Sequestering ability of polyaminopolycarboxylic ligands towards dioxouranium(VI) cation

2006

Abstract In the present paper, some results of an investigation (at t = 25 °C by potentiometry, ISE-H+ glass electrode) on the sequestering ability of five different polyaminopolycarboxylic ligands [Nitrilotriacetate (NTA), ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (EDTA), ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (EGTA), diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetate (DTPA), triethylenetetraamine-N,N,N′,N″,N′′′,N′′′-hexaacetate (TTHA)] towards dioxouranium(VI) cation in sodium chloride aqueous solutions, at I = 0.7 mol L−1 are reported. Calculations performed on potentiometric data gave evidence of the formation of the following species (log β in parenthesis): UO2(NTA)H0 (12…

Weak aurophilic interactions in a series of Au(III) double salts.

2015

In this work, several new examples of rare AuIII⋯AuIII aurophilic contacts are reported. A series of gold(III) double salts and complexes, viz. [AuX2(L)][AuX4] (L = 2,2′-bipyridyl, X = Cl 1, Br 2; L = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, X = Cl 3, Br 4; L = 2,2′-dipyridylamine, X = Cl 5, Br 6), [AuX3(biq)] (biq = 2,2′-biquinoline, X = Cl 7, Br 8), [LH][AuX4] (L = 2,2′-bipyridyl, X = Cl 9; L = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, X = Cl 12; L = 2,2′-dipyridylamine, X = Cl 14, Br 15; L = 2,2′-biquinoline, X = Cl 17, Br 18), [AuBr2(bpy)]2[AuBr4][AuBr2] 10, [AuCl2(bpm)][AuCl2] 11, (bpmH)2[AuBr4][AuBr2] 13, and (dpaH)[AuBr2] 16 (1, 2, and 7 were reported earlier) was synthesized by coordination of a particular ligand to the AuIII …

Melanoma cells release extracellular vesicles which contain RNA-binding proteins able to bind the mRNA encoding histone H1°

2015

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by most prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; tumour cells, however, release much higher amounts of EVs, which contain cancer-specific proteins and RNAs. Molecules carried by EVs are captured by surrounding cells, which then undergo profound phenotypic modifications. G26/24 oligodendroglioma cells release, for example, EVs containing FasL and TRAIL, which induce apoptosis in rat cortical neurons and astrocytes in culture. By metabolic labelling of cells, EV-mediated horizontal transfer of radioactive proteins was clearly demonstrated. Among the proteins present in EVs produced by oligodendroglioma cells, extracellular matrix remodelling proteases, and t…

Kinetic and equilibrium study for Pd(II) removal from aqueous solution by sorption onto calcium alginate gel beads

2013

The more and more increasing use of catalytic converters to reduce the dangerous NOx and CO emission in the atmosphere by vehicle traffic produces a corresponding increase of palladium in the environment [1]. Among the so-called “platinum group Elements” (PGE), elemental palladium seems to be the most hazardous one because it can be easily and quickly oxidized to palladium(II) when put in contact with soil. The presence of palladium oxidized form is of great concern owing to its recognized toxicity towards plants, animals and humans. Therefore, as for the classical “heavy metals”, a removal of this element from the environment is needed and a subsequent recovery for its potential re-use is …

Synthesis and chemical characterization of CuII, NiII and ZnII complexes of 3,5-bis(20-pyridyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole and 3-(20-pyridyl)5-(phenyl)-1,2,4-o…

The synthesis and structural characterization of NiII, CuII and ZnII complexes of two chelating 1,2, 4-oxadiazole ligands, namely 3,5-bis(20-pyridyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (bipyOXA) and 3-(20-pyridyl)5- (phenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazole (pyOXA), is here reported. The formed hexacoordinated metal complexes are [M(bipyOXA)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 and [M(pyOXA)2(ClO4)2], respectively (M = Ni, Cu, Zn). X-ray crystallography, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and C, N, H elemental analysis data concord in attributing them an octahedral coordination geometry. The two coordinated pyOXA ligands assume a trans coplanar disposition, while the two bipyOXA ligands are not. The latter result is a possible consequence of the format…

Design of copper(II) complexes as potential anticancer prodrugs

The fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) are tyrosine kinases that are present in many types of endothelial and tumor cells and play an important role in cell growth, survival, and migration as well as in maintaining tumor angiogenesis (1). FGFR genetic alterations are frequently observed in cancer, suggesting that FGFR inhibition may be a promising therapy in patients harboring these lesions (2). In particular, molecules with structural properties similar to Ponatinib, a known inhibitor of FGFR, that shows a selective interaction for the ATP binding site of the isoform 4 of these receptors (FGFR4), are being considered. Molecular modeling studies have been conducted to design novel po…
