Operando tracking of oxidation-state changes by coupling electrochemistry with time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy demonstrated for water oxidation by a cobalt-based catalysts film
(2021)
Transition metal oxides are promising electrocatalysts for water oxidation, i.e., the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is
critical in electrochemical production of non-fossil fuels. The involvement of oxidation state ...
Bioassay-guided isolation of anti-inflammatory O-sulfated withanolides from Acnistus arborescens (Solanaceae)
(2019)
Bioassay-guided fractionation of Acnistus arborescens (Solanaceae) organic extract afforded two anti-inflammatory withanolides: 2,3-Dihydro-3β-O-sulfate withacnistin (1) and 2,3-Dihydro-3β-O-sulfate withaferin A (2) showing ...
Adipostatins E-J, new potent antimicrobials identified as inhibitors of coenzyme-A biosynthesis
(2020-01)
Phosphopantetheine is a key structural element in biological acyl transfer reactions found embedded within coenzyme A (CoA). Phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase (PPCS) is responsible for installing a cysteamine group ...
Experimental and theoretical studies of C–H⋯M interactions in palladium and platinum complexes derived from 1,2-bis-(2-hydroxymethylphenylthio)ethane
(2015-02)
The molecular structures of several related cis-[j2-SS-(L)MHal2] compounds 1, 1DMSO, 2, 2H2O,
3DMSO, 4 and 5 where L = HOCH2Ph-S-CH2-CH2-S-PhCH2OH, M = Pd or Pt, and Hal = Cl or Br or I, were analyzed by single crystal ...
Biodiversity Prospecting: The INBio Experience
(2004)
Bioprospecting is defined as the systematic search for genes, compounds, designs, and organisms that might have a potential economic use and might lead to a product development. In 1991, Costa Rica's National Institute of ...
Organic Carbon Determination by the Walkley-Black and Dry Combustion Methods in SurfaceSoils and Andept Profiles from Costa Rica
(1979-01)
The efficiency of oxidation of organic C by the Walkley-Black method was studied by comparing with determinations using dry combustion equipment and gravimetric determination for the evolved CO2. Fifty surface soils (0-30 ...
Germacranolides from Mikania guaco
(2001-03)
Fourteen novel sesquiterpene lactones of the germacranolide type have been isolated from the aerial parts of Mikania guaco: six costunolide, two melampolide and six germacra-4-trans,10(14),11(13)-trien-12,6α-olide derivatives. ...
Tropical Atmospheric Corrosion of Galvanized Steel, in a light urban atmosphere in the San José Valley of Costa Rica
Corrosión atmosférica tropical de Hierro Galvanizado en una atmósfera urbana leve, en el Valle de San José de Costa Rica
(2022)
Costa Rica imports most of the metallic materials it uses. In construction, Galvanized Steel (GS) is one of the most used elements in urban areas, where atmospheric corrosion is the main problem of its environmental ...
Synthesis and Biological Activity of New Antifungal Compounds: A Preliminary Study
(2018)
In the present study, we synthesized three 1,3-enynes from their corresponding aldehydes. They exhibited antifungal activity, which was evaluated against Trichophyton rubrum, the most common dermatophyte responsible for ...
Clibadiolide, a sesquiterpene lactone esterified with a homoditerpene from Clibadium pittierii
(1988)
The aerial parts of Clibadium pittierii afforded in addition to known melampolides two new ones, one being esterified with a homoditerpenic acid and the homoditerpenic acid itself. The structures were elucidated by high ...
