Disease relevance of MYRISTIC ACID

 

Psychiatry related information on MYRISTIC ACID

  • Progressive sensorimotor neuropathy developed in two patients exposed to prolonged (chronic) inhalation of n-hexane (glue sniffing) [6].
  • The effects of the methanolic extract of Radix Angelica Sinensis (Umbellifera) (abbreviated as RAS extract) and n-hexane fraction of RAS extract (RAS(H) fraction) on the various drugs-induced amnesia in rats were studied by using passive avoidance task [7].
  • ZnO whiskers were prepared by a solvothermal process with Zn(OH)4(2-), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), n-amyl alcohol and n-hexane at 140 degrees C. The influence of preparation condition on the morphology of the resultant sample was investigated through change zinc salts, co-surfactants, surfactants, reaction temperature, and reaction time [8].

  • Compounds 6 and 12 were found to be major urinary metabolites following oral administration of their dipropyl analogs (2 and 13, respectively) [34].
  • The method consists of extraction of the sample with acidic chloroform, followed by defatting with n-hexane and finally, HPLC determination with fluorometric detection [35].
  • The assay procedure comprises n-hexane extraction from basic plasma and gas chromatography using nitrogen-selective detection [36].
  • A series of novel chiral heterometal tetrahedral clusters have firstly been separated on cellulose tris-(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) stationary phase by high-performance liquid chromatography using n-hexane as the mobile phase containing different alcohols as modifiers [37].
  • Lipophilic antioxidants of serum were extracted with n-hexane from an ethanolic solution of serum subjected to centrifugation [38].
