Magnetic anisotropy and susceptibility of a so-called one-dimensional crystal, dimethylammonium trichlorocuprate(II), DMACuCl3, measured between 300 and 77 K can be explained on the basis of a Cu2+ ion in a large tetragonal crystal field, although the shortest Cu-Cu distance is 3.443 Å. Measurements of anisotropic susceptibilities below 77 K are needed to ascertain the real magnetic behaviour in this system. 相似文献
Summary Two methods are presented for the extractive separation of rhenium from molybdenum and other heavy metals in hydrochloric acid solution. In the first method, Mo(VI) and Re(VII) are reduced by hydrazine in strong hydrochloric acid solution to Mo(V) and Re(IV). The former is then extracted intoiso-amyl acetate. The Re(IV) remaining in the aqueous phase is oxidised to Re(VII) and determined by known procedures. In the second method, Re(VII) and other ions in 1–1.3N HCl are boiled with hydrazine sulphate for 5 minutes. After adding EDTA to complex Mo(V) and adjusting the solution to 0.33N HCl, rhenium is extracted into chloroform containing 1% tribenzylamine, and is recovered by shaking with water having sufficient ammonia to neutralise the acid and a little hydrogen peroxide.
Zusammenfassung Zwei Arbeitsweisen für die extraktive Trennung des Rheniums von Molybdän und anderen Schwermetallen in salzsaurer Lösung wurden angegeben. Bei dem ersten Verfahren werden Mo(VI) und Re(VII) mit Hydrazin in stark salzsaurer Lösung zu Mo(V) und Re(IV) reduziert. Ersteres wird dann mit Isoamylacetat extrahiert. Re(IV) verbleibt in der wäßrigen Phase, wird zu Re(VII) oxydiert und auf bekannte Art bestimmt. Beim zweiten Verfahren werden Re(VII) und die anderen Ionen in 1- bis 1,3-n Salzsäure 5 Minuten mit Hydrazinsulfat gekocht. Nachdem man ÄDTA zur Komplexierung des Mo(V) zugesetzt und die Lösung auf 0,33-n an Salzsäure eingestellt hat, wird Rhenium mit einer 1%igen Lösung von Tribenzylamin in Chloroform extrahiert. Die Rückextraktion erfolgt mit Wasser, worin Ammoniak (zur Neutralisation der Säure) und etwas Wasserstoffperoxid gelöst sind.
Giloy Tulsi tablet is an Ayurvedic preparation containing Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy) and Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi) and it is recommended for boosting the body’s immune response. This research work is about the marker-based standardization of this Ayurvedic preparation using high-performance thin-layer chromatography method. Standardization is based on the determination and quantification of the phytoconstituents berberine and ursolic acid present in Giloy Tulsi tablets. Separation was performed on pre-coated silica gel 60 F254 plate as the stationary phase, with chloroform‒acetone‒formic acid (6:3.5:0.5, V/V) as the mobile phase. Identification and quantification were conducted densitometrically at 330 nm. The developed method resulted in good quality peak shape and enabled high-quality resolution of biomarkers. The RF value for berberine (0.46 ± 0.02) and for ursolic acid (0.68 ± 0.02) in both reference standard and formulation were found to be comparable. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, intra-day and inter-day precisions, accuracy, and robustness. The limit of detection values were 91 and 153 ng/band for berberine and ursolic acid, respectively. The limit of quantification values were 175 and 465 ng/band for berberine and ursolic acid, respectively. Regression analysis of the calibration data revealed a good linear relationship between peak area response and concentration in the range 200‒1000 ng/band for berberine (r2 = 0.995) and 500‒2500 ng/band for ursolic acid (r2 = 0.9968). The accuracy of the method, determined by measurement of recovery at three different levels, was in the range 98‒102% for both markers. These results are indication of reliability, reproducibility, accuracy, and precision of the method.
Curcumin is well known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. However, since systemic absorption and bioavailability of curcumin from gastrointestinal tract is considerably poor, synthetic curcuminoids are being developed as better alternatives. Two curcumin derivatives: 3,5-bis(benzylidene)-4-piperidone (EF24) and EF24-dimer linked via diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid (EF2DTPA), were included in this study. We investigated the antibacterial activity of EF24 and EF2DTPA against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. We also studied the effects of EF24 and EF2DTPA on uptake and localization of pHrodo-labeled E. coli in the acidic compartments (phagolysosomes) of dendritic cells (DCs) under in vitro conditions. Our results demonstrate that treatment with EF24 and EF2DTPA directly suppresses the bacterial growth. However, these compounds do not affect the bacterial uptake or localization in the DCs. 相似文献
