An assessment of the cardiac toxicity of compounds that cause methemoglobinemia using a non-vascularized fish heart model

Creator:

Nichols, John W.

Abstract:

Non-vascularized hearts of buffalo sculpin (Enophrys bison) were used to investigate the cardiac toxicity of compounds that cause methemoglobinemia. The affinity of sculpin cardiac myoglobin for oxygen (P50 = 1.10 torr at 20 C°, pH 7.8) was lower than that of mammals studied (P50 = .44 and .76 torr for...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:

Torres-Andrade, Paola A.

Abstract:

Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Structure elucidation of bioactive natural products from Madagascar marine algae and cyanobacteria

Creator:

Andrianasolo, Eric Hajaniriana

Abstract:

This thesis is an investigation of the natural products deriving from marine algae and cyanobacteria and has resulted in the discovery of eleven new secondary metabolites. The structure elucidations of these new molecules were performed using a variety of spectroscopic techniques. Four new macrolides were isolated and characterized from the...
