Para-phenylene diamine ( PPD ) systemic intoxication in Saudi Arabia has been increased over the last decade. The aim of the this study was to provide more insight into PPD intoxication with reviewing possible underlying mechanisms. The topical treatment with PPD (2mg/kg) for 5 weeks and its subsequent withdrawal caused decreased in monoamines (noerepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin and histamine...

A thiocyanate ion selective poly(aniline) solid contact electrode based on manganese complex of N,N’-bis-(4-phenylazosalicylidene)-o-phenylene diamine ionophore was successfully developed. The electrode exhibits a good linear response of 58.1 mV/decade (at 20 ̊C ± 0.2 ̊C, r = 0.998) with in the concentration range of 1 × 10 ~ 1 × 10 M thiocyanate solution. The composition of this electrode was: i...

Quinoxaline-2, 3-dione obtained from cyclocondensation reaction of o-phenylene diamine with oxalic acid was reacted with three different ketones and formaldehyde to give the corresponding Mannich bases in satisfactory yield. Their structures were confirmed by using (1)H NMR, IR, and mass analysis. In pharmacological evaluation, the synthesized compounds showed its curative effect against ethidi...

The synthesis of polymer brush decorated silica nano-particles is demonstrated by activator regeneration by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) grafting of poly(tert-butyl methacrylate). ATRP initiator decorated silica nano-particles were obtained using a novel trimethylsiloxane derivatised ATRP initiator obtained by click chemistry. Comparison of de-grafted poly...

Erythrocytes from rats fed large doses of Vitamin A alone, or large doses of vitamin A and vitamin E or diphenyl-p-phenylene diamine (DPPD) were studied for H2O2-induced hemolysis. The vitamin A-dosed rats were more susceptible than normal rats to H2O2-induced hemolysis. Hemolysis was not accompanied by lipid peroxidation. Nevertheless, the antioxidants vitamin E and DPPD inhibited hemolysis in...

Benzimidazole, which is a heterocyclic nucleus, plays an important role in various medicines. A number of therapeutic agents such as H1 antihistaminic agent clemizole, a potent opioid analgesic etonitazene, nonnucleoside antiviral compound enviroxime, for promotion of excretion of uric acid irtemazole, non sedating antihistaminic agent astemizole, anti ulcer drugs omeprazole and pentoprazole, a...

Methods for the synthesis of N1, N8-bis(9-acridinyl)-N4-(4-hydroxybenzyl)spermidine and N1, N7-(hydroxybenzyl)-bis-(3-aminopropyl)amine were investigated. Thus monocyanoethylation of 4-methoxybenzylamine followed by treatment with 4chlorobutyronitrile gave the dinitrile N-(2-cyanoethyl)-N-(3-cyanopropyl)-4-methoxybenzylamine. Subsequent in situ reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gave the ...

The metabolism and excretion of N-(3R)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-3-ylfuro[2,3-c]pyridine-5-carboxamide (1), an agonist of the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholinergic receptor, were determined in both Sprague-Dawley rats and beagle dogs using [3H]1. Initially, 3-tritio-furanopyridine 1 ([3H]1a) was evaluated in pilot mass balance studies by determining total radioactivity recovery and pharmacokinetics i...

A naturally derived monomer, allylated gallic acid (AG), was herein proposed as a monomer for interfacially polymerized thin-film composite nanofiltration membranes. We investigated the synthesis of polyester membranes by varying concentration AG and reaction time with trimesoyl chloride. In addition, we demonstrated polyesteramide film using mixture m-phenylene diamine, although there are few ...

A method for harvesting and purifying the thin polyamide (PA) active layer from thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was developed, enabling quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of composition cross-linking in PA that can be directly related to membrane performance. Using our chemical separation process, we report on four trimesoyl chloride (TMC)/isopht...
