Ultrasonic-Assisted Nitrate Anion Incorporation in Triaminoguanidium Chloride Based Covalent Organic Polymer  For Methylene Blue Dye Adsorption
Chem Asian J. 2024 Mar 27:e202400046. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTerephthalaldehyde-triaminoguanidium chloride covalent organic polymer, Te-TGCl COP can facilely be incorporated with NaNO3 by sonication. Te-TGCl COP incorporated with NaNO3 via ultrasonication adsorbs Methylene Blue (MB) dye. Te-TGCl COP alone shows negligible adsorption capacity for MB, however, when treated with NaNO3, its adsorption capacity emerges slightly. However, Te-TGCl-NaNO3 COP composite resulting from ultrasonication of the NaNO3 treated COP, showed dramatic increase in its adsorption capacity for MB (qe for Te-TG...

Phenolic Determination in Proembryogenic Cell Complexes of Buckwheat Morphogenic Cell Culture with Osmium Tetroxide, Toluidine Blue O Dye, and Iron Chloride
Methods Mol Biol. 2024;2791:35-43. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3794-4_4.ABSTRACTThe study of the localization of secondary metabolites in both plants and the cell cultures on the intravital sections is hampered by the difficulty of obtaining thin, correctly oriented sections. Techniques for fixing tissues in resins allow these difficulties to be overcome. Properly selected tissue fixation techniques allow using different dyes to identify the compound of interest. In addition, some components of tissue fixation can act as fixatives and as a dye for identifying secondary metabolites. For example, osmium tetroxide, which fixes li...

The role of Na < sup > + < /sup > -coupled bicarbonate transporters (NCBT) in health and disease
Pflugers Arch. 2024 Mar 27. doi: 10.1007/s00424-024-02937-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCellular and organism survival depends upon the regulation of pH, which is regulated by highly specialized cell membrane transporters, the solute carriers (SLC) (For a comprehensive list of the solute carrier family members, see: https://www.bioparadigms.org/slc/ ). The SLC4 family of bicarbonate (HCO3-) transporters consists of ten members, sorted by their coupling to either sodium (NBCe1, NBCe2, NBCn1, NBCn2, NDCBE), chloride (AE1, AE2, AE3), or borate (BTR1). The ionic coupling of SLC4A9 (AE4) remains controversial. These SLC4 bic...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1491: Novel Thiazole Derivatives Containing Imidazole and Furan Scaffold: Design, Synthesis, Molecular Docking, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Evaluation
i Carbothioamides 3a,b were generated in high yield by reacting furan imidazolyl ketone 1 with N-arylthiosemicarbazide in EtOH with a catalytic amount of conc. HCl. The reaction of carbothioamides 3a,b with hydrazonyl chlorides 4a&amp;ndash;c in EtOH with triethylamine at reflux produced 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6a&amp;ndash;f. In a different approach, the 1,3-thiazole derivatives 6b and 6e were produced by reacting 3a and 3b with chloroacetone to afford 8a and 8b, respectively, followed by diazotization with 4-methylbenzenediazonium chloride. The thiourea derivatives 3a and 3b then reacted with ethyl chloroace...

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2149: Embeddable Chloride Sensor for Monitoring Chloride Penetration into Cement Mortar
gang Wang A composite solid chloride sensor consisting of two single sensors, i.e., Ag/AgCl working electrode and Mn/MnO2 reference electrode, was developed. The Ag/AgCl electrode was prepared by the anodic polarization method, while the Mn/MnO2 reference electrode was prepared using the powder compaction technique. Then, the electrochemical performances such as stability, reproducibility, and sensitivity of the composite and single sensors were investigated in a saturated Ca(OH)2 solution and mortar specimen. A current density of 0.5 mA/cm2 and polarization time of 2.5 h were the optimal preparation parameters of the ...

The Effect of Dextrose Hypotonic vs Saline Hydration on Methotrexate-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Male and Female Rats
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of this study, hydration with N/S was superior to DW5% for the prevention from HDMTX-induced nephrotoxicity. Besides, we found insignificant differences between male versus female rats in response to the hydration for HDMTX-induced renoprotection; however, females probably benefit more.PMID:38525397 | PMC:PMC10958733 | DOI:10.4103/abr.abr_269_22 (Source: Biomed Res)

Quaternization of cassava starch and determination of antimicrobial activity against bacteria and coronavirus
This study describes the novel development of quaternized cassava starch (Q-CS) with antimicrobial and antiviral properties, particularly effective against the MHV-3 coronavirus. The preparation of Q-CS involved the reaction of cassava starch (CS) with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) in an alkaline solution. Q-CS physicochemical properties were determined by FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis, zeta potential, TGA, and moisture sorption. FTIR and NMR spectra confirmed the introduction of cationic groups in the CS structure. The elemental analysis revealed a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.552 of the cationic reagent ...
