Porous Functionalized Covalent-Triazine Frameworks for Enhanced Adsorption Toward Polysulfides in Li-S Batteries and Organic Dyes.

The incorporation of functional building blocks to construct functionalized and highly porous covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) is essential to the emerging adsorptive-involved field. Herein, a series of amide functionalized CTFs (CTF-PO71) have been synthesized using a bottom-up strategy in which pigment PO71 with an amide group is employed as a monomer under ionothermal conditions with ZnCl as the solvent and catalyst. The pore structure can be controlled by the amount of ZnCl to monomer ratio.

Experiments suggesting extra-digestive effects of enteral pancreatic amylase and its peptides on glucose homeostasis in a pig model.

The studies presented were designed to highlight the impact of pancreatic enzymes on glycemic control and insulin response. Blood glucose and plasma insulin levels were monitored after intravenous, oral or direct gut glucose tolerance tests (GTT) in 6 pigs with an intact gastrointestinal tract and in 12 pigs following duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery. In the intact pigs, pancreatic enzymes (Creon®) given orally 1 h prior to the GTT, lowered the blood glucose levels during the oral and meal GTT and reduced the plasma insulin response during the intravenous and meal GTT.

Synthesis, spectral characterization of novel Pd(II), Pt(II) π-coordination compounds based on N-allylthioureas. Cytotoxic properties and DNA binding ability.

Four novel Pd and Pt mononuclear π-coordination compounds with general formula [M(HL)Cl], M=Pd, Pt have been synthesized by reaction of [PdCl], [PtCl] anions with N-allyl-4-morpholinethiocarboxamide (HL) and N-Allyl-N'-tert-butylthiourea (HL). All complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study and H, C NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxic, cytostatic and proapoptotic activities of compounds have been determined in vitro on HeLa cell line and compared with cisplatin as etalon drug.

Synthesis and crystal structure of -(4-chloro-phen-yl)-5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-]pyrimidin-2-amine.

The title compound, CHClN, was synthesized by the cyclization of 1-(4,6-di-methyl-pyrimidin-2-yl)-4-phenyl-thio-semicarbazide in the presence of Ni(NO). The mol-ecular structure of the compound is essentially planar. In the crystal, mol-ecules form dimers pairs of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the H atom of the exocyclic amino group and the N atom at the 4-position of the triazole ring.
