General description

Ammonium hydroxide solution is also called aqueous ammonia, aqua ammonia, or ammonia water. It is a weak base mainly used as a nitrogen source to prepare other nitrogen-containing organic and inorganic chemicals such as urea, ammonium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, etc.

Application

Ammonium hydroxide solution (28% NH3 in H2O) can be used as:
  • A medium to prepare magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles via a modified controlled chemical coprecipitation method using divalent or trivalent iron salts as iron precursors.      
  • A reagent in ammonolysis.      
  • A solvent to synthesize 1, 4 dihydropyridines via one-pot condensation of an aldehyde and alkyl acetoacetate.

In this work, new magnetic-plasmonic nanocomposites have been developed through the use of two complementary polyelectrolytes⁻polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH). PSS, a negatively charged polyelectrolyte, was utilized as a stabiliser for magnetite nanoparticles, and PAH, a positively charged

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) aldolase links sensing of declining glucose availability to AMPK activation via the lysosomal pathway. However, how aldolase transmits lack of occupancy by FBP to AMPK activation remains unclear. Here, we show that FBP-unoccupied aldolase interacts with and inhibits

Nano-sized curcumin-loaded super-paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (CUR-OA-SPIONs) were synthesized chemically by co-precipitation method using oleic acid as a stabilizer and Myrj 52 as a surfactant. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized for their shape, size, surface morphology, electrokinetic potential, magnetic properties
