Sorafenib is an anticancer drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of hepatocellular advanced renal carcinoma. The clinical application sorafenib promising, yet limited its severe toxic side effects. aim this study to develop sorafenib-loaded magnetic nanovectors able enhance delivery disease site with help a remote field, thus enabling cancer while limiting negative effects on healthy tissues. superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are encapsulated in solid lipid...
Water-soluble eight-armed poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(l-lactide) star block copolymers linked by an amide or ester group between the PEG core and PLA blocks (PEG-(NHCO)-(PLA)(8) PEG-(OCO)-(PLA)(8)) were synthesized stannous octoate catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide using amine- hydroxyl-terminated PEG. At concentrations above critical gel concentration, thermosensitive hydrogels obtained, showing a reversible single gel-to-sol transition. similar composition...
Composting, vermicomposting, and anaerobic digestion are three commonly applied processes for the transformation of organic waste into valuable products soil amendment. The application compost, vermicompost, digestate to requires specific properties, such as maturity stability, strongly related composition matter. 13C solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SSNMR) has often been follow matter during treatment processes, well assess quality produced amendments effectiveness treatments. Thanks...
Abstract Crop and land management practices affect both the quality quantity of soil organic matter ( SOM ) hence are driving forces for carbon SOC sequestration. The objective this study was to assess long‐term effects tillage, fertilizer application crop rotation on in an agricultural area southern Norway, where a fertility experiment initiated 1953 second tillage 1983. first comprised 6‐yr rotations with cereals only 2‐yr cereal 4‐yr grass recommended (base) more than (above base) rates;...
SummaryAlpha-alanine inhibits antibacterial activity of cycloserine on staphylococci. The inhibition appears to be a competitive nature. This amino acid does not inhibit the antibiotic other organisms studied. Alpha-alanine interfere with action agents.
We have used a combination of FTIR, VCD, ECD, Raman, and NMR spectroscopies to probe the solution conformations sampled by H-(AAKA)-OH utilizing an excitonic coupling model constraints imposed 3JCαHNH constants central residues simulate amide I' profile IR, isotropic anisotropic VCD spectra in terms mixture three conformations, i.e., polyproline II, β-strand right-handed helical. The representative coordinates were obtained from published coil libraries. Alanine was found exhibit PPII...
Corncob and Miscanthus feedstocks were hydrothermally carbonized at 230 °C for 6 h in an autoclave under autogenous pressure, obtaining fine brown powders with higher carbon lower hydrogen oxygen contents than the starting materials. The chemical structure of hydrochars was investigated by 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP-MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy complemented Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) elemental analysis. In particular, a procedure including CP...
Abstract. Norwegian heathland soils, although scant and shallow, are major reservoirs of carbon (C). We aimed at assessing whether vegetation cover and, indirectly, its driving factor soil drainage good proxies for organic matter (SOM) composition dynamics in a typical area southern Norway consisting patchwork three different types vegetation, dominated by Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull., Molinia caerulea Moench, or Sphagnum capillifolium (Ehrh.) Hedw. Such covers were clearly associated to...
Chars obtained from the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of agricultural wastes are increasingly being employed as solid biofuels. Their properties strongly dependent on HTC process parameters. In this study, 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy was applied to semiquantitatively investigate carbon functionalities present in olive tree trimming feedstock and corresponding hydrochar samples. Hydrochars were by under different conditions, that is, at two temperatures (180 250 °C), with...
Land use change is one of the anthropogenic interventions that may induce substantial modifications to both quantity and quality soil organic matter (SOM). Soils from three cultivated areas (two types rainfed upland irrigated lowland) two forests (subtropical managed temperate unmanaged) in a midhill watershed Nepal were studied assess effect land on SOM quality. Bulk was analyzed using solid‐state 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) fractionated by acid hydrolysis into pools with...
The aggregation behavior and dynamics of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) poly(lactide) (PLA) chains in a homologous series eight-armed PEG-PLA star block copolymers ((PEG65-NHCO-PLAn)8 with n = 11, 13, 15) water at different concentrations temperatures were studied by means 1H 13C NMR spectroscopy longitudinal relaxation time analysis. state these systems was also investigated through the combined use 2H measurement. On basis experimental findings dynamic light scattering measurements,...
