OBJECTIVES Determination of stages of colon cancer is done by biopsy usually after surgery. Metabolomics is the study of all the metabolites using LC-MS and 1HNMR spectroscopy with chemometric techniques. The stages of colon cancer were detected from patients' sera using 1HNMR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five ml blood was collected from 16 confirmed patients referred for colonoscopy. One group of ...

The objectives of this study were to characterize a synthesis brom-isoflavanone (notated IF) with possible pharmacological activities, water insoluble and to examine the potential of beta-cyclodextrin to improve this property and obtain inclusion compounds that were analysed by different techniques: UV-Vis, IR, 1HNMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis. The presence of β-cyclodextrin rises the conte...

The amphiphilic block copolymers are composed of various combinations of hydrophilic and hydrophobic block unimers. The variation in unimer ratio alters the surface as well as micelle-forming properties of the block copolymers. These nanoscopic micelles have the ability to encapsulate hydrophobic compounds and act as potential drug carrier. MePEG-PCL copolymers with various block lengths were s...

The photocatalytic degradation of dye Rhodamine B (RhB) in the presence of TiO2 nanostripe or P25 under visible light irradiation was investigated. The degradation intermediates were identified using Infrared spectra (IR spectra), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) spectra, and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The IR and the 1HNMR results showed that the large conjugated chromop...

The hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) has attracted much attention, since it is typically used as a model reaction for evaluating newly developed catalysts, but its mechanism still debated. Herein, Co(OH)2-modified CuO catalyst (Co(OH)2/CuO) was the reduction 4-NP to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in an aqueous sodium borohydride (NaBH4) solution. investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis), high-pe...

Anticancer approaches may employ change of molecular structure to enhance preventive influence of chemical agents. The present examination concerned the potential anticancer impact of modified heterocyclic compounds. A strategy was developed to combine tetrazole moieties from different diamines with 2-aminobenzoic and substituted benzoyl chloride compounds with attention to synthesis, character...

A series of N-substituted-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (TZDs) were prepared via N-alkylation of 2,4-TZD at position 3 using substituted benzyl halides. Synthesized N-substituted-2,4-TZD was then substituted at position 5 with substituted aromatic aldehyde according to Knoevenagel condensation method. Structures of the compounds were elucidated using various spectral techniques viz. IR, 1HN...

A series of different N-4-piperazinyl derivatives of norfloxacin was synthesized and screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and cytotoxic activities to monitor the variation in therapeutic effects of parent molecule. Result revealed that some of the tested compounds showed comparable or better activity than norfloxacin against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria. The structu...
