background: there are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. there are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consu...

Uncultured tumor-infiltrated spleen cells (TISpC) from mice bearing large (20-22 mm) s.c. MOPC-315 plasmacytomas were previously shown to be ineffective in bringing about the cure of mice bearing a nonpalpable (Day 4) tumor that had been treated with a subcurative dose (10 mg/kg) of cyclophosphamide (i.e.. adoptive chemoimmunotherapy, U M) (M. B. Mokyr, J. C. D. Hengst, and S. Dray, Cancer Res....

A facile synthesis of hitherto unreported 3-(2-benzofuroyl)carbazoles 3a-k, 3,6-bis(2-benzofuroyl)carbazoles 5a-k, and naphtho[2,1-b]furoylcarbazoles 3l and 5l is described. The synthesis mainly relies on the ultrasound-assisted Rap-Stoermer reaction of 3-chloroacetyl- (1) or 3,6-dichloroacetyl-9-ethyl-9H-carbazole (4) with various salicylaldehydes 2a-k as well as 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2l...

A simple and convenient route is described for the synthesis of novel hetero 1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones (chalcones) by using recyclable PEG-400 as an alternative reaction solvent. The reaction is clean with excellent yield, shorter reaction time and reduces the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities against sever...

Background: Persian Medicine is one of the oldest and richest complementary and alternative options in the field of medicine and has a comprehensive medical system. Henna oil is recommended in Persian Medicine for the treatment of numerous women’s diseases such as cervicitis. To date, henna has been used for many medical purposes, including astringent, bleeding, cardioinhibitory, hypotension, a...

emptied and washed, and the 24h efflux of inulin was determined; it is plotted against the final swelling ratio from the experiment in which the sac was stretched. An unstretched control is also included. In a similar unstretched sac, the half-time of raffinose escape was I4Omin. Clearly inulin escapes faster than the polyethylene glycol of comparable molecular weight at all porosities, but at ...

the extended hildebrand solubility parameter approach (ehsa) is used to estimate the solubility of satranidazole in binary solvent systems. the solubility of satranidazole in various water-peg 400 mixtures was analyzed in terms of solute-solvent interactions using a modified version of hildebrand-scatchard treatment for regular solutions. the solubility equation employs term interaction energy ...

Usually plasmid DNA is introduced into Streptomyces strains by polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of protoplasts. However, many Streptomyces strains are only poorly or not at all transformable via protoplasts. Therefore, we have optimized the parameters critical for the application of electrotransformation of plasmid DNA into Streptomyces species. The most critical parameters evaluated...
