Application


  • New Two-Photon Absorbing Squaraine Derivative with Efficient Near-Infrared Fluorescence, Superluminescence, and High Photostability.: This research investigates a novel squaraine derivative, noting its application in two-photon absorption. The use of dichloromethane in the solvent system is critical for achieving high photostability and fluorescence properties in near-infrared applications (Bondar et al., 2022).


  • Identification of Antibacterial Sterols from Korean Wild Mushroom Daedaleopsis confragosa via Bioactivity- and LC-MS/MS Profile-Guided Fractionation.: This study utilized dichloromethane for the extraction of antibacterial sterols from the Daedaleopsis confragosa mushroom. The findings contribute to understanding the chemical properties and potential therapeutic uses of natural extracts (Na et al., 2022).


  • Anti-Inflammatory Activity and Chemical Analysis of Different Fractions from Solidago chilensis Inflorescence.: This research highlights the anti-inflammatory properties of Solidago chilensis inflorescence, with an emphasis on the role of dichloromethane in fractionating and analyzing the plant′s active chemical components (de Brito et al., 2021).


  • Evaluation of analytical method for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content in home meal replacement products by GC/MS.: This publication discusses the development of an analytical method for detecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in food products, where dichloromethane is utilized as part of the extraction process to ensure accuracy and efficiency in the GC/MS analysis (Lee et al., 2021).

Recent research suggests that plant viruses, and other pathogens, frequently alter host-plant phenotypes in ways that facilitate transmission by arthropod vectors. However, many viruses infect multiple hosts, raising questions about whether these pathogens are capable of inducing transmission-facilitating phenotypes in
