The inclusion complexes of a new family of nonionic amphiphilic calix[4]arenes with the anti-inflammatory hydrophobic drugs naproxen (NAP) and ibuprofen (IBP) were investigated. The effects of the alkyl chain's length and the inner core of calix[4]arenes on the interaction of the two drugs with the calix[4]arenes were explored. The inclusion complexes of Amphiphiles 1a-c with NAP and IBP increa...

objective status epilepticus (se) has been described as a series of major motor seizure without recovery of consciousness between seizures. se is a medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. in this article we shall conclude history, epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, the best management as well as the prognosis of the condition.

In this chapter the results of kinetic studies of the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation using monodentate phosphoramidite ligands are described. Together with the data obtained by a number of other techniques a mechanism for the Rhcatalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation with MonoPhosTM is proposed. The formation of the catalyst precursor results in a mixture of diastereomeric Rh-complexes w...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (Se) sources on broiler male birds (Ross 308). Uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental Se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic Se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic Se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

Unlike DNA, in addition to the 2'-OH group, uracil nucleobase and its modifications play essential roles in structure and function diversities of non-coding RNAs. Non-canonical U•U base pair is ubiquitous in non-coding RNAs, which are highly diversified. However, it is not completely clear how uracil plays the diversifing roles. To investigate and compare the uracil in U-A and U•U base pairs, w...
