Disease relevance of CHEBI:35686

 

High impact information on CHEBI:35686

  • 1-Butanol, but not 2-butanol, completely blocked the TPA-induced inhibition of melanogenesis, suggesting the involvement of PLD in this event [3].
  • Thiamin thiazolone is solvated preferentially to thiamin in 2-butanol, a medium whose polarity should resemble that of the binding site [4].
  • Formation of PA and astroglial proliferation were strongly inhibited by 1-butanol (0.1-1%), a substrate of PLD, but were unaffected by t-butanol, a non-substrate; 2-butanol had intermediate effects [5].
  • Platelet-derived growth factor and endothelin-1 mimicked the mitogenic effect of FCS; their effects were also inhibited by the butanols in the potency order 1-butanol > 2-butanol > tert-butanol [5].
  • The plasma samples were extracted at alkaline pH with hexane containing 2-butanol (20 mL/L) and then back-extracted into phosphate buffer (0.1 mol/L, pH 3.0) [6].
 

Biological context of CHEBI:35686

 

Anatomical context of CHEBI:35686

  • A type 2 binding spectrum was observed for the interaction of 2-butanol with microsomes from ethanol-fed rats, but not with controls.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[12]
  • We applied enantiomers of two chiral anesthetic alcohols (2-butanol and 2-pentanol) that are enantioselective for the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) preventing movement in 50% of animals and one (2-hexanol) that was not to frog oocytes [13].
  • By using e.s.r. spectroscopy coupled with the spin trapping technique we have detected the formation of free radical intermediates by rat liver microsomes incubated with either ethanol, 2-propanol or 2-butanol in the presence of a NADPH regenerating system and 4-pyridyl-l-oxide-t-butyl nitrone (4-POBN) as spin trap [14].

Gene context of CHEBI:35686

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CHEBI:35686

  • Two separation methods, ultrafiltration and 2-butanol extraction, have shown that a peptide is the major agent responsible for bitterness in peptic hemoglobin hydrolysates [20].
  • Mixtures of ethanol, 2-propanol and 2-butanol can be used as a cryoglue to mount vitrified biological specimens for ultrathin cryosectioning [21].
  • The adsorption and thermal chemistry of 2-butanol and propylene oxide, each individually and when coadsorbed together, were characterized on Pt(111) single-crystal surfaces by using temperature programmed desorption and reflection-adsorption infrared spectroscopies [22].
