Ionic liquid crystals based on viologen dimers: tuning the mesomorphism by varying the conformational freedom of the ionic layer

2016

ABSTRACTWe investigated the liquid crystal behaviour of newly synthesised bistriflimide salts of symmetric viologen dimers. A smectic A phase was observed for intermediate spacer lengths and for relatively long lateral alkyl chains. The systems were characterised by thermal analysis, polarised optical microscopy, X-ray scattering and solid-state NMR. An intermediate ordered smectic phase was also exhibited by the compounds (except for systems with very short lateral chains) consisting of molten layers of alkyl chains and partially ordered ionic layers. These results, relating to the mesomorphic behaviour of viologen salts, are qualitatively compared to those of the more common imidazolium s…

Synthesis, Thermal, and Optical Properties of Tris(5‐aryl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)‐1,3,5‐triazines, New Star‐Shaped Fluorescent Discotic Liquid Crystals

2019

Abstract The synthesis of tris(aryloxadiazolyl)triazines (TOTs), C 3‐symmetrical star‐shaped mesogenes with a 1,3,5‐triazine center, 5‐phenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole arms, and various peripheral alkoxy side chains is reported. Threefold Huisgen reaction on a central triazine tricarboxylic acid and suitable aryltetrazoles yields the title compounds. Selected analogues with a benzene center are included in this study and allow for an evaluation of the impact of the central unit on the physical properties. Thermal (differential scanning calorimetry, DSC; polarization optical microscopy, POM), optical (UV/Vis, fluorescence), electric (time of flight, TOF), and structural (single crystal; wide‐angle X‐…

Early ROS-mediated DNA damage and oxidative stress biomarkers in Monoclonal B Lymphocytosis

2012

Monoclonal B Lymphocytosis (MBL) is defined as asymptomatic monoclonal B-cell expansion characterised by a CLL-phenotype, but with less than 5 x 10(9)/I circulating cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell damage plays a critical role in the initiation of carcinogenesis as well as in malignant transformation. The goal of this study was to perform an analysis of the oxidative stress statuses of patients affected by MBL and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We examined peripheral blood and urine specimens from 29 patients with MBL, 55 with CLL and 31 healthy subjects. There was a significant increase in the occurrence of the mutagenic base 8-oxo-2'-deoxiguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in th…

Il danno da perdita del rapporto parentale nella giurisprudenza italiana

2018

Il presente lavoro si occupa di uno dei più controversi e complessi temi della responsabilità civile in Italia, ossia quello concernente la risarcibilità dei danni non patrimoniali sofferti per la perdita di un parente. Nonostante l?assenza di una specifica disposizione nel codice civile italiano, la Corte di Cassazione ha stabilito che questi danni possono essere liquidati, ma solo se sussistono condizioni ben precise, determinate dallo stesso Supremo Collegio

Liquidación de la sociedad de gananciales: el caso de la adjudicación forzosa de participaciones sociales de carácter ganancial a un solo cónyuge. Co…

In a liquidation of community property, the rules for the partition of the inheritance are of suppletive application. Therefore, the sentence opts for a criterion of flexible interpretation of those rules, whose application will be subject to the objective entity of the property in question. Accordingly, when the only property to be shared between the spouses is constituted by set of shares of common nature, taking into account the special circumstances of the case, such shares could be awarded to one of the spouses with the obligation to compensate the other in money, even if it requests the sale of the shares in the public auction. To this end, the request would have to impede the possibi…

Desarrollo de nuevas estrategias para el diseño de técnicas de cromatografía líquida miniaturizada en línea: nanopartículas, contaminación secundaria

2019

In recent years one of the most important trends in Analytical Chemistry has been the development of new analytical methodologies based on the miniaturization, simplification and automatization of the analytical process, in order to reduce the environmental impact of the analysis without compromising the sensitivity and selectivity. In this respect miniaturized liquid chromatography (LC) systems, such as capillary liquid chromatography (CapLC) and nanoliquid chromatography (NanoLC) are important achievements. These techniques are environmental friendly because the amount of material involved is limited and organic solvents, electricity and the wastes generated are lower than in conventional…

Room temperature ionic liquids based on cationic porphyrin derivatives and tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate anion

2011

A series of 11 low melting ionic liquids based on meso-substituted A3B -porphyrins and A2B2-porphyrins containing one or two pyridyl substituents have been synthesized in high yields. Three of them are liquids at room temperature. All these porphyrinic salts were characterized by1H NMR,19F NMR, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy. The thermal properties and conductivity values of these salt derivatives have been also measured. A specific conductivity value of up to 4 mS.cm-1could be obtained for a compound having the counter-anion B(C6F5)4-.

Polyoxypregnanes as safe, potent, and specific ABCB1-inhibitory pro-drugs to overcome multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo

2021

Multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) is significantly hindering effective cancer chemotherapy. However, currently, no ABCB1-inhibitory drugs have been approved to treat MDR cancer clinically, mainly due to the inhibitor specificity, toxicity, and drug interactions. Here, we reported that three polyoxypregnanes (POPs) as the most abundant constituents of Marsdenia tenacissima (M. tenacissima) were novel ABCB1-modulatory pro-drugs, which underwent intestinal microbiota-mediated biotransformation in vivo to generate active metabolites. The metabolites at non-toxic concentrations restored chemosensitivity in ABCB1-overexpressing cancer cells v…
