1H NMR investigations of the molecular nature of cobalt (II) ions in human saliva
(Article)High-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that addition of Co(II) ions to isolated human salivary supernatants (HSSs) gave rise to its complexation by a variety of biomolecules. The relative efficacies of these ... -
1H NMR-based metabolomics reveals neurochemical alterations in the brain of adolescent rats following acute methylphenidate administration
(Article)The psychostimulant methylphenidate (MPH) is increasingly used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While there is little evidence for common brain pathology in ADHD, some studies suggest a ... -
1H NMR-Linked Urinary Metabolic Profiling of Niemann-Pick Class C1 (NPC1) Disease: Identification of Potential New Biomarkers using Correlated Component Regression (CCR) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) Analysis Strategies
(Article)Niemann-Pick Class 1 (NPC1) disease is a rare, debilitating neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease; however, urinary biomarkers available for it and its prognosis are currently limited. In order to identify and establish ... -
2-furyl(phenyl)methanol isolated from Atractilis gummifera rhizome exhibits anti-leishmanial activity
(Article)We report for the first time the isolation of 2-furyl(phenyl)methanol (5) from the chloroform extracts of the Atractylis gummifera roots. A. gummifera is a thistle belonging to the Asteraceae family that produces the ... -
3D Electrohydrodynamic Printing of Highly Aligned Dual-Core Graphene Composite Matrices
(Article)The aim of this study was to develop an EHD printing method to fabricate graphene-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL)/polyethylene oxide (PEO) dual-core matrices. Graphene was incorporated in shell PCL components, while gelatin ... -
Actinometric and Φ-order photodegradation properties of anti-cancer Sunitinib.
(Article)The photodegradation reaction of Sunitinib (SUT), occurring via Z–E photoisomerization, has been evaluated in this study using the recently developed –order kinetics. In ethanol, the forward (Z E) photoreaction of SUT was ... -
Activity of DNA-targeted C8-linked pyrrolobenzodiazepine(PBD)-heterocyclic polyamide conjugates against aerobically and hypoxically grown Mycobacterium tuberculosis under acidic and neutral conditions
(Article)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the aetiological agent of tuberculosis, the leading cause of death worldwide from a single infectious agent. Mtb is a highly-adaptable human pathogen that might enter a dormant non-replicating ... -
Adherence to cardiovascular pharmacotherapy assessed by quantitative LC-HRMS analysis of dried blood spots
(Conference)Up to ~50% of patients prescribed cardiovascular (CVD) drugs do not adhere to their prescribed regimen. Non-adherence impacts on patient health and healthcare system costs. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling was used to collect ... -
Advanced hydrogels for treatment of diabetes
(Article)Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood, which leads to metabolic disorders with severe consequences. Today, there is no cure for diabetes. The current management for ... -
