Application


  • Quantitative analysis of residual butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole in Salmo salar, milk, and butter by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.: This study provides a quantitative analysis of residual 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) in various food products. The research highlights the presence and concentration of these antioxidants in fish, milk, and butter, demonstrating their widespread use in food preservation (Galal et al., 2024).

  • The key factors of solid nanodispersion for promoting the bioactivity of abamectin.: This research investigates the use of BHT in solid nanodispersions to enhance the bioactivity of abamectin, a widely used insecticide. The study identifies key factors that improve the stability and effectiveness of the formulation, suggesting applications in agricultural biotechnology (Ding et al., 2024).

Current epidemiological data suggest that dental infections affecting tooth-supporting tissues (periodontitis) can disseminate into the systemic circulation and thereby contribute to atherosclerosis progression. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of repeated systemic inoculations with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), a

In the present study two new series of Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives (1,4-DHPs) containing substituted pyrazole moiety (4a-f and 5a-f) were synthesized by the reaction of 3-aryl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes with 1,3-dicarbonylcompounds (ethylacetoacetate and methylacetoacetate) and ammonium acetate. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized
