Simple avarone mimetics as selective agents against multidrug resistant cancer cells
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Paris, 2016)
In this work, synthesis of alkylamino and aralkylamino derivatives of sesquiterpene quinone avarone and its model compound tert-butylquinone was described. For all obtained derivatives biological activity was studied. ...
Influence of annealing temperature on sensitisation behaviour and corrosion properties of an Al-6.8wt% Mg alloy
(Wiley, 2016)
Influence of annealing temperature on beta-(Al3Mg2) phase precipitation and corrosion properties of sensitised Al-6.8wt% Mg alloy is investigated. Sensitisation of specimens annealed at 320 degrees C results in IGC and SCC ...
Shape evolution of carbon supported Pt nanoparticles: From synthesis to application
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this research, a water-in-oil microemulsion method with HCl as a capping agent was applied to synthesize carbon supported Pt catalysts. Varying the concentration of HCl caused changes in the shape of obtained nanoparticles, ...
Ru layers electrodeposited onto highly stable Ti2AlC substrates as cathodes for hydrogen evolution in sulfuric acid solutions
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this work, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was studied on Ru coated Ti2AlC electrodes in 1.0 mol dm(-3) H2SO4 at 25 degrees C. Ti2AlC was found to be a highly stable substrate in sulfuric acid solutions due to the ...
Structural differences in diarylheptanoids analogues from Alnus viridis and Alnus glutinosa influence their activity and selectivity towards cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2016)
Diarylheptanoids represent a group of plant secondary metabolites that possess multiple biological properties and are increasingly recognized for their therapeutic potential. A comparative study was performed on structurally ...
Cell cycle, apoptosis, cellular uptake and whole-transcriptome microarray gene expression analysis of HeLa cells treated with a ruthenium(II)-arene complex with an isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ligand
(Elsevier, 2016)
Ruthenium(II)-arene complexes are promising drug candidates for the therapy of solid tumors. In previous work, seven new compounds of the general formula [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(L1-7)Cl] were synthesized and characterized, ...
C-H/O Interactions of Aromatic CH Donors within Proteins: A Crystallographic Study
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)
C-H/O interactions of aromatic C-H donors within proteins have been studied by analyzing the data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The C-H/O interactions were studied between aromatic donors; phenylalanine, tyrosine, and ...
An ab initio study of SbH2 and BiH2: The Renner effect, spin-orbit coupling, local mode vibrations and rovibronic energy level clustering in SbH2
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2016)
We present the results of ab initio calculations for the lower electronic states of the Group 15 (pnictogen) dihydrides, SbH2 and BiH2. For each of these molecules the two lowest electronic states become degenerate at ...
Resolving the origin of the multimode Jahn-Teller effect in metallophthalocyanines
(Royal Soc Chemistry, Cambridge, 2016)
A detailed Density Functional Theory (DFT) analysis was performed in order to study the multimode Jahn-Teller (JT) problem in the electronic ground state of manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc). A comparison with the magnesium ...
Multivariate assessment of lipophilicity scales-computational and reversed phase thin-layer chromatographic indices
(Elsevier, 2016)
Needs for fast, yet reliable means of assessing the lipophilicities of diverse compounds resulted in the development of various in silico and chromatographic approaches that are faster, cheaper, and greener compared to the ...
