Synthesis and crystal structure of a new chiral α-amino-oxime nickel(II) complex.

A dinuclear nickel complex with ()-limonene based amino-oxime ligand has been isolated and its crystal structure determined. The resolved structure of dichloridobis-{(2,5)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-2-[(pyridin-2-yl)methyl-amino]-cyclo-hexan-1-one oxime}dinickel(II), [NiCl(CHClNO)], at 100 K has monoclinic (2) symmetry. The two Ni ions in the dinuclear complex are each coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by three nitro-gen atoms, a terminal chloride and two μ bridging chlorides.

Water-Soluble Ruthenium (II) Complex Derived From Optically Pure Limonene and Its Microencapsulation Are Efficient Tools Against Bacterial Food Pathogen Biofilms: , , , and .

Bioactive aminooxime ligands based on optically pure (R)-limonene have been synthesized in two steps. Their ruthenium (II) cationic water-soluble complex was prepared by a reaction between dichloro (para-cymene) ruthenium (II) dimers and aminooxime ligands in a 1:2 molar ratio. Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of the synthetized complex were assessed against , , , and The results revealed that the ruthenium (II) complex has higher antibacterial and antibiofilm activities in comparison with free ligands or the enantiopure (R)-limonene.

Rare and unusual case of anti-factor XI antibodies in patient with plasma cell leukemia.

Background: The acquired inhibitors of coagulation have been observed in very rare cases of monoclonal gammopathies. We report a very rare case of anti-factor XI antibodies in patient with plasma cell leukemia (PCL).

Case Presentation: This is a 59-year-old male patient without pathological history, admitted to the nephrology department for management of renal insufficiency and anemia syndrome.

Chiral ligands derived from monoterpenes: application in the synthesis of optically pure secondary alcohols via asymmetric catalysis.

The preparation of optically pure secondary alcohols in the presence of catalysts based on chiral ligands derived from monoterpenes, such as pinenes, limonenes and carenes, is reviewed. A wide variety of these ligands has been synthesized and used in several catalytic reactions, including hydrogen transfer, C-C bond formation via addition of organozinc compounds to aldehydes, hydrosilylation, and oxazaborolidine reduction, leading to high activities and enantioselectivities.

[Late pneumomediastinum revealed by acute pulmonary edema in hemodialysis].

Central venous catheterization occupies an important place in the treatment of end stage renal disease pending the creation of an arteriovenous fistula. However, this procedure is not devoid of complications. We report a case of late pneumomediastinum revealed by an acute pulmonary edema in a young patient on hemodialysis, and we discuss its characteristics.

α-Amino-oximes based on optically pure limonene: a new ligands family for ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.

A new family of bifunctional, optically pure α-amino-oxime ligands based on (R)-limonene has been synthesized and used as chiral inducers for enantioselective hydrogen transfer reactions on various ketones in the presence of ruthenium catalysts. The X-ray structures of Ru-amino-oxime complexes are also described.

Human muscle satellite cells as targets of Chikungunya virus infection.

Background: Chikungunya (CHIK) virus is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus that causes in humans an acute infection characterised by fever, polyarthralgia, head-ache, and myalgia. Since 2005, the emergence of CHIK virus was associated with an unprecedented magnitude outbreak of CHIK disease in the Indian Ocean. Clinically, this outbreak was characterized by invalidating poly-arthralgia, with myalgia being reported in 97.
