Nowadays, the recycling of organic wastes represents a key factor for improving soil and crop quality with socio-economic environmental benefits. In recent years, production digestate significantly increased crescent need to be sustainable disposal. The use as amendment has been widely studied but few researches evaluated effects on quality. Since it proven that fertility, we hypothesized could increase fertilizers do. To verify this hypothesis, analyzed two digestates Cucumber was chosen...
Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) is considered a source of natural molecules with nutritional and health benefits. As the different storage forms can affect quantity quality bioactive ingredients, aim present work was to evaluate effects freezing, oven-drying freeze-drying on chemical composition spirulina biomass. Total proteins, photosynthetic pigments antioxidants, were analyzed compared respective quantities in fresh The frozen sample exhibited highest content phycocyanin-C, phenols,...
Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a plant native of Central and South America, but widely distributed in the wild or semi-cultivated areas Africa, India, East Asia. Although studies are available literature on polyphenolic content bioactivity L., no information currently plants grown pedoclimatic soil conditions different from autochthon regions. The aim present work was to characterize antioxidant system developed by under new growing condition evaluate polyphenol amount methanolic extract...
An enantiopure α-D-glucopyranoside derivative has been used as a platform to prepare artificial antenna systems based on bodipy subunits. Efficient and ultrafast energy transfer (in the fs ps time regimes) takes place in multibodipy systems.
Lavandula multifida is a rare short-lived plant characteristic of Mediterranean basin able to survive in hot and arid climatic conditions on poorly evolved limestone soils. In this work, we characterize the enzymatic antioxidant system phenolic composition, as well properties L. fresh leaves. Enzymatic patterns show high level peroxidases, ascorbate peroxidase, dehydroascorbate reductase activities, when compared with angustifolia. The same trend evident total carotenoids, ascorbic acid,...
During experiments on the transesterification of vinyl benzoate with ethanol mediated by IPr and IMes, unexpected species were observed characterized that call into question accepted mechanism NHC-mediated esters.
A new family of oligo(phenylene ethynylene) (OPE) glucosides has been prepared and characterized. Our results demonstrate that fine-tuning their photophysical properties can be obtained by acting on the electronics core molecular skeleton. Modulation hydrophobic chain length substituents central moieties influences bioaffinity too. In particular, introducing a NMe2 group aromatic affords highly efficient biocompatible fluorescent probe taken up in cytoplasmic vesicles HEp-2 cells (cells from...
Red onion is popular in cuisines worldwide and valued for its potential medicinal properties. an important source of several phytonutrients such as flavonoids, thiosulfinates other sulfur compounds, recognized elements the diet. Nowadays, there need producing food enriched health benefit compounds. In this study, pads bentonite (SB) with addition orange residue (OR) or olive pomace (OP) were used to improve quality red onion. The experiment was conducted 3 months field evaluate...
Abstract 5,8‐Dimethyl‐1,12‐dimethylene‐2,11‐dithia[3.3]cyclophane 2,11‐dioxides with planar and central chirality were synthesized in high yields, starting from 2,5‐dimethyl‐1,4‐benzenedimethanethiol, through the formation of suitable transient sulfenic functions that add to triple bonds disubstituted benzenes. Experimental observations allowed mechanistic stereochemical insights into key step synthetic pathway, NMR experiments diagnostic for structure assignments cage‐like compounds. The...
Abstract BODIPY dyes have unique properties including: good stability in many solvents, high extinction coefficients, to light, sharp fluorescence emissions the visible region with quantum yields. Moreover, through small chemical modifications of skeleton, their luminescence can be finely tuned. As a consequence, during last decades, this family chromophores found extensive application wide range fields. Carbohydrates play relevant role living organisms: tasks from energy storage structural...
Phytochemicals and antioxidant properties of red sweet pepper cv Topepo grown in soil amended with different organic fertilizers were compared that unamended soil. Organic are an environmentally friendly alternative to recovery infertile soils resulted from the intensified agricultural practices production. The aim was discriminate effects one each other on quality find out better sustainable fertilization practice for its cultivation. Results showed compost vegetable residues (CV) enhanced...
New tris(SS)-tripodal capping ligands afford AuNP surface composition fine control and SPR sensing for TNT-like explosives.
A Bodipy has been rationally designed and synthesized as a fluorescent ligand of GPER for diagnostic purposes prospective therapeutic implications.
A series of bis- and tris-bridged thiacyclophane S-oxides, as racemates or meso products, have been synthesized with a new procedure. Starting from the corresponding thiols, in three steps, transient polyarene- polyarylmethane-sulfenic acids were generated presence di- triethynylbenzenes. The thermal syn-addition these sulfenic onto triple bonds unsaturated acceptors was conducted CH2Cl2 at 40 °C. concentration sulfoxide precursors acid sulfoxide/acceptor molar ratio addressed toward...
The synthesis of an efficient energy donor-acceptor system is reported, together with its photophysical properties. bichromophoric species has been conceived to show potentialities for biological applications since a biocompatible disaccharide spacer, constituted d-galactose and d-glucose derivatives, was used in compound 12 connect two BODIPY units different absorption/emission luminescence spectrum acetonitrile shows intense fluorescence band maximum at about 770 nm that almost identical...
A bichromophoric species emits different light in hydrophobic or hydrophilic cellular environments.
This article examines the effects of some glycoconjugated disulfides and sulfoxides on red blood cells (RBCs). Compounds under study show sugar units connected directly or through a benzene platform, have been obtained following synthetic pathways based sulfenic acid chemistry. In order to evaluate relationship between structural features thioglycoconjugates investigation their potential biological activity, we were interested in assessing both cytotoxicity hemolytic activity produced human...
