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.
Probing the electronic state of a single coronene molecule by the emission from proximate fluorophores.
2012
We measured electronic transitions of the 2D graphene-type molecule hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) at the single-molecule level. The large intersystem crossing rate and long triplet state lifetime in the range of seconds are prohibitive for direct single-molecule observation. By covalently coupling fluorescent acceptor molecules (perylenecarboximide, PMI) to HBC, efficient singlet energy transfer gives rise to strong PMI fluorescence. Confocal single-molecule fluorescence microscopy with two excitation colours matching the HBC and PMI transition frequencies, respectively, was conducted. Single HBC-6PMI molecules were readily observed via the PMI emission. It was found that after selectiv…
A Classical Synthesis of the Collagen-like Peptides with the Sequence Z(GlyProPro)nOBut and their characterization with circular dichroism and ultrac…
1975
Oligopeptides with the sequence Z(GlyProPro)nOBut (n = 3–7) were synthesized along a clasical pathway. Generally long fragments were condensed in order to allow an easy separation of the products from the reactants. It is established by molecular weight determination and measurements of circular dichroism that the peptides form the collagen-like triple helix in methanol and that they assume the random coil conformation in dilute acetic acid. The circular dichroism spectra agree reasonably well with the corresponding spectra for (ProProGly)10 which was obtained by solid phase synthesis in another laboratory.
Design of chiral magnets: Cyanide-bridged bimetallic assemblies based on cyclohexane-1,2-diamine
2003
Abstract Four magnetic compounds based on chiral ligands trans-(1S,2S)-chxn and trans-(1R,2R)-chxn (chxn: cyclohexane-1,2-diamine), [Ni(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (1), [Ni(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (2), [Cu(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (3) and [Cu(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (4), are reported. The four compounds are chiral, as confirmed by X-ray analyses and circular dichroism measurements. From the magnetic point of view, 1 and 2 behave as ferromagnets, whereas 3 and 4 show a paramagnetic behavior.
Cloning, purification, and nucleotide-binding traits of the catalytic subunit A of the V1VO ATPase from Aedes albopictus.
2007
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is commonly infected by the gregarine parasite Ascogregarina taiwanensis, which develops extracellularly in the midgut of infected larvae. The intracellular trophozoites are usually confined within a parasitophorous vacuole, whose acidification is generated and controlled by the V(1)V(O) ATPase. This proton pump is driven by ATP hydrolysis, catalyzed inside the major subunit A. The subunit A encoding gene of the Aedes albopictus V(1)V(O) ATPase was cloned in pET9d1-His(3) and the recombinant protein, expressed in the Escherichia coli Rosetta 2 (DE3) strain, purified by immobilized metal affinity- and ion-exchange chromatography. The purified prote…
PO-344 miR-302b as adjuvant therapeutic tool to improve chemotherapy efficacy in human triple negative breast cancer
2018
Introduction MiRNAs are a class of non-coding regulatory RNAs playing key roles in different biological processes including cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15%–20% of all breast cancer cases, with the worst outcome of all subtypes. For TNBC, still lacking targeted therapies, the only therapeutic option is chemotherapy. MiRNAs can modulate chemotherapy response by affecting DNA repair, cell cycle progression, apoptosis and also tumour microenvironment. Macrophages constitute a major component of the immune microenvironment of cancer and pro-tumour M2 macrophages have been associated with response to chemotherapeutic treatments. Here, we investigated the potential of…
The application of phospholipid removal columns and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry for quantificati…
2016
In this study a robust and sensitive method based on a proposed sample purification procedure, using zirconia-coated Phree™ columns and analysis by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry are presented for the assessment of multi-class antibiotics in farmed fish species. The sample preparation procedure benefited from combined precipitation of proteins and selective removal of phospholipids by Phree™ columns, resulting in a high sensitivity of the method (LOQ 0.3-9mgkg(-1)). The in-house validation results (precision, repeatability, decision limit CCα, detection capability CCβ, etc.) indicate that the elaborated method is fully suitable f…
Almotriptan: meeting today’s needs in acute migraine treatment
2007
Migraine is a common disorder associated with considerable individual and economic burden. Triptans are recommended for the treatment of migraine of any severity in patients who have failed to gain adequate relief with nonspecific medication; early transition to triptans avoids prolonged morbidity in patients failing to respond to nonspecific medications. There is evidence that early intervention therapy with oral formulations in migraine, soon after the onset of an attack and when pain is still mild, improves efficacy. Seven different triptans are currently marketed, with differing pharmacologic, efficacy and tolerability profiles. Almotriptan has many positive features, which include rigo…
Prefix Stripping Re-Re-Revisited: MEG Investigations of Morphological Decomposition and Recomposition
2019
We revisit a long-standing question in the psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic literature on comprehending morphologically complex words: are prefixes and suffixes processed using the same cognitive mechanisms? Recent work using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) to uncover the dynamic temporal and spatial responses evoked by visually presented complex suffixed single words provide us with a comprehensive picture of morphological processing in the brain, from early, form-based decomposition, through lexical access, grammatically constrained recomposition, and semantic interpretation. In the present study, we find that MEG responses to prefixed words reveal interesting early differences in the la…
AX-PET: Concept, proof of principle and first results with phantoms
2010
AX-PET is a novel PET concept based on long crystals axially arranged and orthogonal Wavelength shifter (WLS) strips, both individually readout by Geiger-mode Avalanche Photo Diodes (G-APD). Its design was conceived in order to reduce the parallax error and simultaneously improve spatial resolution and sensitivity. The assessment of the AX-PET concept and potential was carried out through a set of measurements comprising individual module characterizations and scans in coincidence mode of point-like and extended sources. The estimated energy and spatial resolutions from point-like measurements are R FWHM =11.6% (at 511 keV) and 1.7–1.9 mm (FWHM) respectively as measured with point-like sour…
