The Fourier transform infrared spectra of CC with different nitrogen content were recorded. The accurate results of the nitrogen content for CC can be obtained by using the deconvolution method when the nitrogen content is less than 3.5%. The relationship between the nitrogen content and the absorption intensity ratio of the corresponding separated absorption peaks in FTIR spectra has been expressed bg an equation precisely.展开更多

It agriculture as a replacement for environmentally more persistent was the most used pesticides in Loukkous-Morocco. Conventional methods employed to detect/analyze carbamates residues are time consuming and require sophisticated equipment only available in well-equipped laboratories. In addition, the conventional methods usually require a lot of complex pre-treatment of samples. Therefore, convenient and rapid pesticide detection system is urgently needed. In this order, we aimed to develop a rapid ELISA （enzyme-linked immuno-Sorbent Assay） for detection of some carbamates such as carbendazim [methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate] and carbofuran [2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranylmethyl carbamate]. To develop an immunoassay for carbendazim and carbofuran we have synthesized molecules with acid function （haptens with 4 and 5 carbons） that are coupled with BSA protein and injected to the rabbits, collected antibodies are used for the achievements of the immunoanalytical assay.展开更多

Methods Ribostamycin protected by carbobenzoxy group was treated with Nail, to give different protected intermediates under respective controllable cyclization reaction conditions. New ribostamycin derivative was obtained after the cleavage of carbobenzoxy groups. Result The novel selective protection of ribostamycin was achieved by the synthesis of protected intermediates. New ribostamycin derivative was obtained, but showed no expected antibacterial activity. Conclusion Several ribostamycin cyclic carbamate derivatives were obtained by novel selective protection strategy, which shows the practicability and convenience of the protection strategy. But these new ribostamycin derivatives containing cyclic carbamates structure may not be an ideal leading compound for antibiotic activity.展开更多

It focused on the addition of RBE to the fermentation mash and its effects on EC levels. The results showed a significant reduction in EC production that could be attributed to RBE's role in altering urea and citrulline catabolism and inhibiting arginine metabolism, thus preventing EC precursors from reacting with ethanol. Additionally, RBE enhanced the rice wine's flavor profile, as shown by volatile component and amino acid analysis. This study also explored RBE's impact on the metabolism of arginine by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a simulated fermentation environment, and found increased arginine, reduced urea and citrulline levels, altered enzyme activities, and gene expression changes in the arginine metabolism and transport pathways. In conclusion, the results clearly demonstrated RBE's efficacy in reducing the EC content in Chinese rice wine, offering valuable insights for EC reduction strategies.展开更多

Methods: Larvae of An. stephensi were collected from three different larval habitats in both urban and rural area of Bandar Abbas city and one rural area in Rudan county southern Iran. WHO standard method was used for evaluation of adult and larval mosquito susceptibility. Bendiocarb, permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin as insecticide and temephos and chlorpyriphos as larvicide were used at the diagnostic dosages recommended by WHO. Results: Findings of this study showed all larval populations of An. stephensi were completely susceptible to temephos and candidate for resistance to chlorpyriphos. Adult mosquitoes in rural areas of Bandar Abbas city were resistant to pyrethroid and carbamate insecticides. Conclusion: Comparison of the results of this survey with previous studies indicates that the resistance to pyrethroids and carbamates in this malaria endemic region is increasing. Wide use of pesticides in agriculture is certainly effective in increasing resistance. The inter-sectoral coordination and collaboration in health and agriculture seem to be necessary to manage insecticide resistance in malaria vectors.展开更多

Probit analysis and photomicroscopical observations were carried out to shed light on acute toxicity in laboratory and field Cx. pipiens strains.Results: Cx. pipiens were more susceptible to Pesgard(LC50: 0.045 and 0.032 mg/L)than Actikil(0.052 and 0.038 mg/L) and Bacilod(0.129 and 0.104 mg/L), for the field and laboratory strains, respectively. Results showed that treatments with the chitin synthesis inhibitor Dudim and Baycidal evoked morphological effects similar to those induced by other insect growth regulators. According to IC50 values obtained(concentration which to inhibit the emergence of 50% of mosquito adults), the compound Dudim(0.000 3 and 0.000 1 mg/L) was more effective against Cx. pipiens L. mosquitoes than Baycidal(0.000 4 and 0.000 3 mg/L) for both the field and laboratory strains, respectively.Conclusions: Our results provide baseline data to enhance control programs and orient public health decisions on the selection of pesticides against mosquito vectors in Saudi Arabia.展开更多

The extract recovery rate of the purified enzyme was 8.18% and purification fold was 91.58. The soybean esterase appeared as two bands on the denaturing SDS-PAGE with molecular weights of 24 and 37.2 kDa, respectively, which proved that it is a dimer protein consisting of two subunits. The result of nondenaturing PAGE revealed that the soybean esterase is a single band with cholinesterase-like activity using α- naphthyl acetate as the substrate and fast blue B salt as coloring agent. The esterase showed very high sensitivity to 18 kinds of organophosphate pesticides and 6 kinds of carbamate pesticides with the lowest detective limits of 0.03125- 0.0625 and 0.03125-0.25 mg kg^-1, respectively, and can meet the demands of MRL specified by the most countries.展开更多

Some experimental parameters that influence the extraction efficiency were studied and optimized to obtain the best extraction results. Under the optimum conditions for the method, the calibration curve was linear in the concentration range from 5 to 1000 ng mL^-1 for all the five carbamate pesticides, with the correlation coefficients （r^2） varying from 0.9984 to 0.9994. Good enrichment factors were achieved ranging from 80 to 177- fold, depending on the compound. The limits of detection （LODs） （S/N = 3） were ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 ng mL^-1. The method has been successfully applied to the analysis of the pesticide residues in environmental water samples.展开更多
