The aim of the present work was to evaluate the phytochemical, antibacterial and molluscicidal properties of Agave americana and Agave angustifolia. The leaves were washed, dried and pulverized. It was determined the presence of primary and secondary metabolites in aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extracts. The antibacterial activity of the hydro-alcoho...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the phytochemical and antibacterial properties of extracts of leaves and flower of Tagetes erecta L. Plants from the University of Matanzas area were collected. The samples were washed, dried and powdered. Aqueous and ethanolic extracts were prepared and the qualitative amounts of various secondary metabo...

Industrial applications require enzymes highly stable and economically viable in terms of reusa-bility. Enzyme immobilization is an exciting alternative to improve the stability of enzymatic processes. The immobilization of two commercial enzymes is reported here (cellulase and xylanase) using three chemical methods (adsorption, reticulation, and c...
Article
Horseradish peroxidase was cross-linked with cysteamine-capped Au nanoparticles and further immobilized on sodium alginate-coated Au electrode through polyelectrostatic interactions. The electrode was employed for constructing a reagentless amperometric biosensor for H2O2. The electrode showed linear response (poised at −400 mV vs. Ag/AgCl) toward...
Article
A polythiolated-beta-cyclodextrin polymer was synthesized and used as a coating material for gold electrodes. The functionalized electrodes were employed for immobilizing adamantane-modified horseradish peroxidase via supramolecular associations. The enzyme-containing electrode was used as an amperometric biosensor device with 1mM hydroquinone as e...
Article
A new sensor design is reported for the construction of an amperometric enzyme biosensor toward H (2)O(2). It was based in the supramolecular immobilization of alternating layers of horseradish peroxidase (either modified with 1-adamantane or beta-cyclodextrin-branched carboxymethylcellulose residues) on Au electrodes coated with polythiolated beta...
Article
Horseradish peroxidase, previously modified with 1-adamantane moieties, was supramolecularly immobilized on gold electrodes coated with perthiolated β-cyclodextrin. The functionalized electrode was employed for the construction of an amperometric biosensor device for hydrogen peroxide using 1 mM hydroquinone as electrochemical mediator. The biosens...
Article
A novel strategy based on the Ugi multicomponent reaction was employed for immobilizing horseradish peroxidase on sodium alginate-coated gold electrode. The electrode was employed for constructing an amperometric biosensor device using 1 mM hydroquinone as electrochemical mediator. The electrode showed linear response (poised at −300 mV vs Ag/AgCl)...
Article
Xanthine oxidase modified with 1-adamantanyl residues was supramolecularly immobilized on Au electrodes coated with Au nanoparticles coated with a perthiolated beta-cyclodextrin polymer; the analytical response of the electrode toward xanthine was evaluated.
