Efficient Sc triflate mesoporous-based catalysts for the synthesis of 4,4′-methylenedianiline from aniline and 4-aminobenzylalcohol

2012

Abstract Sc triflate mesoporous-based catalysts have been prepared using a two-step strategy (i.e., Atrane method) based on the formation of the hierarchic bimodal porosity in the first step and the formation of Sc triflate complexes at the materials surface in the second step. All solids were analyzed by EPMA, surface area, and pore size values, XRD, TEM, FTIR, and 45Sc NMR static spectra. The catalysts have been investigated in the synthesis of 4,4′-methylenedianiline (4,4′-MDA) from aniline and 4-aminobenzylalcohol. 4,4′-MDA was obtained with selectivities over 85.0% for a conversion of aniline of 31%, at 80 °C and after 24 h. Using microwaves, selectivities of 90% in 4,4′-MDA were reach…

Flow-Injection Spectrophotometric Determination of Phenolic Drugs and Carbamate Pesticides by Coupling with Diazotized 2,4,6-Trimethylaniline

1999

Abstract A flow-injection (FI) spectrophotometric system is proposed for the determination of phenols and carbamates. In the FI manifolds, the solutions of phenols or carbamates (the latter after hydrolysis with NaOH) were injected into a diazonium ion carrier stream at pH 9.5 (buffered with tetrahydroborate), which was formed by mixing 2,4,6-trimethylaniline (TMA) with nitrate in a sodium dodecyl sulfate aqueous micellar medium. Absorbance was measured at 550 nm. The system combines the advantages derived from the use of TMA for the coupling of phenols in basic micellar media, because of the inhibition of the self-coupling reaction of the reagent, with the precision and speed of the FI pro…

Control of freshwater fish louse Argulus coregoni: a step towards an integrated management strategy

2008

Harmful infections by ectoparasites of the genus Argulus occur repeatedly in freshwa- ter fish farming operations where the management has largely been ineffective. Preventative meth- ods and regular monitoring are rarely applied, so that chemical interventions become necessary. According to the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, a sustainable management or control program for a parasite should be based on knowledge of the ecology of the parasite along with adop- tion of several prevention and control methods, the application of which is dependent upon the pre- vailing infection level. The application of multiple management tactics is especially important because parasites can devel…

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase is involved in CB/TRPV1 signalling: Focus on control of hippocampal hyperexcitability

2017

Cannabinoids (CB), transient receptors potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) and nitric oxide (NO) were found to be interlinked in regulating some neuronal functions such as membrane excitability and synaptic transmission. TRPV1 play a fundamental role since it represents a synaptic target for CB that triggers several downstream cellular pathways. In this regard, recent evidence report that TRPV1 could influence NO production by modulating neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) activity. In the present research, we pointed to manipulate nNOS function to assess its role on TRPV1 signalling in hyperexcitability conditions elicited in the dentate gyrus of hippocampal formation. The activation of TRPV1 recep…

18F-Florbetaben PET/CT to Assess Alzheimer's Disease: A new Analysis Method for Regional Amyloid Quantification.

2019

Background and purpose While AD can be definitively confirmed by postmortem histopathologic examination, in vivo imaging may improve the clinician's ability to identify AD at the earliest stage. The aim of the study was to test the performance of amyloid PET using new processing imaging algorithm for more precise diagnosis of AD. Methods Amyloid PET results using a new processing imaging algorithm (MRI-Less and AAL Atlas) were correlated with clinical, cognitive status, CSF analysis, and other imaging. The regional SUVR using the white matter of cerebellum as reference region and scores from clinical and cognitive tests were used to create ROC curves. Leave-one-out cross-validation was carr…

Studies on the reliability of a bihyperbolic functional absorption model. II. Phenylalkylamines

1987

Evidence is given that demonstrates the reliability of the bihyperbolic equation, proposed by Pla-Delfina and Moreno, in fitting the correlation between absorption rate constants (ka) found in the small intestine and in the colon of the living anesthetized rat, and partition constants (1/R.F−1), for a series of phenylalkylamines, a group of compounds which differ largely from others which have been tested. Emphasis is laid on the nonexistence of an optimum of lipophilicity for intestinal absorption/partition correlation: This feature makes inapplicable the probabilistic approaches to the reported data.

On the spectral intermediate at 440 nm formed during mixed function substrate oxidation.

1974

Abstract The spectral shoulder formed at 440 nm in microsomes oxidising hexobarbital and other drugs has been investigated and some of its properties characterised. Hexobarbital, pentobarbital, ethylmorphine and barbital produce this shoulder, while acetanilide, aniline, desmethylimipramine, imipramine, metyrapone and SKF 525-A do not. The formation of the 440 nm shoulder depends on the presence of NADPH and oxygen and is reduced in size when NADH is also present. At saturating substrate concentrations the size of the 440 nm shoulder is correlated to the cytochrome P-450 content. The hexobarbital induced shoulder can be inhibited by drug metabolism inhibitors such as metyrapone, imipramine …

Kinetic experiments on the synergistic effect of NADH on microsomal drug oxidation.

1974

Abstract1. The synergistic effect of NADH on the NADPH-dependent mixed function oxidation of p-nitroanisole and hexobarbital can be measured both photometrically and by following the substrate-induced oxygen consumption. The increase in reaction rate is about 50% and lasts as long as NADH is present in the microsomal suspension.2. The oxidation of added NADH is increased by hexobarbital, ethylmorphine and SKF 525-A. Lineweaver-Burk transformation of the NADH oxidation rates yields straight lines for xenobiotic substrates suggesting Michaelis constants similar to those obtained from metabolic experiments. NADH oxidation in the absence of NADPH is about half as rapid as in its presence.3. Som…
