Fatty Alcohols
Abstract
Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is an accepted mode of respiratory support for preterm infants with respiratory insufficiency. To avoid potential sequelae of endotracheal (ET) intubation and mechanical ventilation, prophylactic aerosolization of surfactant delivered via nCPAP has b...

Abstract
We conclude that improvements in lung mechanics, gas exchange, and changes in CBF are comparable for a porcine-derived and peptide-containing synthetic surfactant, despite instilled volumes differing by 2-fold. Intrapulmonary distribution of surfactant is more uniform after a larger volume is instil...

Abstract
We detected several long chain aliphatic alcohols ranging from C18-C32 in honey bees and the level of these alcohols varied in each body segment. C18:0Alc and C20:0Alc are more pronounced in the head, whereas C22:0Alc to C32Alc are abundant in the abdomen. One of the cDNAs coding for a fatty acyl-Co...

Abstract
We describe the discovery of an alkane biosynthesis pathway from cyanobacteria. The pathway consists of an acyl-acyl carrier protein reductase and an aldehyde decarbonylase, which together convert intermediates of fatty acid metabolism to alkanes and alkenes. The aldehyde decarbonylase is related to...

Abstract
The hydrogenation of biodiesel was investigated in presence of thermoregulated phase-transfer catalysts to produce fatty alcohols. The thermoregulated catalytic system Pd/IV (IV: P-ligand, tri-(methoxyl polyethylene glycol)-phosphite) exhibited an efficient catalytic performance for the hydrogenatio...

Abstract
We serendipitously discovered that an endogenous OR in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is highly sensitive to the sex pheromone of the silkworm moth, bombykol. Intriguingly, the fruit fly detectors are more sensitive than the receptors of the silkworm moth, although its ecological significan...

Abstract
Two different mixture synthesis routes have been used to make the four stereoisomers of petrocortyne A. A first quick and dirty route provided a mixture of the four isomers in nonselective fashion. Mosher and 2-naphthylmethoxyacetic acid (NMA) ester methods were developed to identify the components,...

Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of MUC5AC expression of each polyphenol was found as follows: [6]-gingerol, 1 microM; EGCG, 20 microM; quercetin, 40 microM; and curcumin, 10 microM. No polyphenol influenced cell proliferation at this MIC. CBF was not affected by [6]-gingerol, quercetin, or EG...
