Alkylphenols and fuel oxygenates are important environmental pollutants produced by the petrochemical industry. A batch biodegradability test was conducted with selected ortho-substituted alkylphenols (2-cresol, 2,6-dimethylphenol and 2-ethylphenol), fuel oxygenates (methyl tert-butyl ether, ethyl tert-butyl ether and tert-amylmethyl ether) and tert-butyl

1. The structural features that determine the state-dependent interaction of local anaesthetics with voltage-operated sodium channels are still a matter of debate. We have studied the blockade of sodium channels by 2,6-dimethylphenol, a phenol derivative which resembles the aromatic tail

In the present work, a simple, selective, and sensitive method has been proposed for the determination of four phenols (catechol, resorcinol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol) in water samples. The method is based on poly-(methacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolith microextraction (PMME) and

Phenol derivatives constitute a family of neuroactive compounds. The aim of our study was to identify structural features that determine their modulatory effects at glycine receptors. We investigated the effects of four methylated phenol derivatives and two halogenated analogues on
