β¦ Synopsis
Xanthohumol (Xn) has well-established chemopreventive potential in vitro. In order to carry out in vivo bioavailability and tissue distribution studies,( 14)C-labelled Xn was produced by biolabelling. Supplying hop sprouts with 5 mCi [U-(14)C]glucose led to incorporation of (14)C into Xn. Delivering the radioactive precursor at once resulted in Xn with a specific activity of 318 microCi.mmol(-1); if however the amount was supplied in aliquots over 4 days a specific activity of only 53.1 microCi.mmol(-1) Xn was obtained.

This review summarizes the capacity of xanthohumol (XN) in comparison with additional hop constituents and metabolites to act as an antiinfective agent against microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and malarial protozoa. XN was shown to inhibit the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus a
A direct and a diffusion method to be applied when measuring ~4C labelled carbon dioxide by productivity measurements in natural water have been described. The labelled carbonate was trapped by t N solutions of NaOH, KOH or Ba(OH h. Results comparable to those obtainable by the biological method are
A method for the determination of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in coastal marine sediments is presented. Acidified porewater was vacuum distilled to extract the VFA and the distillate was analysed by gas chromatography (Porapak QS column and flame ionization detection). The limit of detection was 2/zM
