Foto-reattori a membrana per la valorizzazione del CO2

In questo lavoro è stata studiata la foto-riduzione del CO2 sotto irraggiamento con luce UV-Visibile, accoppiando per la prima volta la tecnologia del reattore continuo a membrana con l’utilizzo di catalizzatori a base di C3N4 puro o compositi C3N4-TiO2 dispersi in una matrice polimerica di Nafion.

Graphitic C3N4 for CO2 reduction: a photoactivity and stability study

C3N4 for CO2 photoreduction: catalyst performance and stability in batch and continuous reactor

In this study, various C3N4 samples were prepared and characterized. CO2 photoreduction was carried out by using C3N4 as powder and coated on glass support in a batch reactor or embedded in a Nafion membrane in a continuous reactor

Effects of organotin(IV)(metal-sulfonatophenyl)porphinates on the growth of A375 human melanoma cells

Oncogeriatry: Communication, sharing, coordination of an emerging reality. The IIIrd Official Meeting of the AIOM Working Group on Oncogeriatry

The clinical management of the oncological elderly patient represents one of the most important challenges for today's oncology and, above all, for the future. The number of elderly patients with neoplastic pathologies is destined to increase proportionally to the duration of life and therefore a correct management of their conditions becomes an element of priority from the scientific and economic point of view. Close relationships and collaborations between Oncologist and Geriatrics are definitely desirable to be able to guarantee the best way for a good treatment (specific and of support) of these elderly patients. The components of the AIOM Working Group on Oncogeriatry have gathered the…

Nanoassemblies of Amphiphilic Cyclodextrin and Tributyltin(IV)Complexes of meso-Tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine: Spectroscopy, Release and Cytotoxicity on Human Melanoma Cells

Porphyrin tributyltin(IV) complexes for a novel approach in the tratment of human melanoma

Melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer, largely refractory to existing therapies. The study of porphyrin derivatives as potential anti-tumor drugs has been an interesting field of investigation in the last years. Recently, a photo-independent cytotoxic effect of (Bu3Sn)4TPPS in the blocking melanoma cell proliferation an inducing a morphology cell change was investigated.[1] Amphiphilic CD (ACyD) provides more water soluble and adaptable nanovectors through modulation of the balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains at both CD sides. ACyD can be conveniently tailored by covalently appending fluorescent label or receptor-targeting glycosyl- groups and can encapsulate conven…
