In addition, particles with uniformly modified surface were synthesized for comparison. By adjusting oil mixtures, the behavior of particles on the oil-air surface was measured. Moreover, the role of particle agglomerates in surface adsorption process was investigated. Affected by the particle surface contact angle, the surface activity of Janus particles is not always greater than that of uniformly modified particles, which is reflected on delta surface tension and the volume of foam generated. The oil-surface adsorption process of synthesized Janus particles is not only occurred in the form of independent detached particles, but also in the form of particle agglomerates. The adsorption of the particles from the bulk phase to the surface requires the contact angle of the Cassie-Baxter composite surface of the particle agglomerates to be around 90°, but the inherent contact angle of the individual particles is less then 90°.Twelve phosphonopropionates derived from 2-hydroxy-3-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl-2-phosphonopropionic acid (3-IPEHPC) were synthesized and evaluated for their activity as inhibitors of protein geranylgeranylation. The nature of the substituent in the C6 position of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring was responsible for the compound's activity against Rab geranylgeranyl transferase (RGGT). The most active inhibitors disrupted Rab11A prenylation in the human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line. The esterification of carboxylic acid in the phosphonopropionate moiety turned the inhibitor into an inactive analog.The characterization of fluorinated carbon fibers by water sorption has been broadly investigated in this work. In brief, a pitch-based activated carbon fiber (ACF) was submitted to a fluorination process under different cond
