The^(10)boron neutron-capture therapy(BNCT)is an emerging antitumoral method that shows increasing biomedical interest.BNCT is based on the selective accumulation of the^(10)boron isotope within the tumor,which is the...
Summary of main observation and conclusion A palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1,3‐dienes with catechols is developed using chiral pyridinebis(oxazoline) ligands. Various chiral 2‐substituted 1,4‐b...
In the study, hair colouring by utilising enzymatic oxidation of nine species of bio-catechols, which are biobased materials having the catechol (o-dihydroxybenzene) group, was examined. The bio-catechols used are (+)...
Inhibition of the enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) is an important approach in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A series of potent catechols for COMT may give insight to develop new ways of antiparki...

Density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level was employed to calculate intramolecular hydrogen bond enthalpies (HIHB), O-H charge differences, O-H bond lengths and bond orders for various substituted cate...
AIM: The present study was aimed to examine the va-sorelaxant and antiproliferative responses to purified green tea epicatechin mixture, ( - )epicatechin and ( - )epigal-locatechin gallate on rat arterial smooth muscl...
It was found that the oxovanadium(V) complex of triethanolamine (TEA) exhibits catalytic activity to the oxidative cleavage of catechols. On the other hand. the vanadyl nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) complex is inactiv...
