Although the exact mechanism of action is unknown, pregabalin selectively binds to alpha2delta (A2D) subunits of presynaptic voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) located in the central nervous system (CNS).
Hexane /ËhÉkseÉªn/ is an alkane of six carbon atoms, with the chemical formula C 6 H 14. typical laboratory use of hexanes is to extract oil and grease contaminants from water and soil for analysis. Since hexane cannot be easily deprotonated, it is used in the laboratory for reactions that involve very strong bases, such as the preparation of organolithiums.
n-Hexane has chemical properties that provide ideal functionality as a solvent for extraction of vegetable oils. n-Hexane is a compound of specific molecular structure chosen for use as a pure (0.5 to 5.0% hexane isomers and other impurities) solvent or reagent in laboratory research settings.wanson Regents Professor and Interim Director Hexane extraction in soyfood processing The selection of hexane as the solvent of choice for extraction of oils, other nonpolar constituents of plant foods, or removal of undesirable constituents from plant foods is one of the most common practices in the food industry.
