Knowing where agricultural land is located is crucial for regional and global food security planning, and information on field size offers valuable insight…
A series of novel low molecular weight compounds with high activity against Plasmodium falciparum have been developed, synthesized and tested. The compounds are based on a substituted steroidal pharmacophor and are as antiinfective agents in their structure completely new.
The compounds are highly active against red blood cell stages of P. falciparum, also of chloroquine-resistant parasites. Present SAR data indicate that the hydrophobic steroid component and a hydroxyarylmethylamino group are essential for the antimalarial action of the compounds. The hydrophobic steroid part is likely to mediate membrane permeability.
H₂Oleum is an absolutely stable microemulsion and the first thermodynamically stable water/fuel emulsion ever – stable over an extremely wide range of temperatures and operating conditions.
H₂Oleum is a bicontinuous microemulsion – i.e. both the oil and the water components form continuous domains within the liquid. H₂Oleum significantly saves surfactant and the water/fuel ratio can be freely varied.
We offer and licenses and technical support for the commercialisation of H₂Oleum to innovative companies.
Patent applications have been filed for H₂Oleum in Europe and North America.
