Usage

General Description

2,4-Dichlorophenol acetate, also known as 2,4-DCPA, is a man-made chemical compound commonly used as an herbicide to control weeds in agricultural and residential areas. It works by inhibiting the growth of plants by disrupting their hormone balance, ultimately leading to their death. 2,4-DCPA is typically applied as a liquid spray or in granular form and is effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds. While it is considered to be a relatively low toxicity herbicide, it is still important to handle and apply it with caution to avoid potential health and environmental risks.

Photochemical behaviour of dichlorprop [(±)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid] in aqueous solution

Aqueous solutions of dichlorprop were irradiated under different conditions of pH, wavelength and oxygenation. The photochemical behaviour was found to be complex and many photoproducts were formed. However, at low concentrations the main photoproducts we

Ultrasound-assisted synthesis and antimicrobial activity of tetrazole-based pyrazole and pyrimidine derivatives

New tetrazole-based pyrazole and pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized by an ultrasound irradiation method. All compounds were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, mass spectrometry (MS) and elemental analysis and assessed in vitro for their efficacy as antimicrobial agents against four bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus Niger). Compounds 8a, 8e, 9a, 9b and 9e show potent activity against the tested strains compared to the reference drugs chloramphenicol and clotrimazole.

Synthesis, antimicrobial activity and anti-biofilm activity of novel tetrazole derivatives

In the development of antimicrobial agents, we designed and synthesized novel tetrazole derivatives. The structures of compounds 6a-f and 7a-f were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. These compounds were tested for their antimicrobial activity against a series of strains Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and for antifungal activity against the strains Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida tropicalis. Compounds 6e, 6f, 7a, and 7f exhibit potent antimicrobial activities compared to the reference drugs streptomycin and miconazole. Tetrazole derivatives 7a-f also inhibit biofilm formation and compound 7f exhibits best anti-biofilm activity with a biofilm inhibitory concentration (BIC) as low as 0.9 μm.
