[The anti-ischemic properties of crown ether derivatives]
Abstract:
Experiments on open-chest anaesthetized cats were made to test derivatives of crown ethers, such as benzylase-15-crown-5 and dibenzylase-15-crown-5 for their effects on myocardial ischemia and the functional status of a myocardial ischemic focus in temporary coronary occlusion during coronary spasm induced by dihydroergotamine and during coronary microthrombosis caused by ADP. When intravenously administered in doses of 0.5-15 mg/kg, the tested agents were found to enhance myocardial tolerance to ischemia, depressed ST segment in ischemia induced by coronary occlusion and administration of ATP, and prevented ST-segment depression during coronary spasm.

Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.
Classification of Ethers
Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
Masking and Demasking Agents
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on the metal...
