ability and unique vascular structure, EDTA modified L. cylindrica opens up an alternative way for uranium recovery from seawater. However, limitations, such as poor adsorption capacity and slow adsorption rate due to low graft ratio of EDTA via one-step esterification block its practical application. Here, a strategy for increasing the graft ratio is propose...

At present ethylenediamine is one of the more studied nitrogen— —ligands. The main physico—chemical properties of this diamine are reported in this survey. The fundamental techniques for its purification and storage and its acid—base characteristics in aqueous solution are described. The formation constants of the complexes with various metal ion, the thermodyna mic values relative to the react...
