Promoting antihepatocellular carcinoma activity against human HepG2 cells via pyridine substituted palladium complexes: in vitro evaluation and QSAR studies.

Bis(4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine)dichloropalladium(II), [PdClL], bis(2-amino-5-bromopyridine)dichloropalladium(II), [PdClL], bis(2,4-dimethylpyridine)dichloropalladium(II), [PdClL], bis(3,4-dimethylpyridine)dichloropalladium(II), [PdClL] were prepared. The spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR and H-NMR, C-NMR) were used to characterize the compounds. Theoretical calculations were used to validate the experimental results.

Development of a safety protocol for training and using SARS-CoV-2 detection dogs: A pilot study.

Medical detection dogs have potential to be used to screen asymptomatic patients in crowded areas at risk of epidemics such as the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, the fact that SARS-CoV-2 detection dogs are in direct contact with infected people or materials raises important concerns due to the zoonotic potential of the virus. No study has yet recommended a safety protocol to ensure the health of SARS- CoV-2 detection dogs during training and working in public areas.

Novel benzoylthiourea derivatives had differential anti-inflammatory photodynamic therapy potentials on in vitro stimulated mammalian macrophages.

Novel benzoylthioureas, N-((5-chloropyridin-2yl)carbamothioyl)benzamide, (HL), N-((2-chloropyridin-3yl)carbamothioyl)benzamide, (HL), N-((5-bromopyridin-2yl)carbamothioyl)benzamide, (HL) and N-(Naphthalene-1-yl(phenyl)carbamothioyl)benzamide, (HL), were synthesized. Their characterizations were made by FT-IR,H NMR and C NMR spectrophotometric analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements were conducted to determine the crystal structure of HL and HL.

Synergetic effects of Fe doped spinel LiTiO nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide for high surface electrode hybrid supercapacitors.

In this work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) based electrode materials were developed to achieve a hybrid supercapacitor (SC) function. Therefore, several synthesis methods were developed to prepare a cost effective and environmentally friendly rGO. Additionally, to maintain the high surface area, spinel lithium titanate (sLTO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and deposited on the rGO surface to inhibit the restacking of the rGO layers on graphite.

Green Nanotechnology for Synthesis and characterization of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) nanoparticles for sustained bortezomib release using supercritical CO assisted particle formation combined with electrodeposition.

Carbon dioxide assisted particle formation combined with electrospraying using supercritical CO (scCO) as an aid (Carbon Dioxide Assisted Nebulization-Electrodeposition, CAN-ED) was used to produce Bortezomib loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) P(3HB-co-3HHx) nanoparticles for sustained release. The morphology and structure of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated by SEM, TEM and FT-IR spectroscopy. Average diameter of particles obtained was 155nm and the average core sizes of P(3HB-co-3HHx) nanoparticles were between 6 and 13nm.

4-Chloro-N-[N-(6-methyl-2-pyrid-yl)car-bamo-thio-yl]benzamide.

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClN(3)OS, the short exocyclic N-C bond lengths indicate resonance in the thiourea part of the mol-ecule. The title compound is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which results in the formation of a six-membered ring. In addition, it shows a synperiplanar conformation between the thio-carbonyl group and the pyridine group.
