Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the photocatalytic N-deethylation reaction of Rhodamine B (RhB) using TiO film, employing various spectroscopic techniques to identify reaction products.
  • MCR-ALS was used to extract kinetic profiles and spectral data for RhB and its fully deethylated product, Rhodamine 110, while facing challenges in resolving certain derivatives due to spectral overlap.
  • Findings revealed that the deethylation process occurs through independent zero-order steps on the TiO surface, driven by the adsorption-desorption dynamics of RhB and its derivatives.

Squamocin belongs to a group of compounds called annonaceous acetogenins. They are secondary products of Annonaceae metabolism and can be isolated from Annona cherimolia seeds. This paper deals with the stimulation of biofilm formation of Bacillus atrophaeus CN4 by employing low squamocin concentrations to increase naphthalene degradation.

Rationale: Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is one of the main causes of treatment drop-out in schizophrenic patients causing a high incidence of relapse that leads patients to a bad clinical prognosis. The dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway is involved in the movement control, so the study of the dopamine transporter (DAT) could be of great value to determine its implication in the appearance of DIP.

Objective: The goal of the study is to determine the striatal DAT binding assessed with [(123)I] FP-CIT SPECT in first-episode neuroleptic-naive schizophrenic in-patients with DIP after short-term antipsychotic treatment.
