Prostaglandin (PG) D2 has been postulated to be an endogenous sleep-promoting factor. Biosynthesis of PGD2 is catalyzed by PGD synthase (prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase, EC 5.3.99.2), the activity of which is inhibited by inorganic selenium compounds such as SeCl4 and Na2SeO3. We

Various inorganic selenocompounds dose-dependently inhibited the rat brain prostaglandin (PG) D synthase, both in the purified enzyme preparation and in the crude brain supernatant. All of the quadrivalent selenium compounds tested had a very limited range of IC50 values in

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

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

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.

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.
