radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ros). radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells. radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the ...

in this work, the study of various substituted kaempferol derivatives is presented. the bond dissociation energies (bde) have been calculated using b3lyp level and different basis sets in gas-phase. calculated results show that the bde values of substituted kaempferol range from about 77 to100 kcal/mol, demonstrating that kaempferol is an effective chain-breaking antioxidant that prevents lipid...

the present study was designed to explore the flavonoid contents and the radical scavenging activities of 50% ethanol extracts of leaves, stems, rachis and roots of dryopteris erythrosora. the total flavonoid contents in various parts were determined as: stems > roots > rachis > leaves. all extracts from different parts of d. erythrosora showed strong bioactivities. the dpph free radical scaven...

abstract introduction: medicinal plants belong to lamiaceae family are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases which its treatment is linked to anti-oxidative agents. in this paper, antioxidant potentials of some lamiaceae species have been evaluated by two methods. methods: phosphomolybdate assay for total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant potenti...

background: one of the new methods for elimination or destruction of estrogen hormones is ultrasound irradiation. the aim of this study was to determine the main mechanism of steroid hormones removal by ultrasound. methods: in this study, estrogen (e1) and 17 beta-estradiol (e2) were irradiated with ultrasound at different frequencies, powers, and exposure times in two cases: with and without b...

Abstract Slow-release polycarboxylate superplasticizer was synthetic under room-temperature conditions, a free radical copolymerization reaction occurred the action of redox initiator, and optimal preparation process temperature effect were discussed in detail. The results show that best (EP-15) is: acid-to-ether ratio is 1.89, amount NaH 2 PO 2.27%, appropriate 15-25°C, suitable macromonomer E...

The monomer 2-methacrylamido-caprolactam (4) was synthesized from methacryloyl chloride (3) and racemic α-amino-ε-caprolactam (2). Copolymerization of 4 with N,N-dimethylacrylamide (5) was carried out by a free-radical mechanism using 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. The new copolymers show a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water and an upper critical sol...

Small, monodispersed nanogels (~ 50-nm radius) were synthesized by free-radical precipitation polymerization and characterized using a suite of light scattering and chromatography methods. Nanogels were synthesized with either N-isopropylacrylamide or N-isopropylmethacrylamide as the main monomer, with acrylic acid or 4-acrylamidofluorescein as a co-monomer and N, N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) as...
