Disease relevance of propylbenzene

Biotransformations of a series of ortho-, meta- and para-substituted ethylbenzene and propylbenzene substrates have been carried out, using Pseudomonas putida UV4, a source of toluene dioxygenase (TDO) [1].

High impact information on propylbenzene

2. We now report on the effects of other commonly abused solvents (benzene, m-xylene, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, 1,1,1-trichlorethane (TCE) and those of a convulsive solvent, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether (flurothyl), on NMDA-induced currents measured in XENOPUS oocytes expressing NR1/2A or NR1/2B receptor subtypes [2].
The effect of microwave irradiation on the mass transfer kinetics was determined by measuring the second moment of small pulses of propylbenzene in a 70:30 (v/v) solution of methanol in water and microwave outputs of 15 and 30 W [3].
Involvement of cytochrome P450 in hydroxylation of propylbenzene by Fusarium moniliforme strain MS31 [4].
Hydroxylation of propylbenzene needed molecular oxygen, and NADPH as a coenzyme gave a higher yield than NADH [4].
Acetoin added to the medium increased both growth and activity of the enzyme, and hydroxylation of propylbenzene increased by 1.4-fold [5].
