in this study antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic effects of some new 2,3-disubstituted 4(3h)-quinazolinone derivatives have been evaluated. the in vitro antibacterial and antifungal tests of new synthesized compounds were performed using maba method against six strains of bacteria (three gram-positive and three gram-negative) and three strains of fungi. also minimum bactericidal concentrat...

background: toluene is a volatile organic compound, one of 189 hazardous air pollutants (hap s ) and the most important pollutant found in most industries and indoor environments; owing to its adverse health, toluene must be treated before being released into the environment. methods : in this research study, a continuous-flow system (including an air compressor, silica gel filters and activate...

background: quaternary ammonium compounds (qac), which contain benzalkonium chloride as the most widely used agent, are employed as wound and skin antiseptics, as well as disinfectants in hospitals. the resistance mechanism to disinfectants is usually determine by genes which are related to resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds, namely, qace, qacδe1, qacδe1 that are found in gram-negative...

abstract this study was carried out in japan for evaluation of the relationship between phenolic compounds and skin color indices of 3 apples cultivars including ‘fuji’, ‘jonathan’ and ‘jonagold’, in 2006. in ‘jonathan’, l* (lightness) increased with decreasing red color of skin. in ‘jonagold’, chroma increased with increasing red color. but in ‘fuji’, there was no detectable difference between...

a simple, mild and efficient method for the regioselective nitration of various aromatic compounds usingpoly(4-vinylpyridinium nitrate) (p4vpyn) in the presence of melamine trisulfonic acid (mtsa), is reported.this method provides several advantages such as good selectiveity between ortho and para positions ofaromatic compounds, clean procedure, simple work-up, short reaction times, solvent-fre...

the impact of phenolic-contaminated water on microbial community structure was assessed using biolog microarrays techniques. the following biolog plates were used: gen iii plates, new test panel for identification of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, ecoplates microarray for evaluation of functional diversity of microbial communities and phenotype microarrays (pms) for characteriza...

organophosphate (op) poisoning is one of the most common causes of poisoning in developing countries especially in southeastern asia. poisoning with phosphorus-containing organic chemicals or op compounds can be managed with antidotes like oximes which are potential reactivators of acetylcholinesterase (ache). the efficacy of oxime therapy in op poisoned patients mainly depends upon various fac...
