Gas chromatography was utilized to determine triacylglycerol profiles in milk and non-milk fat. The values of triacylglycerol were subjected to linear discriminant analysis to detect and quantify non-milk fat in milk fat. Two groups of milk fat were analyzed: A) raw milk fat from the central region of Mexico (n = 216) and B) ultrapasteurized milk fat from 3 industries (n = 36), as well as pork lard (n = 2), bovine tallow (n = 2), fish oil (n = 2), peanut (n = 2), corn (n = 2), olive (n = 2), and soy (n = 2). The samples of raw milk fat were adulterated with non-milk fats in proportions of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20% to form 5 groups. The first function obtained from the linear discriminant analysis allowed the correct classification of 94.4% of the samples with levels <10% of adulteration. The triacylglycerol values of the ultrapasteurized milk fats were evaluated with the discriminant function, demonstrating that one industry added non-milk fat to its product in 80% of the samples analyzed.
The 1,1,3-trioxo-2H,4H-thieno[3,4-e][1,2,4]thiadiazines (TTDs) represent a recently discovered chemical class of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors that selectively block human immunodeficiency virus type 1 replication. In a search for a better understanding of their mode of binding and with the aim of obtaining novel lead compounds, a second series of TTD derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for antiviral activity. The design of the new compounds was based on a variety of chemical modifications which were carried out in the original prototype 20a (QM 96521). Substitution of a halogen at the meta position of the N-2 benzyl group resulted in an improvement of the antiviral activity by 1 order of magnitude. Compounds bearing at the N-4 position a cyanomethyl, propargyl, or benzyl substituent were found to be the most potent of the series. Modifying the thieno[3,4-e] ring fused to the 1,2,4-thiadiazine moiety to other heterocyclic ring systems decreased the potency. The results obtained in this investigation have provided new indications for the design of even more effective TTDs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
