Enhanced urease inhibition activity of Ag nanomaterials capped with N-substituted methyl 5-acetamido-β-resorcylate

Medically, bacterial ureases are important virulent factors and are used for treatment of peptic ulcers and urinary tones. Reported urease inhibitors are associated with various side effects including antibiotic resistance as a major one. Still there is an urgent need to synthesize new urease inhibitors. In this context we have synthesized new urease inhibitor i.e. AgL that is composed of Ag nanomaterials capped with N-substituted methyl 5-acetamido-β-resorcylate(L). The conjugation of L to silver was confirmed through FTIR, UV–vis and TEM analysis.Bare silver nanomaterials(Ag) were also prepared. The stability of AgL nanostructures was determined against various parameters(temperature, high salt concentration, pH) and found to be stable. The in vitro antimicrobial(antibacterial, antifungal), enzyme inhibition(xanthine oxidase, urease, carbonic anhydrase, α-chymotrypsin,cholinesterase) and antioxidant activities of AgL were investigated and compared with Ag, L and standard drugs.In comparison to other bioactivities, AgL shows statistically enhanced selective enzyme inhibition activity against urease enzyme. Urease inhibition activity of AgL was significantly greater than standard drug(thiourea),L and Ag. On a per weight basis, AgL required about 11–18 times less amount of L for inhibition of urease enzyme.     

DIFFERENTIAL PULSE VOLTAMMETRIC DETERMINATION OF 3,3''''5,5''''-TETRAMETHYLBENZIDINE AND ITS ANALOGUES WITH A GLASSY CARBON ELECTRODE

The differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) method-with a glassy carbon electrode was used for the determination of 3,3' 5,5'-tetramethy lbenzidine (TMB), o-tolidine and benzidine in the acidic media. The pulse amplitude, interval time and scan rate of DPV are optimized to be 50 mV, 0. 5 s and 10 mV/s, respectively. The peak current, is proportional to the concentration of TMB and its analogues, the linear range is from 10~(-6)mol/l to 10~(-4)mol/l. The electrochemical behaviour of the compounds is discussed. The chemical poisons can be determined directly, or indirectly by the extraction in the waste water of chemical industry and laboratory.     

Comparison of protein synthesis profiles in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells and B-lymphocytes from peripheral blood,cord blood and tonsil

2D-gel electrophoresis was used to investigate protein synthesis in leukaemic cells from a series of 15 chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients, and in non-malignant B-cell populations from different sources. The protein synthesis profiles of CD5+ B-cells from umbilical cord blood and from tonsil were determined, and the levels of expression of their proteins were observed to be similar to the CLL cells. The CD5-cells from cord blood resembled peripheral blood B-lymphocytes, and the protein synthesis profile of CD5-cells from tonsils was very complex. One protein was also identified which consistently appeared to be synthesised at a low level in CD5+ B-cells from tonsil but which was always more prominant in CLL cells and other non-malignant B-lymphocytes. On the basis of these data it is possible that the closest non-malignant counterpart to CLL is the CD5+ B-lymphocyte from cord blood.

低压合成甲醇催化剂的TPR研究

对CuO-ZnO-Al_2O_3-V_2O_5低压合成甲醇催化剂进行了TPR(程序升温还原)研究。结果表明还原过程经历了慢速到快速再到慢速的三个阶段,此过程属于成核机理并有诱导期。还原时采用低H_2浓度、高空速、低升温速度对取得高活性、高选择性有利。对TPR谱图作数学解析,得到了催化剂的还原反应动力学方程。研究中发现催化剂还原前予经煅烧会降低其选择性。催化剂中各组分间存在有强相互作用。本文还初步探讨丁V_2O_5对催化剂结构及还原性能的影响。

In vitro inhibition by dopamine of 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated ovarian maturation in the red swamp crayfish,Procambarus clarkii

Dopamine inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated maturation of the ovaries of the red swamp crayfish,Procambarus clarkii, in vitro just as it does in vivo. This in vitro inhibition appears to be due to inhibition of release of the gonad-stimulating hormone from the brain and thoracic ganglia. However, it is possible that in vivo dopamine also triggers release of the gonad-inhibiting hormone.
