Estimation of the membrane permeability of liposomes via use of eosin Y chemiluminescence catalysed by peroxidase encapsulated in liposomes.

Abstract: The initial rate of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalysed chemiluminescence (CL) reaction in an aqueous compartment of liposomes was applied to the estimation of membrane permeability of liposomes. HRP-encapsulated liposomes were prepared by an extrusion method, and a CL reagent and H2O2 were added into the liposomes suspensions. Fluorescein, eosin Y and phloxin B, which are xanthene dyes with different chemical structures, were used as CL reagents. Xanthene dye and H2O2 permeate into the inner phase of liposomes, resulting in initiation of the HRP-catalysed xanthene dye CL reaction with H2O2. The initial rate of the CL reaction was independent of the xanthene dye used. The reproducibility of the initial rate with eosin Y was better than that with fluorescein and phloxin B. When the membrane permeability of the liposomes was changed by altering the concentration of cholesterol in them, the initial rate of the eosin Y CL reaction was dependent on the membrane permeability of the liposomes.

Fly ash supported NiO as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of xanthene and its molecular docking study against plasmodium glutathione reductase

Abstract: A novel fly ash supported NiO (FA–NiO) nanocomposite solid heterogeneous catalyst has been prepared by impregnation of Ni(NO3)2 · 6H2O on thermally activated fly ash (FA) support FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, TEM and BET techniques were employed to characterize the catalyst The catalytic adeptness of FA–NiO was tested and optimized in xanthene formation Catalyst gave very high yield and good purity Stability of the catalyst could be promising as it easily recovered and reused giving a similar yield up to four cycles FA–NiO is an efficient catalyst providing an environmentally clean process for xanthene formation and for developing a revolutionary way to use the majority of waste fly ash Further, we have also performed docking simulation between 1ONF and a xanthene molecule to evaluate binding orientation and affinity of the ligand

The Dye-sensitized Photooxygenation of Hexamethyleneammonium Hexamethylenedithiocarbamate by Xanthene Dyes

Abstract: The photoelimination of hexamethyleneammonium hexamethylenedithiocarbamate (HMTC) can be sensitized by xanthene dyes, such as rose bengal and eosine yellowish. In contrast to the direct photolysis results, the presence of HMTC in the dye-sensitized decomposition produces no carbon disulfide and consumes oxygen during the irradiation. The quantum yield of photoelimination in an aerated ethanol solution was measured. The quantum yield was almost unchanged on the variation of the xanthene dye concentration from 10−5 to 10−6M. This is different from the former observation that there was an apparent tendency for the quantum yield to decrease monotonously with an increase in the thiazine dye concentration. The singlet oxygen mechanism, in which the photochemical reaction is initiated by the interaction between the triplet dye and the ground-state oxygen molecules, has been inferred for the dye-sensitized photoelimination of HMTC. It has been explained in terms of the effect of 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2] octane, β...
