Geldanamycin-induced osteosarcoma cell death is associated with hyperacetylation and loss of mitochondrial pool of heat shock protein 60 (hsp60)
2013
Osteosarcoma is one of the most malignant tumors of childhood and adolescence that is often resistant to standard chemo- and radio-therapy. Geldanamycin and geldanamycin analogs have been recently studied as potential anticancer agents for osteosarcoma treatment. Here, for the first time, we have presented novel anticancer mechanisms of geldanamycin biological activity. Moreover, we demonstrated an association between the effects of geldanamycin on the major heat shock proteins (HSPs) and the overall survival of highly metastatic human osteosarcoma 143B cells. We demonstrated that the treatment of 143B cells with geldanamycin caused a subsequent upregulation of cytoplasmic Hsp90 and Hsp70 w…

N-benzoylindole-2,3-quinodimethane: Diels-Alder reactivity and synthetic applications for [b]annellated indoles
1991
Abstract The Diels-Alder reactivity of in situ generated N -benzoylindole-2,3-quinodimethane has been expanded considerably to include reactions with carbon- and hetero-dienophiles which furnish a variety of [ b ]annellated indoles as well as functionalized and annellated carbazoles. The frontier molecular orbital theory was found to be a useful model for the prediction of the experimental results under consideration of reactivity aspects.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of 5-Substituted 2,3-Dihydrobenzofurans in a One-Pot Oxidation/Cyclization Reaction.
2012
The oxidation of N-protected p-aminophenol derivatives to quinone imides is combined with cycloaddition towards azadiene (II) in a one-pot reaction to give dihydrobenzofuran derivatives in moderate to good yields.
Long lived photoinduced charges in donor-acceptor anthraquinone substituted thiophene copolymers
2006
The photoinduced charge-transfer properties of a series of polyalkylthiophene copolymers, carrying anthraquinone substituents covalently linked to the conjugated backbone, have been studied in the solid state by photoinduced absorption (PA) and light-induced electron spin resonance (LESR) spectroscopy. The measurements indicate the formation of metastable charges arising from the photoinduced electron transfer from the polythiophene backbone to the anthraquinone moieties. At low temperatures (below 200 K), long-lived persistent charges are formed, exhibiting lifetimes that extend for several minutes; their recombination kinetics has been studied by following the formation and decay of the P…
Negative pressure cavitation-microwave assisted preparation of extract of Pyrola incarnata Fisch. rich in hyperin, 2'-O-galloylhyperin and chimaphili…
2013
Abstract A novel and effective extraction method, namely negative pressure cavitation-microwave assisted extraction technique (NMAE), was developed for the preparation of extracts of Pyrola incarnata Fisch., which are rich in the main constituents hyperin, 2′-O-galloylhyperin and chimaphilin. Single factor experiments and Box–Behnken design (BBD) were combined with a response surface methodology to examine factors affecting extraction. Maximum extraction yields of hyperin, 2′-O-galloylhyperin and chimaphilin (1.339 ± 0.029, 4.831 ± 0.117 and 0.329 ± 0.011 mg/g, respectively) were achieved under the following optimised conditions: 700 W microwave power, 50 °C extraction temperature, 30:1 mL/…
In Vitro and In Silico Studies of Two 1,4-Naphthoquinones and Their Topical Formulation in Bigels.
2021
Background: 1,4-Naphthoquinones (1,4-NQs) are secondary plant metabolites with numerous biological activities. 1,4-NQs display low water solubility and poor bioavailability. Bigels are a new technology with great potential, which are designated as drug delivery systems. Biphasic bigels consisting of solid and liquid components represent suitable formulations improving diffusion and bioavailability of NQs into the skin. Objective: We evaluated the in silico and in vitro activity of 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (M1) and 2,3-dichloro-5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (M2) on elastase and assessed their cytotoxicity towards COLO38 melanoma cells. The 1,4-NQs were loaded into bigels for topi…
Determination of hydroquinone and metal in photographic developer by reversed-phase ion-pair chromatography with amperometric detection
1988
Abstract Sodium 1-heptanesulphonate is used as an ion-pair reagent for the chromatographic separation of the two developing agents on a phenylsilica micro-column, with amperometric detection at an applied potential of + 0.75 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). No pretreatment of the developer is necessary. Linear calibration graphs were obtained in the range 10 −5 -1.5 × 10 −4 M.

Kinetic-Spectrophotometric Determination of Primary and Secondary Amines by Reaction with 1-2 Naphthoquinone-4-Sulphonate.
1994
Abstract A kinetic-spectrophotometric method for the determination of primary and secondary amines is described. It is based on the coloured reaction of these amines with sodium 1,2 Naphthoquinone 4-sulphonate (NQS) in the presence of a non-ionic surfactant. For each determination the optimum conditions were studied and found to be as follows: pH 10.5. Carbonate-bicarbonate buffer 0.1M, Triton X-100 0.1%, Temperature 45°C, and NQS 6.4 × 10−3 M and interval of time 45–180s at wavelength 490 nm. The parameters used for the quantitative determinations are the reaction rate and the increase in the absorbance of the kinetic curves. This procedure has been applied to the determination of ephedrin…
