Oxidative desulfurization (ODS) is the promising new method for super deep desulfurization of fuel oil. The oxidative desulfurization performance of the metal-N-chelates metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) is related to the chemical properties of conjugate structures and the central metal ions. Herein, a biomimetic catalytic system composed of metallophthalocyanines (MPcR, M = Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); R = -H, -COOH, -NO, -NH) and molecular O was performed to study the influence of MN-type coordination structure in metallophthalocyanines for the degradation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in model oil containing n-octane.

- The study explored how co-medications affect plasma levels of curcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin in cancer patients, also comparing their pharmacokinetics to healthy individuals receiving Lipocurc™ (liposomal curcumin).
- Findings revealed that certain co-medications, particularly those targeting the renin-angiotensin system like Lisinopril, Ramipril, and Valsartan, significantly increased curcumin and THC plasma levels in patients, while infusion rate also influenced these levels.
- The research concluded that both the presence of co-medications and the health status of patients play a role in how curcumin properties are absorbed and eliminated in the body
