In vitro inhibition of Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation on hydroxyapatite by subinhibitory concentrations of anthraquinones.

Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 51 , 1541-4, (2007)

We report that certain anthraquinones (AQs) reduce Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation on hydroxyapatite at concentrations below the MIC. Although AQs are known to generate reactive oxygen species, the latter do not underlie the observed effect. Our result...

Synthesis and activity of substituted anthraquinones against a human filarial parasite, Brugia malayi.

J. Med. Chem. 48 , 2822-30, (2005)

Lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis) is a global public health problem caused by the parasitic nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi. We have previously reported anthraquinones from daylily roots with potent activity against pathogenic trematode Sc...

Synthesis of glycoside derivatives of hydroxyanthraquinone with ability to dissolve and inhibit formation of crystals of calcium oxalate. Potential compounds in kidney stone therapy.

Eur. J. Med. Chem. 45 , 1001-7, (2010)

Synthesis of glycosyl derivatives of hydroxyanthraquinones (6-10) potentially useful for kidney stone therapy is presented. These compounds were analyzed as inhibitors of calcium oxalate crystals formation as well as substances with the ability of dissolving ...

Solvent effects on the photophysical properties of poly[1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinoneimine-1,3-bis(phenylene-ester-methylene)tetramethyldisiloxane].

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 134 , 218-224, (2015)

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of a polyquinoneimine, PQI, built on 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone and a siloxane diamine, 1,3-bis(amino-phenylene-ester-methylene)tetramethyldisiloxane, have been investigated in solvents of different polarities. The effect o...

An investigation of anthraquinone dye biodegradation by immobilized Aspergillus flavus in fluidized bed bioreactor.

Environ. Sci. Pollut. Res. Int. 19(5) , 1728-37, (2012)

Biodegradation and biodecolorization of Drimarene blue K(2)RL (anthraquinone) dye by a fungal isolate Aspergillus flavus SA2 was studied in lab-scale immobilized fluidized bed bioreactor (FBR) system.Fungus was immobilized on 0.2-mm sand particles. The reacto...

Evaluation of natural anthracene-derived compounds as antimitotic agents.

Drug Discov. Ther. 7(2) , 84-9, (2013)

Plants that contain anthracene-derived compounds such as anthraquinones have been reported to act as anticancer besides their use for millennia to treat constipation, but the mechanism of action is still unfolding. Therefore we pursue this study to explore a ...

Mutagenicity of anthraquinone and hydroxylated anthraquinones in the Ames/Salmonella microsome system.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 43(6) , 1354-9, (1982)

The mutagenicity of anthracene, anthraquinone, and four structurally similar compounds of each was evaluated in the Ames/Salmonella microsome assay. Anthraquinone was shown to be mutagenic for strains TA1537, TA1538, and TA98 in the absence of rat liver homog...

Electrospun 1,4-DHAQ-doped cellulose nanofiber films for reusable fluorescence detection of trace Cu2+ and further for Cr3+.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 46(1) , 367-73, (2012)

1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone (1,4-DHAQ, a fluorophore) doped cellulose (CL) (denoted as 1,4-DHAQ@CL) microporous nanofiber film has been achieved via simple electrospinning and subsequent deacetylating, and used for highly sensitive and selective fluorescence d...

Synchrotron radiation linear dichroism (SRLD) investigation of the electronic transitions of quinizarin, chrysazin, and anthrarufin.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 77(1) , 279-86, (2010)

The electronic transitions of the three alpha,alpha'-dihydroxy derivatives of anthraquinone, 1,4-dihydroxy-, 1,8-dihydroxy-, and 1,5-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (quinizarin, chrysazin, and anthrarufin), were investigated by synchrotron radiation linear dichr...

Comparison of sorption behavior of Th(IV) and U(VI) on modified impregnated resin containing quinizarin with that conventional prepared impregnated resin.

J. Hazard. Mater. 190(1-3) , 755-65, (2011)

This paper reports the results obtained by studying the ion-exchange properties of a new solvent impregnated resin (SIR), which was prepared by impregnation of quinizarin (1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone, QNZ) on Amberlite XAD-16 after nitration of the benzene rin...
