LaBella, Abigail Leavitt published the artcileSignatures of optimal codon usage in metabolic genes inform budding yeast ecology, Application of (2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxyhexanal, the main research area is optimal codon metabolic gene budding yeast ecol.

Reverse ecol. is the inference of ecol. information from patterns of genomic variation. One rich, heretofore underutilized, source of ecol. relevant genomic information is codon optimality or adaptation. Bias toward codons that match the tRNA pool is robustly associated with high gene expression in diverse organisms, suggesting that codon optimization could be used in a reverse ecol. framework to identify highly expressed, ecol. relevant genes. To test this hypothesis, we examined the relationship between optimal codon usage in the classic galactose metabolism (GAL) pathway and known ecol. niches for 329 species of budding yeasts, a diverse subphylum of fungi. We find that optimal codon usage in the GAL pathway is pos. correlated with quant. growth on galactose, suggesting that GAL codon optimization reflects increased capacity to grow on galactose. Optimal codon usage in the GAL pathway is also pos. correlated with human-associated ecol. niches in yeasts of the CUG-Ser1 clade and with dairy-associated ecol. niches in the family Saccharomycetaceae. For example, optimal codon usage of GAL genes is greater than 85% of all genes in the genome of the major human pathogen Candida albicans (CUG-Ser1 clade) and greater than 75% of genes in the genome of the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces lactis (family Saccharomycetaceae). We further find a correlation between optimization in the GALactose pathway genes and several genes associated with nutrient sensing and metabolism This work suggests that codon optimization harbors information about the metabolic ecol. of microbial eukaryotes. This information may be particularly useful for studying fungal dark matter-species that have yet to be cultured in the lab or have only been identified by genomic material.

Stankova, Pavla published the artcileAdaptation of mitochondrial substrate flux in a mouse model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Synthetic Route of 97-67-6, the main research area is mitochondrial substrate flux nonalcoholic fatty liver disease adaptation animal; mitochondria; nonalcoholic fatty liver disease; oxidative phosphorylation; respirometry.

Maladaptation of mitochondrial oxidative flux seems to be a considerable feature of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The aim of this work was to induce NAFLD in mice fed a Western-style diet (WD) and to evaluate liver mitochondrial functions. Experiments were performed on male C57BL/6J mice fed with a control diet or a WD for 24 wk. Histol. changes in liver and adipose tissue as well as hepatic expression of fibrotic and inflammatory genes and proteins were evaluated. The mitochondrial respiration was assessed by high-resolution respirometry. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring lipoperoxidation, glutathione, and reactive oxygen species level. Feeding mice a WD induced adipose tissue inflammation and massive liver steatosis accompanied by mild inflammation and fibrosis. We found decreased succinate-activated mitochondrial respiration and decreased succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in the mice fed a WD. The oxidative flux with other substrates was not affected. We observed increased ketogenic capacity, but no impact on the capacity for fatty acid oxidation We did not confirm the presence of oxidative stress. Mitochondria in this stage of the disease are adapted to increased substrate flux. However, inhibition of SDH can lead to the accumulation of succinate, an important signaling mol. associated with inflammation, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis.

Motallae, Saeed published the artcilePreparation and characterization of solid dispersions of celecoxib obtained by spray-drying ethanolic suspensions containing PVP-K30 or isomalt, Recommanded Product: (3R,4R,5R)-6-(((2S,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-Trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy)hexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentaol, the main research area is acute pain celecoxib bioavailability dispersion suspension.

Celecoxib (CLX) is an anti-inflammatory drug that is used for acute pain treatment, but it has very low oral bioavailability owing to its poor water solubility In this study, CLX solid dispersions are prepared by spray-drying using hydrophilic carriers with the aim of improving its apparent solubility and dissolution rate. Blends with different ratios of CLX, isomalt (ISO) and PVP were prepared in ethanol, and solid dispersions were obtained using a spray dryer. The saturation solubility and dissolution kinetics in 0.25% SLS and 0.04 M Na3PO4 containing media were determined Also, SEM, DSC, XRPD, and stability studies were used to characterize the systems. Physicochem. anal. demonstrated the presence of amorphous CLX in the spray dried samples. The saturation solubility and dissolution rate of CLX from these formulations were higher than those for pure celecoxib and its phys. mixtures Amorphous CLX showed a lower dissolution rate compared to its crystalline form in 0.25% SLS medium, while this tendency was reversed under alk. conditions. The CLX:PVP:ISO 3:5:2 spray dried sample showed the highest dissolution rate in both media. Exposure of samples to high moisture (75% humidity) recrystallized some of the amorphous CLX. Thus, the results showed that the dissolution rate of CLX was enhanced in 0.25% SLS, whereas a reduction in dissolution rate was observed in 0.04 M Na3PO4.

Saha, B. published the artcileEnhanced exudation of malate in the rhizosphere due to AtALMT1 overexpression in blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) confers increased aluminium tolerance, Synthetic Route of 97-67-6, the main research area is acidic soil aluminum toxicity blackgram citrate malate; AtALMT1 acidic soil aluminum toxicity blackgram citrate malate; Acidic soil; aluminium toxicity; blackgram; citrate; malate.

Worldwide, 50% of soil is acidic, which induces aluminum (Al) toxicity in plants, as the phyto-availability of Al3+ increases in acidic soil. Plants responds to Al3+ toxicity by exuding organic acids into the rhizosphere. The organic acid responsible for Al3+ stress response varies from species to species, which in the case of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) is citrate. In blackgram, an Arabidopsis malate transporter, AtALMT1, was overexpressed with the motive of inducing enhanced exudation of malate. Transgenics were generated using cotyledon node explants through Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The putative transgenics were initially screened by AtALMT1-specific genomic DNA PCR, followed by quant. PCR. Two independent transgenic events were identified and functionally characterized in the T3 generation. The transgenic lines, Line 1 and 2, showed better root growth, relative water content and chlorophyll content under Al3+ stress. Both lines also accounted for less oxidative damage, due to reduced accumulation of ROS mols. Photosynthetic efficiency, as measured in terms of Fv/Fm, NPQ and Y(II), increased when compared to the wild type (WT). Relative expression of genes (VmSTOP1, VmALS3, VmMATE) responsible for Al3+ stress response in blackgram showed that overexpression of a malate transporter did not have any effect on their expression. Malate exudation increased whereas citrate exudation did not show any divergence from the WT. A pot stress assay found that the transgenics showed better adaptation to acidic soil. This report demonstrates that the overexpression of a malate transporter in a non-malate exuding species improves adaptation to Al3+ toxicity in acidic soil without effecting its stress response mechanism.

Chauhan, Devendra Kumar published the artcileAluminum toxicity and aluminum stress-induced physiological tolerance responses in higher plants, Application In Synthesis of 97-67-6, the main research area is review aluminum toxicity stress plant nutrient; ABC transporters; ALMT malate; Acidic soil; MATE citrate; Nramp; aluminum toxicity; marker-assisted breeding programs; tolerance.

Aluminum (Al) precipitates in acidic soils having a pH < 5.5, in the form of conjugated organic and inorganic ions. Al-containing minerals solubilized in the soil solution cause several neg. impacts in plants when taken up along with other nutrients. Moreover, a micromolar concentration of Al present in the soil is enough to induce several irreversible toxicity symptoms such as the rapid and transient over-generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radical (OH), resulting in oxidative bursts. In addition, significant reductions in water and nutrient uptake occur which imposes severe stress in the plants. However, some plants have developed Al-tolerance by stimulating the secretion of organic acids like citrate, malate, and oxalate, from plant roots. Genes responsible for encoding such organic acids, play a critical role in Al tolerance. Several transporters involved in Al resistance mechanisms are members of the Aluminum-activated Malate Transporter (ALMT), Multidrug and Toxic compound Extrusion (MATE), ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC), Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein (Nramp), and aquaporin gene families. Therefore, in the present review, the discussion of the global extension and probable cause of Al in the environment and mechanisms of Al toxicity in plants are followed by detailed emphasis on tolerance mechanisms. We have also identified and categorized the important transporters that secrete organic acids and outlined their role in Al stress tolerance mechanisms in crop plants. The information provided here will be helpful for efficient exploration of the available knowledge to develop Al tolerant crop varieties.

Garboui, Samira S. published the artcileRepellency of MyggA Natural spray (para-menthane-3,8-diol) and RB86 (neem oil) against the tick Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) in the field in east-central Sweden, SDS of cas: 42822-86-6, the main research area is MyggA para menthanediol RB86 azadirachtin neem oil tick repellent.

In the field in south-central Sweden, we tested by randomized, standardized methodol. the potential anti-tick repellent activity of 2 concentrations of MyggA Natural spray (containing PMD) (4.2 and 3.2 g/m2) and one of RB86 (with 70% neem oil containing azadirachtin)(3 g/m2) to host seeking nymphs of Ixodes ricinus. Each substance was applied sep. to 1 m2 cotton flannel cloths. Nymphal ticks on the cloths, pulled over the vegetation, were recorded at 10-m stops. Nymphal numbers recorded differed significantly between treated cloths [4.2 or 3.2 g MyggA Natural spray/m2 and 3 g RB86/m2] and the untreated control (df = 3, χ2 = 112.74). Nymphal numbers also differed significantly among collectors (df = 3, χ2 = 15.80). Repellency of treated cloths, i.e., 4.2 or 3.2 g MyggA Natural spray/m2 and 3 g RB 86/m2 declined from day 0 (i.e. the day of impregnation) to day 3 after impregnation from 77 to 24%, 58 to 16%, and 47 to 0.5%, resp. This study suggests that all 3 treatments have significant repellent activities against I. ricinus nymphs.

Elmhalli, Fawzeia H. published the artcileAcaricidal effects of Corymbia citriodora oil containing para-menthane-3,8-diol against nymphs of Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae), SDS of cas: 42822-86-6, the main research area is Corymbia oil menthane diol acaricide Ixodes.

The toxicity of para-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), the main arthropod-repellent compound in the oil of the lemon eucalyptus, Corymbia citriodora, was evaluated against nymphs of Ixodes ricinus using five methods (A-E) of a contact toxicity bioassay. Mortality rates were estimated by recording numbers of dead nymphs at 30 min intervals during the first 5 h after the start of exposure and at longer intervals thereafter. The mortality rate increased with increasing concentration of PMD and duration of exposure with a distinct effect after 3.5 h. From the results obtained by methods A, C and E, the LC50 range was 0.035-0.037 mg PMD/cm2 and the LC95 range was 0.095-0.097 mg PMD/cm2 at 4 h of exposure; the LT50 range was 2.1-2.8 h and the LT95 range was 3.9-4.2 h at 0.1 mg PMD/cm2. To determine the duration of toxic activity of PMD, different concentrations (0.002, 0.01, 0.1 mg PMD/cm2) were tested and mortality was recorded at each concentration after 1 h; thereafter new ticks were tested. This test revealed that the lethal activity of PMD remained for 24 h but appeared absent after 48 h. Thus, PMD is toxic to nymphs of I. ricinus and may be useful for tick control.

Kini, Girish published the artcilePassive enhancement of ammonia-water absorption by the addition of surfactants, Quality Control of 111-87-5, the main research area is ammonia water absorption surfactant.

Surface-active agents or surfactants have the potential to substantially enhance heat and mass transfer in ammonia-water absorption by reducing the surface tension of the working fluid. The enhancement is caused by interfacial turbulence at the vapor-liquid interface that results from surface tension gradients. A surfactant selection criterion is developed based on the plateau value of surface tension, critical concentration, and the critical Marangoni number required to initiate interfacial turbulence. Based on this criterion, surface-active agents, and their ideal concentrations for the enhancement of ammonia-water absorption are recommended. The preferred additives are found to be 500 PPM of 1-octanol or 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. A heat and mass transfer model is developed to predict the performance of a falling-film absorber due to the addition of surfactants at conditions representative of an absorption heat pump. The model indicates that the overall conductance of the absorber is improved by �0% by the addition of surfactants. The results from this work can guide intensification of various coupled heat and mass transfer processes using surfactants.

Wang, Tao published the artcileSulfonated Poly(arylene ether sulfone) Multi-Block Copolymers with Selectively Cross-Linked Domains for Proton Exchange Membranes, Recommanded Product: Pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate), the main research area is sulfonated polyarylene ether sulfone proton exchange membrane.

A facile design of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) multi-block copolymer membranes with selectively cross-linked hydrophobic domains is reported for proton exchange membranes. The cross-linkable linear multi-block copolymers are prepared via coupling telechelic hydrophilic disulfonated oligomers (BPS100) and telechelic hydrophobic oligomers (PPA0) containing cross-linkable allyl-derivatized phenolphthalein moieties. The cross-linked membranes are prepared through UV-initiated thiol-ene crosslinking reactions between allyl-functionalized hydrophobic blocks with pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) as a cross-linker. With highly cross-linked hydrophobic blocks and flexible hydrophilic blocks, the selectively cross-linked multiblock copolymer membranes exhibit remarkably improved dimensional stability and proton conductivity compared to the cross-linked random copolymers. The cross-linked membrane with the longest hydrophilic block length shows a remarkable proton conductivity of 123 mS/cm with a suppressed volume swelling ratio of 25% at 25°C. At the highest ion exchange capacity level (2.25 meq/g) and the longest block length, the cross-linked multi-block copolymer membrane outperforms Nafion over the full relative humidity range.

Khatouri, M. published the artcileEffect of hydrophobically modified PEO polymers (PEO-dodecyl) on oil/water microemulsion properties: in vitro and in silico investigations, Synthetic Route of 111-87-5, the main research area is hydrophobically modified PEO polymer oil water microemulsion property.

Microemulsions are excellent systems for transdermal delivery of multifunctional drugs because they have the potential to improve drug absorption/permeation and handling limitations. Biocompatible polymers are used as a coating of microemulsions to avoid the interactions that can occur between the microemulsions and the skin. Thus, they protect and lubricate these transporter nanovesicles. In this paper, we studied decane/water microemulsions covered with hydrophobically modified PEO polymer (PEO-m). To reveal the effect of hydrophobically modified PEO (PEO-m) polymer on the shape, the micro-arrangement and the dynamics of the microemulsions, we used an integrated strategy combining Mol. Dynamics simulation (MD), Small-Angle Neutron Scattering experiments (SANS), and the Ornstein-Zernike integral equations with the Hypernetted Chain (HNC) closure relation. We determined the microemulsion shape in vitro using the renormalized intensities spectra from SANS experiments We discussed the micro arrangements of microemulsions, in vitro and in silico, employing the pair correlation function g(r) and the structure factor S(q), obtained from the three approaches with good agreement. Thus, we used the validated MD simulations to calculate the microemulsion’s dynamics properties that we discussed using the mean-squared displacement (MSD) and the diffusion coefficients We found that the presence of moderate quantities of PEO-m, from 4 to 12 PEO-m per microemulsion, does not influence the microemulsion shape, increases the stability of the microemulsion, and slightly decrease the dynamics. Our in vitro and in silico results suggest that polymer incorporation, which has interesting in vivo implications, has no disadvantageous effects on the microemulsion properties.
