in this scientific research work we report a novel method to synthesis co3o4 nanoparticles via calcinations of cobalt hydroxide which can be conveniently prepared by the co(no3 )2.6h2o with different reactants. in order to study the effect of calcination temperature on structure and morphology of the nanoparticles, the calcinations take place at various temperatures (at 300°c, 500°c and 700°c)....

The detection of hydrogen peroxide, chlorophyll pigments, anthocynin, carotenoids, total phenolic compounds and lipid peroxidation levels as potential stress signaling molecules in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) leaves in response to specific mineral deficiency were studied. The stress signaling molecules were measured in the plant leaves at different growth time points cultured in spec...

We found previously that stimulation of c-fos and c-myc mRNA expression are early events in hydrogen peroxide-induced growth in rat aortic smooth muscle (RASM) cells. In the present study, we investigated the role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and protein kinase C (PKC) in mediating hydrogen peroxide-induced c-fos mRNA expression in RASM cells. Mepacrine and p-bromophenacylbromide, potent inhibito...

Hydrogen peroxide is extensively used as a biocide, particularly in applications where its decomposition into non-toxic by-products is important. Although increasing information on the biocidal efficacy of hydrogen peroxide is available, there is still little understanding of its biocidal mechanisms of action. This review aims to combine past and novel evidence of interactions between hydrogen ...

The hydrogen peroxide dissociation on MgO(001) films deposited on Mo(001) surface is investigated by employing periodic density-functional theory methods. The pristine MgO(001) surface showing chemical inertness prefers the weak adsorbing molecular configuration and is extremely difficult to react with hydrogen peroxide. As far as we know, energetically favorable decomposition state of hydrogen...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline drug widely used in chemotherapy for cancer patients, but it often gives rise to multidrug resistance in cancer cells. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of hydrogen peroxide in DOX-sensitive mouse P388/S leukemia cells and in the DOX-resistant cell line. Hydrogen peroxide induced a significant increase in dose- and time-response cell death in...

A new method for the synthesis of water soluble Polyaniline (PANi) using Hemin Chloride (H.C) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H.P) is presented. Hemin chloride is an effective catalyst for the oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of hydrogen peroxide at room temperature. The UV- Vis absorption spectra of the product show a distinct absorption peak at 430 nm in pH 4.0 b...

BACKGROUND Arnica montana L. and Artemisia absinthium L. (Asteraceae) are medicinal plants native to temperate regions of Europe, including Romania, traditionally used for treatment of skin wounds, bruises and contusions. In the present study, A. montana and A. absinthium ethanolic extracts were evaluated for their chemical composition, antioxidant activity and protective effect against H2O2-in...
