Neutrophils are important in the host response against invading pathogens. One chemical defense mechanism employed by neutrophils involves the production of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-derived HOCl. 2-Chlorohexadecanal (2-ClHDA) is a naturally occurring lipid product of HOCl targeting the vinyl ether bond of

The monolayer structure of pure dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and equimolar mixtures of DPPC/n-hexadecanol (C(16)OH) and DPPC/dipalmitoylglycerol (DPG) are studied by the film balance technique and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction measurements. At 20 degrees C, the binary systems exhibit complete miscibility. In

Salting-out effects were utilized for developing a multiparticulate system balancing numbness masking and high bioavailability. A "salting-out taste-masking system" consisting of a drug core containing acetaminophen as a model drug, a salting-out layer containing sodium carbonate (Na(2)CO(3)) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)
