Disease relevance of methanol

• The trisaccharide raffinose was prepared in its crystal pentahydrate, anhydrous methanolate, and amorphous forms and evaluated with regard to dehydration and hydration properties at various temperatures and relative humidities [1].

High impact information on methanol

• The compound and its methanolate and ethanolate were characterized by X-ray crystallography and thermal analysis [2].
• The methanolate and ethanolate crystals have an almost identical molecular conformation and crystal packing [2].
• In this study, we isolated three different coumarins compounds (1; poncimarin, 2; heraclenol 3'-methyl ester and 3; oxypeucedanin methanolate) from Poncirus trifoliata Raf., and studied whether these compounds increase glutathione S-transferase (GST) expression and activity in the H4IIE cell-line (a rat hepatocyte cell line) [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of methanol

• Rehydration of the methanolate also restored the pentahydrate structure [1].
• Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated that amorphous phase formation took place for all three polymorphs (gamma, alpha, and delta) and one solvate (IMC methanolate) [4].
