The DPD (N, N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) is introduced in the present study as an analytical reagent for direct, rapid, easy, and sensitive spectrophotometric detection of hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) species which health hazard. oxidization colorless with results a red color radical (DPD•+) at pH 4.39. intensity directly proportional to concentration. By utilizing UV-Vis spectrophotometer, mea...

The interactions of a series of platinum(II) Schiff base complexes with c-myc G-quadruplex DNA were studied. Complex [PtL(1a)] (1 a; H(2)L(1a)=N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-4,5-methoxy-1,2-phenylenediamine) can moderately inhibit c-myc gene promoter activity in a cell-free system through stabilizing the G-quadruplex structure and can inhibit c-myc oncogene expression in cultured cells. The interaction...

It was possible to quantitate the terminal oxidase(s) reaction using bacterial resting-cell suspensions and demonstrate the usefulness of this reaction for taxonomic purposes. Resting-cell suspensions of physiologically diverse bacteria were examined for their capabilities of oxidizing N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) using a manometric assay. For organisms having this capability...

The oxygen uptake which is observed when Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores are illuminated under air and in the presence of reduced 2, 6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP), 2, 3, 5, 6-tetra-methyl-P-phenylenediamine (diaminodurene, DAD) or N, N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMDP) depends on the electron-donor concentration according to the equation of Michaelis-Menten. The apparent Km for th...

Two fractions ET-1 and TW isolated from Terminalia arjuna were evaluated for their antimutagenic potential against 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPD) in TA98, sodium azide in TA100 and 2-aminofluorene, in both TA98 and TA100 tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium using bacterial reverse mutation assay. Both the fractions inhibited the mutagenicity of 2AF significantly in both the strains. ET-1 ...

Hemoglobin adducts of 10 polyfunctional amino- and nitro-substituted benzenes and toluenes were analyzed: 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene, 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene, 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene, 2,4- and 2,6-diaminotoluene, 1,3-dinitrobenzene, 1-amino-3-nitrobenzene, and 1,3-diaminobenzene. A single dose (0.5 mmole/kg) of the test compounds was administered to female Wistar rats by g...

The condensation polymer derived from reaction between titanocene dichloride and 2-nitro-1,4-phenylenediamine was doped by mixing the polymer with different amounts of iodine. This bulk doping of the titanocene polyamine resulted in an increase in bulk conductivity from 10 to over 1,000 fold. Conductivity increased to a doping level of about 10 to 15% iodine. Conductivity decreased as the sampl...

were performed according to the guidelines of the Spanish Contact Dermatitis Research Group (abbreviated in Spanish to GEIDAC) using the standard GEIDAC series and a rubber series (Chemotechnique, Malmö, Sweden). Readings at 48 and 96 hours were positive (++) for the carba mix, the thiuram mix, the black rubber mix, tetramethylthiuram monosulfide, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, N-cyclohexylN-phe...

Semithin and thin sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed, epoxy resin-embedded animal tissues were treated with solutions of oxidized p-phenylenediamine (PPD). This method is suitable to reveal the general morphology of tissues in light microscopy, showing a high staining degree in some polyanion containing components. Posttreatments of thin sections with gold chloride solutions give considerable ele...

A diarylethene derivative bearing a phenylenediamine group formed radical ions with an electron acceptor molecule in solution, and the concentration of the radical ions was modulated by the photochromic reaction of the diarylethene, reflecting the difference in the electron-donating character between the open- and closed-ring isomers.
