Modified Jeener solid-echo pulse sequences are proposed for the measurement of the proton dipolar spin-lattice relaxation time, T1D, of motionally restricted (solid-like) components in the presence of mobile molecular species, such as encountered in biological tissue. A phase-cycled composite-pulse sequence

Propofol directly activates gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(A)) receptors in the absence of the natural agonist. This mechanism is supposed to contribute to its sedative-hypnotic actions. We studied the effects of seven structurally related phenol derivatives on chloride inward currents via rat

The uptake of 2,5-dimethylphenol and 2,6-dimethylphenol on aqueous surfaces was measured between 279 and 293 K, using the wetted-wall flow tube technique coupled with UV absorption spectroscopic detection. For both compounds, the uptake coefficients gamma were found to be independent

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

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
