General description

(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)acetic acid along with formaldehyde ammonium salt forms a polyaromatic anionic compound RG-13577. RG-13577 mimics the synthetic heparin and specifically binds to the vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and inhibits their proliferative growth. In the molecules of (4-hydroxyphenoxy)acetic acid, the carboxyl groups are held together by R22(8) hydrogen bonds.

An epoxybenzoquinone, 4-hydroxyphenoxypropionic acid, and 2-hydroxy-3-phenyl-3-butenoic acid derivatives have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for in vitro inhibition activity against 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (4-HPPD) from pig liver by the spectrophotometric enol-borate method. The biological data demonstrated that neither epoxybenzoquinone ester nor

Individual dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in biocompatible media is of particular interest for diverse biomedical and nanomedicine applications. Herein we present, for the first time, a neutral pH water-soluble chitosan derivative, chitosan-hydroxyphenyl acetamide (CHPA), prepared by functionalizing the
