A micellar liquid-chromatographic method is proposed for determination of Al(III) as the 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid derivative, with spectrofluorimetric detection. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, a cationic surfactant (0.05 M), was used as mobile phase. The metal chelate was detected at λEx 410 and λEm 510 nm. Response to aluminum is selective in the presence of other metal ions. The me...

A facile self-assembly growth route assisted by surfactant has been developed to synthesize tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium (Alq(3)) nanorods with regular hexagonal shape and good crystallinity, which exhibit field-emission characteristics with a very low turn-on field of ca. 3.1 V microm(-1) and a high field-enhancement factor of ca. 1300.

8-Hydroxyquinoline-based ligands with extended conjugated fluorophores were designed to provide turn-on and ratiometric signal output optimized for use in fluorescence-based sensor arrays, where the changes in blue and green channels of the RGB signal are used to distinguish between cationic analytes.

Galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase purified from Escherichia coli cells grown in enriched medium contains approximately 1.2 mol of tightly bound zinc/mol of subunits as well as variable amounts of iron, up to 0.7 mol/mol of subunits, and no detectable Ca, Cd, Cu, Mo, Ni, Co, Mn, As, Pb, or Se. The chelators, 1,10-phenanthroline, 8-hydroxyquinoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfonate, and 2,2'-bipyridy...

The conventional in vitro assays for genotoxicity assessment of chemicals are characterised by a high false-positive rate, thus failing to correctly predict their in vivo genotoxic effects. This study aimed to identify the cellular mechanisms induced by the false-positive genotoxins quercetin, 8-Hydroxyquinoline and 17-beta oestradiol in comparison to true genotoxins and non-genotoxins, by comb...
