Vaccine efficacy depends significantly on the use of appropriate adjuvant(s) in formulation. Phytol, a dietary diterpene alcohol, is similar structure to naturally occurring isoprenoid adjuvants; but little known its adjuvanticity. In this report, we describe relative safety and phytol hydrogenated derivative PHIS-01 compared commercial adjuvants. We tested adjuvant properties using formulation consisting either hapten, phthalate-conjugated protein, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), or...
A method for the synthesis of ibuprofen in introductory organic chemistry laboratory courses is reported. This experiment requires two 3-h lab sessions. All reactions and techniques are a standard part any course. In first session, students reduce p-isobutylacetophenone to an alcohol then convert this corresponding chloride. second chloride Grignard reagent, which carboxylated protonated give ibuprofen. Although final yield modest, procedure offers both practicability reliability....
Adjuvants are known to significantly enhance vaccine efficacy. However, commercial adjuvants often have limited use because of toxicity in humans. The objective this study was determine the comparative effectiveness a diterpene alcohol, phytol and its hydrogenated derivative PHIS-01, relative incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), commonly used augmenting protective immunity mice against E. coli S. aureus, terms inflammatory cytokines.Vaccines, consisting heat-attenuated or aureus either two...

A kinetic isotope effect (KIE) experiment is described for the physical chemistry laboratory. Students conduct a hypochlorite (household bleach) oxidation of an equimolar mixture 1-phenylethanol and 1-deuterio-1-phenylethanol to acetophenone. The reaction occurs in biphasic follows first-order kinetics with respect either isotopomer 1-phenylethanol. Reaction progress measured by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Alternatively, could be conducted each serially followed GC alone....
