Metal complexes of sulfanilamide derivatives. Crystal structure of [Zn(sulfathiazole)2]·H2O

1993

Abstract The crystal structure of the Zn(sulfathiazole) 2 ·H 2 O complex is reported. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/ c . The cell dimensions are a = 9.098(3) A, b = 17.871(5) A, c = 14.61(1) A, β = 99.44(6)°, V = 2343(2) A 3 , Z = 4, and D x = 1.68 g/cm 3 . The final conventional R-factor = 0.027 for 2669 “observed” reflections and 191 variables. The Zn ion is surrounded in a regular tetrahedral arrangement by two N amino and two N thiazole atoms pertaining to four sulfathiazole (Hstz) ligands. Each stz anion, acting as a bidentate ligand, chelates to two Zn ions as a bridge through the N thiazole and the N amino atoms. The IR, 13 C NMR in solid state, 1 H NMR, …

Enhancer blocking activity located near the 3′ end of the sea urchin early H2A histone gene

1997

The sea urchin early histone repeating unit contains one copy of each of the five histone genes whose coordinate expression during development is regulated by gene-specific elements. To learn how within the histone repeating unit a gene-specific activator can be prevented to communicate with the heterologous promoters, we searched for domain boundaries by using the enhancer blocking assay. We focused on the region near the 3′ end of the H2A gene where stage-specific nuclease cleavage sites appear upon silencing of the early histone genes. We demonstrated that a DNA fragment of 265 bp in length, defined as sns (for silencing nucleoprotein structure), blocked the enhancer activity of the H2A…

p53-Mediated downregulation of H ferritin promoter transcriptional efficiency via NF-Y.

2008

The tumor suppressor protein p53 triggers many of the cellular responses to DNA damage by regulating the transcription of a series of downstream target genes. p53 acts on the promoter of the target genes by interacting with the trimeric transcription factor NF-Y. H ferritin promoter activity is tightly dependent on a multiprotein complex called Bbf; on this complex NF-Y plays a major role. The aim of this work was to study the modulation of H ferritin expression levels by p53. CAT reporter assays indicate that: (i) p53 overexpression strongly downregulates the transcriptional efficiency driven by an H ferritin promoter construct containing only the NF-Y recognition sequence and that the phe…

Suppression of pigment interference in the gas chromatographic analysis of proteinaceous binding media in paintings with EDTA.

2004

A method to suppress the interference of pigments in the analysis of proteinaceous media used in paintings is presented in this paper. This method is based on the formation of metallic ion-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) complexes previous to the derivatisation process, using ethyl chloroformate (ECF), to transform the amino acids in N(O,S)-ethoxycarbonyl (EOC) ethyl esters. Test specimens, containing different proteinaceous media such as albumin, porcine gelatine and casein mixed with lead white, chalk, verdigris and raw Sienna have been prepared for carrying out this study. Different pH conditions have been probed for the different pigments studied. Values of peak area ratio of ami…

Determination of alternative and conventional chelating agents as copper(II) complexes by capillary zone electrophoresis—The first use of didecyldime…

Separation of U(VI) and Th(IV) from Some Rare Earths by Thin Layer Chromatography with Di‐(2‐Ethylhexyl)‐Dithiophosphoric Acid on Silica Gel

2005

Abstract Separation of U(VI) and Th(IV) from some rare earths by TLC has been studied using silica gel H and silica gel H impregnated with ammonium nitrate as the stationary phase. The solvent mixture ethyl‐methyl‐ketone–tetrahydrofuran (6∶3, v/v) containing di-(2‐ethylhexyl)-dithiophosphoric acid was used as the mobile phase. When silica gel H impregnated with 2.5 M NH4NO3 was used as stationary phase, the resolution was much improved and the separation of rare earths from each other was also achieved. The tetrad‐effect was observed in variation of R*m versus the atomic number of rare earths.

Comparative studies on cytotoxic effects of dental amalgams and alternative alloys according to ISO standards in vitro

1995

Deleterious effects of dental alloys, especially those of dental amalgams, have become an important issue in current discussions on biomaterials. Cytotoxicity and further related risks of amalgams are discussed in a controversial way in the literature without leading to a final conclusion. There is still a need for basic clinical and pre-clinical research, especially with respect to the wide distribution of dental amalgams. Standardized methods of cytotoxicity testing have been established by the ISO. It was the aim of the present study to detect and compare possible cytotoxic effects of dental amalgams and alternative non-amalgam alloys in vitro. According to the ISO standards, direct cont…

Tantalocene complexes as bidentate métalloligands: (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(H2)(PPh2) (C5Me5) (C5H4X)Ta(CO) (PPh2) (X = PPh2, CH2CH2NMe2)

1999

Abstract The synthesis of new bidentate metalloligands derived from tantalocene (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(H2)(PPh2) (X = PPh2, 2P; X = CH2CH2NMe22N) and (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(CO)(PPh2) 4(P,N) is described. When opposed to chromium unsaturated fragments the phosphino functionalised complexes 2P and 4P act as chelating bidentate ligands affording Ta(V) (C5Me5)(C5H4PPh2)Ta(CH2) (μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4 or Ta(III) (C5Me5)(C5H4PPh2)Ta(CO)(μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4 bimetallic complexes. The same reaction carried out starting from 2N gives rise to a μ-phosphido, μ-hydrido dibridged complex Cp*(C5H4CH2CH2NMe2)TaH(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4.

The chemistry of Cr(VI) adsorption on to poly(p-phenylenediamine) adsorbent

2019

Abstract Water pollution due to industrial processes has necessitated and spurred robust research into the development of adsorbent materials for remediation. Polyphenylenediamines (PPD) have attracted significant attention because of their dual cationic and redox properties. They are able to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in solution. Interrogation of the chemical processes involved in the Cr(VI) adsorption on para-PPD was primarily by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It was confirmed that the underlying oxidation of the amino groups to imines during the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was irreversible. This process occurred at both acidi…
