Fractionation of an antitrypanosomal lipophilic leaf extract from Strychnos spinosa led to the isolation of eight triterpenoids and sterols in this plant part for the first time. Two of these were found to possess in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, namely, saringosterol (14) and 24-hydroperoxy-24-vinylcholesterol (15), with IC(50) values of 7.8 +/- 1.2 and 3.2 +/- 1.2 microM, respectively. The...

Chaotic attractors contain unstable periodic orbits of any desired period (this is shown in chapter 22 for Axiom A attractors). Furthermore, for an ergodic attractor we know that any trajectory will eventually come arbitrarily close to any of these orbits. This offers the opportunity for controlling chaos: when the chaotic orbit approaches the unstable periodic orbit of interest it can be attra...

The title compound, C(16)H(14)Cl(2)N(4), is isomorphous with 2,9-dimethyl-6H,13H-5:12,7:14-dimethano-dibenzo[d,i]-[1,3,6,8]tetra-azecine [Rivera et al. (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. E65, o2553] and has twofold symmetry, with two carbon atoms located on a twofold axis. Only van der Waals forces occur between molecules in the crystal. In the isomorphous compound the crystal structure is stabilized by wea...

1.1 MYSTIFICATION = Distortions of perceptions of reality that mask/obscure that reality. Ideological practices produce human beings as social subjects by transforming “lived experiences” into subjectivity. Mystification concerns the ways in which cognitive understandings of “what exists” are formed out of our lived experiences, formed in such a way that they distort and mask the way the social...

By developing and maintaining mutually rewarding relationships with selected groups of patients and other partners, pharmacists can more effectively market pharmacy services.

The title compound, C(31)H(50)O, a tetra-cyclic triterpene, was isolated from Ainsliaea henryi. The mol-ecule contains a three-membered ring, a five-membered ring, which exhibits an envelope conformation, and three six-membered rings, which adopt chair conformations.
