In vitro transcorneal permeation of diclofenac from oil drops was studied using freshly excised goat cornea. The maximum apparent corneal permeability coefficient (Papp) was obtained with 0.2% (w/v) diclofenac drops in sesame oil followed by safflower oil, while formulation in castor oil provided minimal Papp. The addition of benzyl alcohol, a preservative, in oil drops, increased the Papp valu...

This study compared the efficacy of a common medication diluent, bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride containing the preservative benzyl alcohol with lidocaine hydrochloride 1% as an intradermal pretreatment for the relief of pain associated with intravenous cannulation. Forty adult presurgical patients requiring two large bore intravenous catheters were used. They served as their own controls. ...

Evidence is presented for the existence in bacterium N.C.I.B. 8250 of two inducible NAD(+)-linked benzaldehyde dehydrogenases. They may be distinguished in crude extracts by their different thermal stabilities at high pH values, benzaldehyde dehydrogenase I being much more heat-stable than benzaldehyde dehydrogenase II. Only benzaldehyde dehydrogenase I is activated by K(+) and certain other un...

In hair beauty treatments such as permanent waving and hair coloring, and in daily treatments using shampoo and hair conditioner, most of the hair care products are used under wet conditions. Therefore, it is important to understand how water-soluble products penetrate into hair. The structural information of hair in aqueous solutions seems essential for understanding the penetration mechanism....

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(2), reside on crystallographic centres of inversion located at the mid-point of the N-N bond. The benzyl-idene ring is essentially coplanar with the central hydrazine group, with an inter-planar angle of 4.5 (2)°, whereas the phenyl ring is oriented at 34.0 (3)° with respect to the mean plane of the central 1,2-dibenzyl-idenehydrazine group. In ...

The molecule of the dinuclear title compound, [Tl(2)(C(9)H(10)NS(2))(6)], possesses a crystallographically imposed centre of symmetry. Each Tl(III) atom is seven-coordinated by S atoms of four different dithio-carbamate anions in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The crystal structure is stabilized by a C-H⋯S hydrogen-bond inter-action linking complex mol-ecules into ch...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(24)H(6)O, the mol-ecule exhibits point symmetry m but the mirror plane is not utilized as part of the space-group symmetry. The structure contains face-to-face inter-actions between the 2,4-dimethyl-benzyl-idene substituents in which the methyl groups lie directly above the centroids of adjacent benzene rings.

Selective oxidation of alcohols is a fundamental and significant transformation for the large-scale production of fine chemicals, UV and visible light driven photocatalytic systems for alcohol oxidation have been developed, however, the long wavelength near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) light have not yet fully utilized by the present photocatalytic systems. Herein, we reported carbon quantu...

The title compound, C(16)H(15)BrN(2)OS(2), was obtained from the condensation reaction of benzyl dithio-carbazate and 2-bromo-5-meth-oxy-lbenzaldehyde. In the mol-ecule, the bromo-meth-oxy-phenyl ring and dithio-carbazate fragment are located on the opposite sides of the C=N double bond, showing the E conformation. The dithio-carbazate fragment is approximately planar (r.m.s deviation 0.0187 Å)...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(15)H(24)OS, shows S conformations for the S atom and the asymmetric C atom of the isooctyl group. The long axes of the mol-ecules are directed along the c axis. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular bifurcated C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
