Extended Assemblies of Ru(bpy)(CO)2X2 (X = Cl, Br, I) Molecules Linked by 1,4-Diiodotetrafluoro-Benzene (DITFB) Halogen Bond Donors
2019
The ruthenium carbonyl compounds, Ru(bpy)(CO)2X2 (X = Cl, Br or I) act as neutral halogen bond (XB) acceptors when co-crystallized with 1,4-diiodotetrafluoro-benzene (DITFB). The halogen bonding strength of the Ru-X&sdot
Redox-aktiiviset siltaavat ligandit lantanoidikomplekseissa
2017
Redox-aktiiviset siltaavat ligandit on mahdollista hapettaa tai pelkistää suhteellisen pysyviksi radikaaleiksi inertissä atmosfäärissä. Siltaavina ligandeina ne voivat koordinoitua kahden tai useamman metalli-ionin välille. Paramagneettiset siltaavat radikaaliligandit ja lantanoidit ovat lupaavia rakenneosia yksittäismolekyylimagneettien valmistuksessa, sillä radikaalien diffuusit spinorbitaalit voivat peittää lantanoidien 4f-orbitaaleja, jolloin muodostuu voimakas vaihtokytkentä lantanoidin ja radikaalin välille. Lantanoidikompleksien magneettisuus syntyy lantanoidi-ionin elektronien, spin-ratakytkennän ja kidekenttäympäristön vuorovaikutuksista ja siihen vaikuttaa ligandien ja metallin vä…
Microbiological Stability of Bio-Based Building Materials
2021
The aim of this paper was to study the microbiological stability of bio-based composite building materials, which are made using organic-rich lake sediments (further – sapropel) with lime and magnesium cement as binders and hemp shives as filler. The microbial stability properties of the obtained composite materials were investigated and compared to similar composites. Because of their high organic content, these materials are prone to biodegradation; therefore, they were coated with ALINA LIFE TM organoclay coating, which helps to extend the product life, reducing the rate of biodegradation compared to the biocides used in industry. The effect of the coating on the resistance to decay by t…
IL-12 Expands and Differentiates Human Vγ2Vδ2 T Effector Cells Producing Antimicrobial Cytokines and Inhibiting Intracellular Mycobacterial Growth
2019
While IL-12 plays a key role in differentiation of protective CD4+ Th1 response, little is known about mechanisms whereby IL-12 differentiates other T-cell populations. Published studies suggest that predominant Vγ2Vδ2 T cells in humans/nonhuman primates (NHP) are a fast-acting T-cell subset, with capacities to rapidly expand and produce Th1 and cytotoxic cytokines in response to phosphoantigen (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP) produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or others. However, whether IL-12 signaling pathway mediates fast-acting and Th1 or anti-microbial features of Vγ2Vδ2 T cells remains poorly defined. Here, we show that IL-12, but not other IL-12 fami…
Interleukin 10 restores lipopolysaccharide-induced alterations in synaptic plasticity probed by repetitive magnetic stimulation
2020
Systemic inflammation is associated with alterations in complex brain functions such as learning and memory. However, diagnostic approaches to functionally assess and quantify inflammation-associated alterations in synaptic plasticity are not well-established. In previous work, we demonstrated that bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation alters the ability of hippocampal neurons to express synaptic plasticity, i.e., the long-term potentiation (LTP) of excitatory neurotransmission. Here, we tested whether synaptic plasticity induced by repetitive magnetic stimulation (rMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique used in clinical practice, is affected by LPS-induc…
Evaluation of the efficacy of a new insecticide paint against malaria vectors
2015
La malaria continúa siendo un problema de salud pública global. Se calcula que en el mundo hay 3.300 millones de personas en 97 países y territorios que corren el riesgo de padecer el paludismo, y que para 1.200 millones ese riesgo es elevado (WHO, 2014). El control de la malaria a gran escala está altamente basado en al control del vector, principalmente mediante el uso de mosquiteras tratadas con insecticidas de larga duración (LLINs), y en menor medida, el Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario. Todos los tratamientos recomendados de LLINs y la mayoría del Rociamiento Residual Intradomiciliario se basan en el uso de piretroides. La creciente resistencia de los vectores de malaria a los p…
Rare‐earth cyclobutadienyl sandwich complexes: Synthesis, structure and dynamic magnetic properties
2018
The potassium cyclobutadienyl [K2{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}] (1) reacts with MCl3(THF)3.5 (M=Y, Dy) to give the first rare‐earth cyclobutadienyl complexes, that is, the complex anions [M{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}{η4‐C4(SiMe3)3‐κ‐(CH2SiMe2}]2−, (2M), as their dipotassium salts. The tuck‐in alkyl ligand in 2M is thought to form through deprotonation of the “squarocene” complexes [M{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}2]− by 1. Complex 2Dy is a single‐molecule magnet, but with prominent quantum tunneling. An anisotropy barrier of 323(22) cm−1 was determined for 2Dy in an applied field of 1 kOe, and magnetic hysteresis loops were observed up to 7 K. nonPeerReviewed
New Vinylogous Mannich-Type Reactions with Fluorinated Imines
2021
Los compuestos organofluorados juegan un papel relevante en química médica. Aproximadamente, el 25% de los fármacos que están actualmente en el mercado contienen al menos un átomo de flúor, lo que nos indica su extraordinaria importancia. Es un elemento de pequeño tamaño y alta electronegatividad, que una vez incorporado en la estructura del fármaco, mejora sus propiedades farmacocinéticas y fisicoquímicas, tales como la estabilidad metabólica o la lipofilia, lo que permite una mayor permeabilidad en las membranas celulares. Adicionalmente, la especie radioactiva de 18-F está emergiendo como un elemento clave en el diagnóstico por imagen, mediante la Tomografía de Emisión de Positrones (PET…
Lipid-Based Edible Films and Coatings
2009
The quality of food products depends on their organoleptic, nutritional, and microbiological properties, all of which are subject to dynamic changes during storage and distribution. Such changes are mainly due to interactions between foods and their surrounding environment or to migration between different components within a composite food.
