Importantly, the <b>Ru(II)-2</b> complexes which posses minimum MIC values was further tested against biofilms and toxin secretion. The results clearly indicated <b>Ru(II)-2</b> could effectively inhibit biofilms formation of <i>S. aureus</i> and inhibit the hemolysin toxin secretion as well. In addition, aimed to test whether ruthenium complexes have potent value as antimicrobial adjuvants, the synergism between <b>Ru(II)-2</b> and common antibiotics against <i>S. aureus</i> were investigated using the checkerboard method. Interesting, <b>Ru(II)-2</b> could selectivity increase the susceptibility of <i>S. aureus</i> to some aminoglycoside antibiotics. Finally, murine skin infection model verified <b>Ru(II)-2</b> were highly effective against <i>S. aureus in vivo</i> .

However, isocyanate containing adhesives are seldom manufactured, due to their requirement of water-free administration and time-consuming moisture-induced solidification. To address this issue, herein, a solventless dual-component bioadhesive based on thiol-isocyanate crosslinking chemistry is reported. This dual-component bioadhesive consists of a hyperbranched polymer with thiol groups (HBPTE) and an isocyanate modified polyethylene glycol (PEGNCO). HBPTE and PEGNCO are low-viscosity fluids at room temperature and hence could be used directly as adhesive components, in absence of catalyst and solvent. The thiol-isocyanate click chemistry of components provide HBPTE-PEGNCO mixture with a gelation time of 1.5~3 minutes, which makes it acceptable for practical applications. The abundance of isocyanate groups in the adhesive molecule provides strong bonding strength through formation of chemical linkages with reactive groups on the tissue. Moreover, <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> evaluations in mice showed excellent biocompatibility of HBPTE-PEGNCO adhesive. This dual-component bioadhesive based on solventless thiol-isocyanate click chemistry displayed a fast gelation time and excellent bonding performance, providing a pioneering ideal for engineering isocyanate containing bioadhesive.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85505683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The benzimidazole moiety of ZnTBImPc undergoes electropolymerization and the polymeric layer deposits on glassy carbon surface. The polymeric film interface was characterized and used for the voltammetric sensing of ammonia which showed linear characteristics in 0.1 to 1.0 µM range. The LOD was 0.03 µM with sensitivity of 237.25 µAµM-1cm-2. The efficiency and sensitivity of ammonia oxidation at the poly(ZnTBImPc) was compared with the composite hybrid electrode of poly(ZnTBImPc) and carbon nanoparticle (CNP). The amperometric sensing of ammonia showed linear behaviour in the 0.05 to 0.5 µM range. The RDE experiment revealed that the number of electrons involved in the ammonia oxidation is nearly 3. The polymeric electrode was subjected to the interference studies to evaluate the selectivity of the fabricated electrode and found that the co-existing molecules did not show interference during the detection of ammonia.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"2021 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76603327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, using water-in-salt electrolytes, we systematically altered the water activity, which enabled us to probe the O-O bond forming mechanism on heterogeneous Co-based catalysts as a function of applied potential. We discovered that the water oxidation mechanism is sensitive to the applied potential: At relatively low driving force, the reaction proceeds through an intramolecular oxygen coupling mechanism, whereas the water nucleophilic attack mechanism prevails at high driving force. The observed mechanistic switch has major implications for the understanding and control of the water oxidation reaction on heterogeneous catalysts.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79347859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The following infrared spectra of the samples were studied in this work: – a model system containing xanthan gum and tare gum; – a model system containing xanthan gum, tare gum, and sugar; – a model system containing xanthan gum, tare gum, skimmed milk powder; – a model system containing xanthan gum, tare gum, maltodextrin. Absorption is characteristic of certain groups of atoms, its intensity is directly proportional to their concentration. Thus, the measurement of the absorption intensity makes it possible to calculate the amount of a given component in the sample. A detailed technological scheme for the production of heat-resistant fillings using gelatin has been developed, which allows obtaining a product with new organoleptic and physical and chemical properties. The novelty of the technological scheme is the use of thermostable fillings of gelatin and the enzyme transglutaminase, and a mixture of gums, in the technology. A special feature in the production of these fillings is the operation of structuring at a temperature of 55±5 °C, which distinguishes it from existing technologies. This paper reports the results of the infrared spectroscopic analysis of fillings, which made it possible to argue about the positive effect of gelatin usage in the technology of confectionery. The developed heat-resistant milk-containing filling has a high biological and nutritional value in comparison with the existing technologies of fillings for confectionery. It has been analyzed that polysaccharides, gelatin, skimmed milk powder, and powdered sugar are rich, first of all, in reactive groups. Therefore, the physical and chemical properties of the fillings will be enhanced (adhesion, moisture-binding forms, etc.)","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86928964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
