On the Dichotomic Behavior of the Z-2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole with Acids in Toluene and in Dioxane/Water: Rea…
2004
The mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of the Z-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (4a) and of the Z-phenylhydrazone (4b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into the relevant triazoles 5a and 5b in toluene has been quantitatively investigated in the presence of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and of piperidine at 313.1 K. While the behavior in the presence of piperidine recalls the one previously evidenced for some Z-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole, the study of the reactivity in the presence of TCA has most interestingly evidenced a general-acid-catalyzed rearrangement for “both” 4a and 4b. Thus, 4a offers the first example of a solvent-dependent dichotomic behavior in MRH processes o…
Sintesi, caratterizzazione e studio dell'attività biologica di nuovi complessi mononucleari di PT(II) con leganti eterociclici
2008
Sono stati precedentemente sintetizzati complessi mono- e polinucleari di Pt(II) [1, 2] che hanno mostrato attività citotossica maggiore del cisplatino. Tre nuovi complessi mononucleari di Pt(II) analoghi del cisplatino sono stati quindi in seguito preparati usando leganti eterociclici quali: 5,6-difenil-3-(2-piridil)-1,2,4-triazina-4’,4’’-disulfonato sodico (dptdn), 5,6-difenil-3-(2-piridil)-1,2,4-triazina (dpt) e 2,6-bis(2-benzimidazolil)piridina (bbp). I risultanti tre complessi [PtCl(bbp)]Cl (1), [PtCl2(dptdn)](H2O) (2) e [(dptdn)(dpt)Pt]Cl2(H2O) (3), ionici (1) e (3) e neutro (2), sono stati sintetizzati e strutturalmente caratterizzati tramite spettroscopia IR e NMR 1D e 2D 1H e 13C. …
Mononuclear rearrangements of heterocycles in water/β-CD: information on the real site of reaction from structural modifications of substrates and fr…
2007
Abstract The effect of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) on the reactivity in the base-catalyzed pathway for the rearrangement in water of some ( Z )-hydrazones of 3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles ( 1b – f ) into the relevant triazoles ( 2b – f ) was investigated, finding different behavior as a function of the proton concentration. ESIMS and 1 H NMR data evidence the formation of host – guest complexes. The whole of the experimental and calculated (MM2) data enabled us to draw some intriguing conclusions concerning the influence of the structures of the substrates and the nature of the formed host – guest complexes on the real site of the reaction.
CD14+CD16+ Monocyte Binding to Myeloma Cells Is Required for Daratumumab Dependent Killing in Multiple Myeloma Patients
2018
Abstract Recently, the introduction of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, Daratumumab (DARA), in multiple myeloma (MM) therapy has improved the response rate of relapsed MM patients. However only a fraction of the DARA-treated patients respond, thus further studies on DARA mechanisms of action are needed. Because the antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) mediated by monocyte, is one of the mechanisms through DARA exerts its anti-MM activity, an ex-vivo approach was established in order to investigate which mechanisms or patient's immunological characteristics could influence DARA-mediated killing of MM cells. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) obtained from 25 MM patients (12 new…
V?9V?2 T lymphocytes activation in osteoporotic patients treated with bisphosphonates
2014
Treatment with bisphosphonates induces differentiation and activation of Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes obtained from peripheral blood showing also an antitumoral effect in both in vitro and in vivo models. Aim of the present study was to determine in vivo the effect of BPs treatment in patients affected with osteoporosis on Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes. We have studied Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes expansion and differentiation from PBMC obtained from osteoporotic patients treated with one of the following bisphosphonates zoledronate, alendronate, neridronate or risedronate. We have found that zoledronic acid, followed by alendronate was the most effective on reducing CM population (100%) and increasing TEM and TEMR…
Cancer Signaling Transcriptome Is Upregulated in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
2020
We aimed to explore the differences in the whole transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells between elderly individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). We conducted a microarray-based transcriptome analysis of 19 individuals with T2D and 15 without. Differentially expressed genes according to linear models were submitted to the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis system to conduct a functional enrichment analysis. We established that diseases, biological functions, and canonical signaling pathways were significantly associated with T2D patients when their logarithms of Benjamini&ndash
Can the absence of solvation of neutral reagents by ionic liquids be responsible for the high reactivity in base-assisted intramolecular nucleophilic…
2005
[reaction: see text] The kinetics of the rearrangement of the Z-phenylhydrazone of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a) into the relevant 4-benzoylamino-2,5-diphenyl-1,2,3-triazole (2a) induced by amines have been studied in two room-temperature ionic liquids (IL-1, [BMIM][BF4] and IL-2, [BMIM][PF6]). The data collected show that the reaction occurs faster in ionic liquids than in other conventional solvents previously studied (both polar or apolar, protic or aprotic). Presumably, this could depend on their peculiar ability to minimize the strong substrate-solvent, amine-solvent and amine-amine interactions occurring in conventional solvents.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drives Expansion of Low-Density Neutrophils Equipped With Regulatory Activities
2019
In human tuberculosis (TB) neutrophils represent the most commonly infected phagocyte but their role in protection and pathology is highly contradictory. Moreover, a subset of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) has been identified in TB, but their functions remain unclear. Here, we have analyzed total neutrophils and their low-density and normal-density (NDNs) subsets in patients with active TB disease, in terms of frequency, phenotype, functional features, and gene expression signature. Full-blood counts from Healthy Donors (H.D.), Latent TB infected, active TB, and cured TB patients were performed. Frequency, phenotype, burst activity, and suppressor T cell activity of the two different subse…
Apoptotic-like Leishmania exploit the host´s autophagy machinery to reduce T-cell-mediated parasite elimination
2015
Apoptosis is a well-defined cellular process in which a cell dies, characterized by cell shrinkage and DNA fragmentation. In parasites like Leishmania, the process of apoptosis-like cell death has been described. Moreover upon infection, the apoptotic-like population is essential for disease development, in part by silencing host phagocytes. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of how apoptosis in unicellular organisms may support infectivity remains unclear. Therefore we investigated the fate of apoptotic-like Leishmania parasites in human host macrophages. Our data showed--in contrast to viable parasites--that apoptotic-like parasites enter an LC3(+), autophagy-like compartment. The compartm…
ACTH-Eosinopenie nach Splenektomie und Blockade des RES
1955
Es wird uber ACTH-Versuche an Meerschweinchen bei verschiedenem Funktionszustand des RES berichtet. Splenektomierte, splenektomiert und zusatzlich mit 6 cm3 sowie mit 18 cm3 Trypanblau blockierte Tiere zeigten jedesmal ein deutliches Absinken der Eosinophilen im peripheren Blut nach Injektion von 10 mg ACTH. Eine Aufhebung oder Abschwachung des eosinopenischen Effektes durch die Funktionseinschrankung des RES wurde nicht beobachtet.
