Binding of the coagonist glycine to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype of glutamate receptors is potently antagonized by 2-carboxy-4-hydroxyquinolines. We show that closely related derivatives, 4-hydroxy-quinolines and 4-hydroxquinoline-3-carboxylic acids, antagonize the agonist response of the recombinant inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR). In Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the GlyR al...

To establish whether the use of proteinase inhibitors in the routine determination of in vitro plasma renin activity overestimates the potency of renin inhibitors in vivo, we examined the effects of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 8-hydroxyquinoline sulfate on the binding to plasma proteins and the respective IC50 values (50% inhibiting concentrations) of three renin inhibitors. All three ren...

The detection of nerve agent simulants is achieved by the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. A ‘‘turn-on’’ fluorescence response upon phosphorylation at 8-hydroxyquinoline of norbornene-based triazolyl functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (NCHQ) followed by intramolecular rearrangement provides very intense green emission. The detection limit of polymer (PNCHQ) coated paper strips is ...

The first examples of triarylboron-functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands and their aluminium complexes have been synthesized. These luminescent derivatives of the well-known electron transport material tris(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminium (Alq(3)) display enhanced electron-accepting ability relative to Alq(3), and can also be used as an indicator for small F(-) and CN(-) anions.

The numerous methods for determining magnesium in biological fluids that have been reported in the past have varied from chemical to spectrochemical techniques. Among these various procedures have been included gravimetric, calorimetric, and titrimetric techniques. The gravimetric micromethod based on the precipitation of magnesium B-hydroxyquinoline in hot ammoniacal solution, first utilized b...

The detection of nerve agent simulants is achieved by the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. A "turn-on" fluorescence response upon phosphorylation at 8-hydroxyquinoline of norbornene-based triazolyl functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline () followed by intramolecular rearrangement provides very intense green emission. The detection limit of polymer () coated paper strips is 25 ppb with...

the aim of this paper was to assess the effect of catechol (ch), as a peroxidase inhibitor, and 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (hqc), as a bacterial inhibitor, on keeping the quality of gerbera jamesonii cv. hongyan cut flowers, known to be limited by vascular occlusion. blockage in the stem xylem vessels of cut gerbera was studied using light and scanning electron microscope. the results showed th...

in order to study the physiological effects of some of the essential oils in comparison with 8-hydroxyquinoline in cut lisianthus flowers (eustoma grandiflorum l.), an experimental was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. traetments included 8-hydroxyquinoline, essential oil of australian cheesewood (pittosporum undudatum) and rosmary oil(rosmarinus officinalis) ...

Florists’ greens are a very important element of floral compositions, and their vase life must match that the flowers, hence this review presents results research has been conducted over years in order to improve post-harvest longevity species grown for florists’ using growth regulators from groups gibberellins (GAs) cytokinins (CKs). include foliage, leafy non-leafy stems herbaceous plants, tr...
