Molecular iodine has been used as an efficient catalyst for a double Friedel-Crafts reaction of various heteroarenes, i.e. 2-methylfuran, 2-ethylfuran, 2-methylthiophene, pyrrole, N-methylpyrrole and indole, using aldehydes as alkylating agents under "open-flask" conditions with toluene or water as
OBJECTIVE
Corticosteroids remain the mainstay therapy for uveitis, a major cause of blindness in the working age population. However, a substantial number of patients cannot benefit from the therapy due to steroids resistance or intolerance. Tacrolimus has been used to treat refractory uveitis
We assessed oxidative stress in three different clinical conditions: smoking, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and inflammatory bowel disease, using breath alkane output and other lipid peroxidation parameters such as plasma lipid peroxides (LPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Antioxidant
Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were exposed to high dietary concentrations of six polychlorinated n-alkane (PCAs) (C(10)H(15.5)C(6.5), C(10)H(15.3)Cl(6.7),C(11)H(18.4)Cl(5.6),C(12)H(19.5)Cl(6.5),C(14)H(24.9)Cl(5.1) and C(14)H(23.3)Cl(6.7)) for 21 to assess their effects on behavior and
Fluids which are heavier than the vitreous fluid find recently their application in retinal detachment surgery. They fall down to the bottom of the eye and exerted pressure on the retina. Experimental investigations have been carried out on the possibility of application of these highly fluorinated
In order to evaluate the biological response induced by true methyl and hydroxyl surfaces, alkane thiols were immobilized onto gold. Initial protein adsorption from human plasma was measured in vitro by ellipsometry-antibody techniques and in vivo surface-cell interactions were evaluated in rat
Galphimia glauca, commonly known as "flor de estrella", is a plant species used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases that have an acute or chronic inflammatory process in common. Aerial parts of this plant contain nor-seco-triterpenoids with anxiolytic properties,
BACKGROUND
The 1,2-decanediol (S-Mal) is an organic compound belonging to the 1,2- alkanediol family, with two hydroxyl groups located on the first and second carbon of the alkane chain, probably responsible for the enhanced anti-bacterial efficacy. The willow bark total extract (W-Mal) has been
The treatment of both the bronchoconstriction and inflammatory aspects of asthma simultaneously by a single pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) represents a significant advance in convenience to the patient. However, a valved holding chamber (VHC) may still be needed to reduce the coarse
Emulsions on the basis of Perfluorohexyloctane (F6H8), a semifluorinated alkane (SFA), have shown to dissolve and transport highly lipophilic compounds. It is unknown how F6H8-containing emulsions (F6H8-cEM) interact with compartment blood, the reticuloendothelial system (RES), or "Oxidative stress" takes place in animal tissues when the balance between the cellular defense mechanisms (glutathione cycle, superoxide dismutase, catalase, vitamin E, etc.) and conditions capable of triggering oxidative reactions is altered. The oxidative reactions which occur under a variety of
The aim of this study was to determine the chronic toxicity of a mixture of chlorinated alkanes and alkenes (CA) consisting of chloroform, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene. These chlorinated organic solvents were present in
OBJECTIVE
Quantitative determination of breath pentane, an alkane generated by peroxidation of cellular fatty acids, has been used as a noninvasive determinant of inflammation. Herein we report the first examination of the relationship between breath pentane and intestinal inflammation in
We have previously shown the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of several para-substituted arylnitroalkenes. Since oxidative stress and inflammation are key processes that drive the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, in the present work the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and
From the aerial parts of Stachys byzanthina C. Koch., an acyclic diterpene ester, phytyl nonadecanoate, was isolated for the first time. In addition, two normal alkanes, one fatty acid and two sterols were also identified. Stuctures were established by conventional methods of analysis and confirmed
