In order to investigate structure-activity relationships of azasugar series toward metalloproteinases, we synthesized and evaluated several azasugar-based compounds. As a result, it was found that 4-phenoxybenzene derivative 3 having 2R,3R,4R,5S-configurations exhibited most potent inhibitory activities against matrix metalloproteinase-1, -3 and

The soil bacterium Bacillus cereus Tim-r01 efficiently transformed polyaromatic carboxylic acids (PACA) such as 4-biphenylcarboxylic acid (4-BPCA), 4-biphenylacetic acid, and 4-phenoxybenzoic acid into their corresponding amides. The amidation activity was expressed at 37 degrees C (pH 7-8) in the presence
A bacterial strain, Pseudomonas sp. POB 310, was enriched with 4-carboxy biphenyl ether as sole source of carbon and energy. Resting cells of POB 310 co-oxidize a substrate analogue, 4-carboxybenzophenone, yielding 1,2-dihydro-1,2-dihydroxy-4-carboxy-benzophenone. The ether bond of 3- and 4-carboxy biphenyl
4-(4-Phenoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid derivatives (PBADs) were found to inhibit rat and human alpha-reductase isozymes 1 and 2 in vitro. Chemiluminescence (CL), electron spin resonance, spin trapping techniques, and spectrophotometry were used to examine the effect of PBADs on reactive oxygen species
Currently, detection in microarray bioanalysis is based mainly on the use of organic dyes. To overcome photobleaching and spectral overlaps we applied a new type of fluorophore, crystalline europium-doped gadolinium oxide (Eu:Gd2O3) nanoparticles, as labels in immunoassay microarrays. The Eu:Gd2O3
