Prostaglandin (PG) D2 has been postulated to be an endogenous sleep-promoting factor in rats, and SeCl4 and Na2SeO3 recently have been shown to inhibit the PGD synthase (prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase, EC 5.3.99.2) activity of rat brain. The effect of these selenium

It has been proposed that prostaglandin (PG) D(2) induces physiological sleep in mammals by acting on sleep centers located in the anterior hypothalamus. In fetal sheep, definitive rapid-eye-movement and non-rapid-eye-movement sleep states appear at approximately 125 d gestation (term is

A facile, green synthesis of selenium doped zinc oxide nano-antibiotic (Se-ZnO-NAB) using the Curcuma longa extract is reported to combat the increased emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The developed Se-ZnO-NAB were characterized for their physicochemical parameters and extensively evaluated

Low molecular weight seleno-organic compounds exhibit glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity; the well-known compound ebselen is being used in clinical trials as a stroke medication. Here, we describe the facile one-step synthesis of novel 5-selenized salicylic acid derivatives using selenium tetrachloride.

The autometallographic retrograde tracing of zinc-containing neurons by intracerebral injection of sodium selenite (Na2SeO3), introduced by Danscher in 1982, has recently been described in more detail. Intracerebral injections of both sodium selenide (Na2Se) and sodium selenite (Na2SeO3) have been successfully

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
