Acid extract of Solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 M HCl and H2SO4 media using different techniques: Weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 K), Potentiodynamic polarization, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and SEM techniques. The studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both...

The idea of smart corrosion inhibition is basis on either inhibitor consumption where it is needed or reducing harmful matrix interaction with it. In addition, applying corrosion inhibitor in a coating causes many problems such as loss of inhibition capability, coating degradation, or both. A useful technique to overcome this problem is applying of inert host systems of nanometer dimensions as ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2); a cell surface receptor for vascular endothelial growth factors, is a key pharmacological target involved in the cell proliferation/angiogenesis. It has been revealed that VEGFR-2 induces proliferation through activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases pathway. In this regard, targeting the VEGFR-2 has been considered as an ...

Aims: This paper aimed to investigate the antiviral drugs against Sars-Cov-2 main protease (MPro) using in silico methods.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen of ongoing disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic. Here, by centralizing published cell-based experiments, clinical trials, and virtual drug screening data from NCBI PubMed database, we developed a database SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors for COVID-19, dbSCI, which includes 234 collected publications based on 81 drugs COVID-19 ...

patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). in this survey we detected factor v and viii inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors v and viii from north east of iran (khorassan province). it was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor v and factor viii inhib...

The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is associated with a progression to gastric cancer. The specific targets of H. pylori that might influence this progression are still unclear. Previous studies indicated that the gastric hormone gastrin, which may be increased in H. pylori infection, stimulates gastric expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-2, which is an inhibitor of the ur...
