Adrenergic Agonists: Direct-Acting Agents01:30

Adrenergic Agonists: Direct-Acting Agents

2.9K
Drugs that mimic the action of endogenous catecholamines like noradrenaline and adrenaline are called adrenergic agonists or sympathomimetics. Based on their mechanism of action, sympathomimetics can be classified as direct-, indirect-, or mixed-acting sympathomimetics. Direct-acting adrenergic agonists activate adrenoceptors without affecting presynaptic neurons, making them independent of neuronal catecholamine-depleting agents like reserpine and guanethidine.
These agents can be classified...

Direct-Acting Cholinergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship

2.2K
Cholinergic agonists or cholinomimetics mimic the action of acetylcholine to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. They are categorized into direct-acting and indirect-acting agents. The direct-acting cholinergic drugs induce the parasympathetic response by directly binding to the muscarinic or nicotine receptors. In comparison, the indirect-acting cholinergic drugs prevent acetylcholine hydrolysis, indirectly contributing to the extended parasympathetic response.
The direct-acting...

Layers of the Epidermis01:21

Layers of the Epidermis

8.7K
The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is composed of several distinct layers. From deep to superficial, the layers of the epidermis are as follows:
Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...

Subviral Agents01:29

Subviral Agents

585
Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...

Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups01:09

Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups

6.0K
Substituents on the benzene ring that direct an incoming electrophile to undergo substitution at the meta position are called meta directors. All meta directors either have a positive charge on the atom directly bonded to the ring or a partial positive charge. These groups function by withdrawing electrons from the ring through inductive and resonance effects. Consider the carbocation intermediates formed upon the addition of an electrophile on nitrobenzene at the...

Thematic Layering in GIS01:30

Thematic Layering in GIS

361
In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are typically 3D porous materials.
  • Layered ZIFs are rare, limiting their applications in areas like membrane technology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a new layered ZIF material, ZIF-S.
  • To explore the potential of ZIF-S for gas-selective membrane applications.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of ZIF-S using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a structure-directing agent.
  • Characterization of ZIF-S structure using X-ray diffraction.
  • Thermal analysis to study the transformation of ZIF-S.
  • Fabrication of gas-selective membranes using ZIF-S.

Main Results:

  • A new layered ZIF, ZIF-S, with a tetragonal lattice (P4̅21m space group) was successfully synthesized.
  • ZIF-S layers intercalated with surfactants were obtained with large lateral size and high aspect ratio.
  • ZIF-S undergoes topotactic condensation to form parent ZIFs upon heating above 200 °C.
  • Gas-selective membranes fabricated from ZIF-S demonstrated suitability for separating small gas molecules.

Conclusions:

  • ZIF-S represents a novel layered ZIF material with potential for scalable membrane fabrication.
  • The unique layered structure and pore characteristics of ZIF-S are advantageous for gas separation applications.
