A new live-cell permeable, fluorescent probe comprised of a simple salicylimine-based Schiff base (SA1) has been developed for Al3+ with nano-molar sensitivity in aqueous media. SA1 was synthesized through a simple structural modification of a recently reported receptor SA2 by the incorporation of the N,Ndiethylamino (DEA) group as a fine controllable unit. This modification affects the perform...

al3+-potentiometric sensor, based on (2z) -methyl 2- ((z) (p-tolylimino)-3-ethyl -4-oxothiazolidin -5- ylidene) acetate (mteoy) as a neutral ionophore, was successfully developed for the detectionof al3+ in aqueous solutions. the electrode responds to al3+ ion with a sensitivity of 19.8 ± 0.1 mv/decade over the range 1.0 x 10-8- 1.0 x 10-1 mol lt' and in a ph range of 3.0-9.0. the electrodeshow...

The complexation of five recently synthesized hydroxy-thioxanthone derivatives with Al3+ ion was studied in a methanol solution spectrophotometrically, and the stepwise formation constants of the resulting 1:1 and 2:1 (ligand-to-metal) complexes were evaluated. The suitability of the thioxanthone derivatives as neutral ionophores for the preparation of a new Al3+ ion-selective PVC-membrane elec...

Methane emission was inhibited by aluminium ion in paddy fields. Addition of Al3+ (20 mM) to the culture medium containing cells of pure Methanosarcina barkeri, inhibited methanogenesis. Methanogenic co-factor, F-420, was isolated and purified from Methanosarcina barkeri MS. Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric analysis of interaction between co-factor, F-420, and Al3+ revealed that they ...

conclusions: the results of the present study indicated that oral preparation of cm with an acceptable taste is feasible. background: chlorpheniramine maleate (cm) is widely used as an antihistaminic drug but it is very bitter and as yet no mouth dissolving/disintegrating taste-masked preparation that might be useful for pediatric and geriatric patients is available in the market. objectives: t...

A novel, fluorescent chemosensor based on β-(2-pyridyl)acrolein-rhodamine B (RB-AC) derivative was synthesized and its sensing performance with poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) polymer particle was investigated. The prepared β-(2-pyridyl)acrolein-rhodamine B/poly(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate (PEGDMA/ RB-AC) particle was used for sensing of Al3+. The PEGDMA/RB-AC particles showed ...

Aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant metal in earth crust, whose chemical form is mainly dependent on soil pH. The most toxic form of Al with respect to plants is Al3+, which exists in soil pH <5. Acidic soil significantly limits crop production mainly due to Al3+ toxicity worldwide, impacting approximately 50% of the world's arable land (in North-Eastern India 80% soil are acidic). Al3+ to...

From July 2008 to June 2009, livers of the swamp eels (Monopterus alba) were investigated for advanced third-stage larvae (AL3) of Gnathostoma spinigerum. Results revealed that 10.2% (106/1,037) and 20.4% (78/383) of farmed eels from Aranyaprathet District, Sa Kaeo Province and those of wild-caught eels obtained from a market in Min Buri District of Bangkok, Thailand were infected, respectively...
