and antioxidant and anticancer activity profiles of urea and thiourea derivatives of 2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-amine.

Synthesis of a series of new urea and thiourea compounds have been accomplished by the reaction of 2,3-dihydro-1-inden-1-amine with various phenyl isocyanates and isothiocyanates. These compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging assay methods including IC values. Some of the compounds exhibited potential activity in the two tested methods.

Synthesis, spectral characterization, docking studies and biological activity of urea, thiourea, sulfonamide and carbamate derivatives of imatinib intermediate.

A series of new urea/thiourea derivatives 3a-j were synthesized by simple addition reaction of functionalized phenyl isocyanates/isothiocyanates 2a-j with N-(5-amino-2-methylphenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2-pyrimidinamine (imatinib intermediate) (1) in the presence of 1,4-dimethyl piperazine (DMPZ) as a base, and another series of new sulfonamide/carbamate derivatives 5a-k were synthesized by reacting 1 with various substituted aromatic sulfonyl chlorides 4a-f and aromatic/aliphatic chloroformates 4g-k in the presence of DMPZ as a base. The title compounds 3a-j and 5a-k were characterized by IR, H, C NMR and mass spectral data. Antimicrobial, antioxidant and in silico molecular docking studies were made against aromatase.

Separation and preconcentration of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) in water and food samples using Amberlite XAD-2 functionalized with 3-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione and determination by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry.

A separation and preconcentration procedure was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Pb(II) in water and food samples using Amberlite XAD-2 fuctionalized with a new chelating ligand, 3-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-5(4H)-thione (Amberlite XAD-2-NPTT). The chelating resin was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and used as a solid sorbent for enrichment of analytes from samples. The sorbed elements were subsequently eluted with 10 mL of 1.

Selective and sensitive method for the determination of metoprolol in human plasma using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.

A high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method was developed and validated for the determination of metoprolol in human plasma. The analyte and internal standard, nevirapine, were extracted from plasma matrix by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a C-18 analytical column with an isocratic mobile phase of 15:85 (V/V) 10 mmol L-1 ammonium acetate (pH 5.

Preconcentration of trace metals on Amberlite XAD-4 resin coated with dithiocarbamates and determination by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry in saline matrices.

Preconcentration of Cd(II), Cu(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) in saline matrices on Amberlite XAD-4 resins coated with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) and piperidine dithiocarbamate (pipDTC) and subsequent determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry were studied. Parameters such as effect of pH, effect of HNO(3) concentration on elution of metals from resin were studied. The results show that Amberlite XAD-4 coated with APDC was more efficient in the recovery of metal ions compared with Amberlite XAD-4 coated with pipDTC, in the concentration range of 0.

Relationship between lead uptake by lettuce and water-soluble low-molecular-weight organic acids in rhizosphere as influenced by transpiration.

The relationship between Pb uptake by leaf lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) and water-soluble low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) in rhizosphere, as influenced by transpiration (high and low), has been studied. Studies were carried out by culturing lettuce plants grown for 2 weeks in pots filled with quartz sand mixed with anion-exchange resin and then for 30 days in a greenhouse.

Solid phase extraction of Cd, Cu, and Ni from leafy vegetables and plant leaves using amberlite XAD-2 functionalized with 2-hydroxy-acetophenone-thiosemicarbazone (HAPTSC) and determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.

A method for solid phase extraction of trace metals, namely, Cd, Cu, and Ni, using Amberlite XAD-2 functionalized with a new chelating ligand, 2-hydroxy-acetophenone-3-thiosemicarbazone (Amberlite XAD-2-HAPTSC), has been developed. The optimum experimental conditions for the quantitative sorption of three metals, pH, effect of flow rate, concentration of eluent, sorption capacity, kinetics of sorption, and the effect of diverse ions on the sorption of analytes have been investigated. The chelating resin could be reused for more than 20 cycles of sorption-desorption without any significant change (<1.
