A series of 3-heteroarylthioquinoline derivatives has been synthesized by the Friedlander annulation of 2-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)sulfanyl]-1-aryl-1-ethanone/2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-1-aryl-1-ethanone/1-aryl-2-[(2-phenyl-2H-1,2,3,4-tetraazol-5-yl)sulfanyl]-1-ethanone with 2-ami...
BackgroundThe association of polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids with mortality has been extensively studied. Far less is known about the association of omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (omega-9 MUFA) with mortality.
The lipids of Tropaeolum speciosum (T. speciosum) are a rich source of naturally occurring nervonic acid (24:1n-9). We report that adding a T. speciosum oil supplement to a semi-purified diet significantly increased the amount of 24:1n-9 in liver and heart, but not brain, sphingomyelin (SM) of y...
Three experiments were designed to investigate the metabolism of dietary nervonic acid (24:1n-9, NA) during reproduction in the rat. The first experiment determined the effect of early development on the sphingomyelin (SM) composition of rat heart and liver tissues. Rats were fed a standard chow...
Demyelination in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is associated with an accumulation of very long chain saturated fatty acids such as 26:0 stemming from a genetic defect in the peroxisomal beta oxidation system responsible for the chain shortening of these fatty acids. Long chain monoenoic acids such ...
Although the value of red blood cell fatty acids (FAs) in estimating risk for acute coronary syndrome in the general population is evident, the value of FAs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. Here, we provide a pilot analysis in a spectrum of CKD patients. Plasma samples were obtained f...
Nervonic acid is important for white matter development and its incorporation increases rapidly in the last trimester, but few studies focus on this fatty acid. Other mother's milk, usually after term delivery, is often used for premature infants, whose mothers cannot breastfeed. The fatty ...
This study obtained trans-free fats containing nervonic acid, a fatty acid with beneficial effects for mental health. Four fats containing 1.28–2.41% (w/w) nervonic acid were prepared by chemical or enzymatic interesterification of palm stearin (PS), Acer truncatum oil (ATO) and palm kernel oil...
Sphingolipids have been implicated in age-related neurodegeneration. Previous studies have reported elevated ceramide levels in the brain of old rodents, but a systematic investigation of the impact of age on brain sphingolipid metabolism is still lacking. Here we quantified 17 key sphingolipid ...
Nervonic acid (C24:1, Δ15), a monounsaturated long chain fatty acid, is a major component of mammalian neural tissue. Lack of nervonic acid in human usually leads to neurological disorder. Recently, production of nervonic acid from plant for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and functional food re...
Acer truncatum is considered a promising species as a raw material to produce nervonic acid (NA). The goal of this study was to explore the variation of oil content and nervonic acid content of 138 accessions native to 14 regions in China as well as provide guidance for establishing plantations ...
Caffeic acid (CA) is a plant metabolite acting as a carcinogenic inhibitor, and exhibits a high antioxidant effect and some antimicrobial activity. Besides, this compound can be useful in the prevention of heart diseases and atherosclerosis, among others. The present study aims to determine the ...
Reaction of 1-methyl-8-amino-3,13,16-trithia-6,10,19-triazabicyclo[6.6.6]icosane (AMN3S3sar) with the amide coupling agent 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMT-MM) and 4-nitrobenzoic acid, the protected amine 4-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)benzoic acid and the tri...
Spent potlining (SPL), a hazardous waste product from primary aluminium production, presents an important opportunity to recycle fluoride and conserve global fluorspar reserves. A novel strategy for treatment of the waste requires a selective fluoride-removal step from aqueous leachate. This has...
Contamination of the ground water with fluoride is a great problem worldwide. Removal of fluoride (F−) ions from simulated natural waters containing fluoride by electrocoagulation (EC) using aluminum electrodes, has been investigated in a discontinuous lab cell. Two types of water have been stud...
In this study, the use of nickel fluoride tetrahydrate (NiF2·4H2O) as a surface activator and sealant at the same time for the coating of electroless nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) on anodized aluminum alloy AA1050 is proposed. The usage of the activator resulted in more efficient deposition of Ni-P,...
The fluoride removal efficiency of the commercial product Actifluo (Brenntag) has been evaluated on both real industrial wastewater samples as well as on synthetic wastewaters. This study demonstrates that the treatment with the Aluminum polychloride (PAC) containing Actifluo, after a preliminar...
A novel green synthesized iron-aluminum nanocomposite was prepared and characterized by FESEM, FTIR, EDX, XRD, BET, DSC and TGA analysis. The clove extract acting as both reducing and surface coating agent was optimized based on its maximum total flavonoid content (TFC) and total polyphenolic co...
Micron-sized aluminum powder exhibits difficulties in ignition and burnout in steam. To overcome these problems, we added various sodium fluoride contents to micron-sized aluminum powder in steam at 800, 900, and 1000 °C to assess their effects on ignition and combustion performances. The ignit...
