Application

Etidronic acid (HEBP) can be employed as a catalyst for the synthesis of:
  • 5-Nitro-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones through the reaction between 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-nitroethanone, aryl aldehydes and urea via one-pot cyclo condensation reaction.
  • Thiiranes from epoxides and ammonium thiocyanate.

Coccolithophores are globally distributed unicellular marine algae that are characterized by their covering of calcite coccoliths. Calcification by coccolithophores contributes significantly to global biogeochemical cycles. However, the physiological requirement for calcification remains poorly understood as non-calcifying strains of some commonly

Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BP) such as zoledronate and risedronate exhibit antitumor effects. They block the activity of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) in the mevalonate pathway, leading to intracellular accumulation of mevalonate metabolites (IPP/ApppI), which are recognized as tumor phosphoantigens by Vγ9Vδ2

A rapid, sensitive, and specific analytical method for the determination of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) on uncooked foods after treatment with a peracetic acid-based sanitizer (PAS) was developed. The method involves simple sample preparation steps and analysis using ion chromatography (IC)

Endodontic infections are often interkingdom biofilms, though current clinical management rarely considers this phenomenon. This study aimed to evaluate new and standard endodontic antimicrobial regimens against simple and complex Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis mono- and dual-species biofilms. C. albicans
