G-quadruplexes (G4s) are noncanonical secondary structures that fold within guanine (G) rich strands of regulatory genomic regions. Recent evidences suggest their intimate involvement in important biological processes such as telomere maintenance, end-capping and protection, chromosome stability, gene expression, viral integration, and recombination. this website Mechanistic details of how and why G4 structures influence biological function indicate a rationale for treating G4s as emerging molecular targets for future therapeutics. In other words, the structural heterogeneity with well-defined binding sites, thermal stability and abundance of G4s in telomeres, oncogene promoter regions, and viral genomes make G4s attractive targets for small molecules, aimed to selectively recognize them over all other nucleic acids structures, particularly duplex forms that are most abundant in the genome. Herein, a critical survey of well-characterized G4-interactive ligands as potential tools in anti-cancer and antiviral therapies is presented. Effects that these ligands selectively exert in vitro and in vivo models are summarized. Unique ligands involved in specific G4 recognition are put forward. A key question, how to design and develop new G4 specific ligands that conform to the structural and physicochemical requirements for optimal biological activity, is discussed by considering both remarkable advances over the last few years and our recent contributions.Since arsenic (As) exposure is largely due to geochemical contamination, this study focused on the remediated area of Santana do Morro, a district of Santa Bárbara, Minas Gerais, Brazil, which was previously contaminated with As due to gold mining. Total As concentrations in sediment, soil and plants were determined, next to As species, anionic arsenic compounds As(III), As(V), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), in plants samples. Total As concentrations in soil and sediments were slightly elevated (16-18 µg g-1) and most of the plants contained low levels of As ( less then 1 µg g-1). The exception was a native plant Eleocharis geniculata (L.) which contained elevated levels of As (4 µg g-1). link2 The exposure of this plant to As under controlled conditions (hydroponics) indicated its possible tolerance to elevated As levels and suggesting its potential use in phytomonitoring of As-contaminated sites. This plant is able to metabolize arsenate to arsenite and contained MMA and DMA, both in its natural habitat and under controlled conditions.Phase equilibria in the Ag2Te-PbTe-Sb2Te3 system were experimentally investigated by means of differential thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction techniques and electromotive force (EMF) measurement method. A liquidus surface projection of the system, 750 K and 300 K isothermal sections, as well as five vertical sections of the phase diagram, were constructed. The primary crystallization fields of phases and homogeneity range of phases were also determined. The character and temperature of the various nonvariant and monovariant equilibria were identified. The studied sys-tem is characterized by the formation of a wide continuous band of a high-temperature cubic structured solid solution (?-phase) between PbTe and Ag1-xSb1 + xTe2 + x intermediate phase. The partial molar thermodynamic functions of lead telluride in alloys and standard integral thermodynamic functions of the ?-solid solutions along the 2PbTe-"AgSbTe2" section were calculated based on the EMF measurements results.New dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes with the formula [MoO2L(MeOH)], derived from N'-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L1) and N'-(3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methylbenzohydrazide (H2L2) were prepared. this website Crystal and molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray dif-fraction method. link2 Both complexes were further characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR spectra. Single crystal X-ray structural studies indicate that the hydrazones L1 and L2 coordinate to the MoO2 cores through the enolate oxygen, phenolate oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. The Mo atoms in both complexes are in octahedral coordination. Catalytic properties for epoxidation of styrene by the complexes using PhIO and NaOCl as oxidant have been studied.This study examines the effects of substituents and hydrogen bonding, orientations of imine linkage on the behavior of benzylidene aniline compounds as liquid crystals (LC). Compounds 4-carboxy benzylidene-4-X-aniline (X = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, OCH3) 1a-6a were synthesized by the reaction of aniline and its substituted derivatives with 4-formylbenzoic acid. this website Compounds 4-X-benzylidene-4-carboxy aniline (X = H, F, Cl, Br, CH3, OCH3) 1b-6b were synthesized by the reaction of benzaldehyde and its substituted derivatives with 4-aminobenzoic acid using absolute ethanol as the solvent. Synthesized compounds were characterized by FT IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, liquid crystal properties were inves-tigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) techniques. Based on the mesomorphic properties, it was proven that the compounds 2b-4b are dimorphic exhibiting a smectic and nematic phase, compounds 5b, 6b are monomorphic exhibiting a nematic phase, while compounds 1a-6a and 1b have not shown any mesophase. For compounds 1a-6a hydrogen bonding and reversing imine linkage (in comparison with compounds 1b-6b) caused the absence of their mesomorphic properties.Phenserine, posiphen, tolserine and cymserine and its derivatives are experimental Alzheimer's disease drugs that contain a phenyl phenylcarbamate moiety that is responsible for their anti-Alzheimer activities. We have developed a simple (3 steps) and effective (overall yields 76-90%) method for preparing 3- and 4-((phenylcarbamoyl)oxy)benzoic acids which can be reacted with amines to produce phenyl phenylcarbamate moiety containing amides as new potential anti-Alzheimer disease drugs. The synthesized carboxylic acids are thus important building blocks with potential use in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.The electrochemical behavior of Sulfaclozine Sodium (SLC) was studied at a bare and sephadex-modified carbon paste electrodes by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) showed a well-defined irreversible oxidation peak at 0.94 V in Britton- Robinson buffer pH 7.0. The strong affinity of SLC to sephadex allowed accumulation of SLC at the surface of electrode and thus higher electrochemical sensitivity to SLC. The influence of sephadex loading, the pH of the solution and the scan rate on the peak current was studied. A linear calibration curve covering the concentration range from 0.005 to 1 mM was obtained using SWV. The method was successfully applied for the determination of SLC in the veterinary pharmaceutical formulations with satisfactory accuracy and precision.The reactions of Ni(OAc)2 2H2O with Schiff base ligands 5-bromo-2-((cyclopentylimino)methyl)phenol (HL1) and 5-bromo-2-(((2-(isopropylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (HL2) in methanol afforded two discrete trinuclear com-plexes [Ni3(L1)2(?2-?1?1-OAc)2(DMF)2(BrSal)2] (1) and [Ni3(L2)2(?2-?1?1-OAc)2(?2-?2?1-OAc)2] (2), where BrSal is the monoanionic form of 4-bromosalicylaldehyde. link2 link3 The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography. In both com-plexes, the nickel atoms are in octahedral coordination geometries. The L1 ligand coordinates to the nickel atoms through the phenolate O and imino N atoms, and the L2 ligand coordinates to the nickel atoms through the phenolate O, imino N and amino N atoms. The antimicrobial activities of the complexes were assayed.In this contribution, based-on the structurally confirmed pentacyanometallate (PPh4)2[Fe(CN)5(imidazole)]·(imidazole)·H2O (1) and the manganese compounds [Mn(L)(H2O)2]ClO4 (L = N,N-ethylenebis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminate) or [Mn(MAC)(H2O)Cl]ClO4 (MAC = 2,13-dimethyl-3,6,9,12,18-pentaazabicyclo-[12.3.1]octadeca-1(18),2,12,14,16-pentaene), two new cyanide-bridged bimetallic FeIII-MnIII/II complexes [Mn(L)(H2O)]3[Fe(CN)5(imidazole)](ClO4) (2) and [Mn(MAC)][Fe(CN)5(imidazole)]·CH3OHn (3) were successfully synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination. Single X-ray diffraction analysis reveals the cationic FeMn3 tetranuclear entity for complex 2, which can be further assembled into supramolecular 1D ladder-like double chain by the strong intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions. For complex 3, it can be structurally characterized as neutral one-dimensional linear single infinite chain. link3 The magnetic investigations discover the ferromagnetic coupling between the FeIII-MnIII units in complex 2 and the antiferromagnetic coupling in complex 3 between the FeIII-MnII units through the bridging cyanide group, respectively.Supported molybdic acid on nano-Fe3O4@TiO2 (Fe3O4@TiO2@(CH2)3OMoO3H) has been successfully prepared, char-acterized and applied as a catalyst for the synthesis of sulfonamide containing coumarin moieties. The prepared Fe3O4nanoparticles by coprecipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions were treated with tetraethyl orthotitanate to obtain Fe3O4@TiO2. By anchoring 3-chloropropyltriethoxysilan on Fe3O4@TiO2 followed by reacting with molybdic acid, the desired catalyst was produced. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, EDS, FT-IR and VSM analysis. Fe3O4@TiO2@(CH2)3OMoO3H was used as a catalyst for the synthesis of sulfonamide containing coumarin moieties via a three-com-ponent reaction of aryl aldehydes, para-toluenesulfonamide and 4-hydroxycoumarin or 5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylcou-marin. The catalyst recovery test showed the catalyst is highly reusable without losing its activity.Analysis of anticancer drugs is very important and necessary for the correct administration of them in the human body. Electrochemical behavior of 6-thioguanine (6-TG) has been studied using a carbon paste electrode modified by 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (ionic liquid) (1E3MIBF4) and CuO nanoparticles (CuO/1E3MIBF4/ CPE). Using square wave voltammetry showed the linear relation between net anodic current and concentration of 6-TG in the range of 70 nmol L?1 to 520 ?mol L?1 6-TG with the detection limit of 20 nmol L?1 6-TG. The proposed modified electrode had excellent repeatability (RSD = 1.31%, n = 5) and long term stability (2.9% deviation in 25 days). The diffusion coefficient of 6-TG on the CuO/1E3MIBF4/CPE was found to be 1.54 × 10?5 cm2s?1 .The CuO/1E3MIBF4/ CPE was successfully applied for the determination of 6-TG in real samples. In addition, the anodic peaks of 6-TG and fluorouracil (5-FU) in their mixture can be well separated using CuO/1E3MIBF4/CPE and simultaneous determination of them was studied.Oxidative stress in the follicular fluid (FF) is thought to be responsible for the abnormal development of oocytes. In our study patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and tubal infertility factor (TIF), and healthy women with a male factor of infertility, were prospectively enrolled. From each patient, a sample of individual FF was collected from a dominant follicle. Concentration levels of TAS, 8-IP, 8-OHdG, and AMH were determined. In women with PCOS, we found significantly lower values of oxidative stress markers in the FF. 8-IP and TAS levels were lower in the FF of women with endometriosis. In women with TIF, we also found significantly lower values of all tested markers in the FF, except for 8-OHdG and AMH. link3 We wanted to see whether the biomarker measured in the FF in an individual diagnosis could predict a successfully obtained embryo from this particular follicle. The FF 8-OHdG result in PCOS patients stood out and proved to be a good predictive marker of matured and fertilized oocytes in these patients.
