Whereby cholesterol presents one of the major fatty substances in human body, carboxymethyl cellulose is a water-soluble derivative of cellulose, the most abundant dietary fiber. Whereas on one hand in vivo precipitation of cholesterol is the major cause of atherosclerosis, dietary fibers are on the other hand known for their ability to clean the fatty plaque deposited on intestinal pathways, a...

Effects of highly hygroscopic sorbitol, citric acid, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or polyvinylpolypyrrolidone, on the hydrolysis of simvastatin in tablets at 25°/90% RH were studied. The simvastatin tablets were prepared by direct powder compression. Simvastatin and its hydrolyte, simvastatin acid, were quantitatively analysed by high performance liquid chromotography. The hygroscopicity, wat...

Carboxymethyl cellulose is widely used in many industrial aspects and also in laboratory due to its good biocompatibility. However, special researches on infrared especially aiming at the hydrogen bonds structure of carboxymethyl cellulose were relatively poor. We demonstrate here a full view of infrared spectroscopy in the temperature range of 40–220 C, mainly aiming at the hydrogen bonds in t...

A sodium carboxymethyl cellulose porous scaffold has been obtained using the slurry spray technique as a binder for silicon anodes that demonstrate remarkably improved cycling stability and rate performance.

Novel drum-like Cd(OH)(2) superstructures with uniform size were synthesized on a large scale through a facile one-pot hydrothermal route with the co-existence of ammonia and biopolymer sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solutions.

The immunogenicity of the soluble phase I antigen of Coxiella burnetii for guinea pigs was enhanced by a nuclease-resistant complex of polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidylic acid, poly-L-lysine, and carboxymethyl cellulose.

In the course of an investigation of the chemical phosphorylation of ribonucleasel (cf. (l)), it became necessary to develop a chromatographic procedure for the fractionation of the phosphorylated protein. The method of Hirs et al. (2), employing the weak cation exchanger Amberlite XE-64, is an extremely valuable method for the chromatographic purification of pancreatic ribonuclease, but the us...
