Sialic Acid-Targeted Ru(II)/Ir(III)/Re(I) Complexes for Ferroptosis Induction in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.

Ferroptosis has been recognized as an iron-based nonapoptotic-regulated cell death process. In the quest of resisting the unyielding vehemence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), herein we have showcased the ferroptosis-inducing heteroleptic [], [], and [] complexes, enabling them to selectively target "sialic acid", an overexpressed cancer cell-surface marker. The open-circuit potential (OCP) measurements in live cancer cells revealed the specific interaction between TNBC and the complexes, whereas control experiments with normal cells did not exhibit such interactions.

Synthesis of Cu (II) and Zn (II) Complexes of a Quinoline Based Flexible Amide Receptor as Fluorescent Probe for Dihydrogen Phosphate and Hydrogen Sulphate and Their Antibacterial Activity.

A novel 8-hydroxy quinoline-derived amide receptor, in conjunction with its Cu (II) and Zn (II) complexes, has been strategically developed to function as remarkably efficient fluorescent receptors with a distinct capability for anion sensing. The comprehensive characterization of the synthesized compounds were achieved through UV-Vis, IR, NMR, and HRMS spectroscopic techniques. Among the Cu (II) and Zn (II) complexes, the latter exhibits superior selectivity for anions, specifically dihydrogen phosphate and hydrogen sulfate, as their tetrabutylammonium salts in a 9:1 acetonitrile-water (v/v) mixture.

β-Cyclodextrin-Stabilized Biosynthesis Nanozyme for Dual Enzyme Mimicking and Fenton Reaction with a High Potential Anticancer Agent.

The myth of inactivity of inorganic materials in a biological system breaks down by the discovery of nanozymes. From this time, the nanozyme has attracted huge attention for its high durability, cost-effective production, and easy storage over the natural enzyme. Moreover, the multienzyme-mimicking activity of nanozymes can regulate the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an intercellular system.

Recognition of carboxylate anions and carboxylic acids by selenium-based new chromogenic fluorescent sensor: a remarkable fluorescence enhancement of hindered carboxylates.

A selenium metal-based new fluorescence sensor 5-pivaloylamino-1,2,5-selenodiazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-7-(6H)-one (receptor 1) has been reported for the recognition of monocarboxylic acids and carboxylate anions both by UV-vis and fluorescence methods. Receptor 1 recognizes carboxylate anions more than monocarboxylic acids and it is a selective sensor for carboxylates with specially hindered carboxylate anions. The changes of fluorescence intensity are remarkably enhanced with red shift in presence of bulky carboxylate anions.

N-[6-(Dibromo-meth-yl)-2-pyrid-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide.

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(11)H(14)Br(2)N(2)O, the dimethyl-propionamide substituent is twisted slightly with respect to the pyridine ring, the inter-planar angle being 12.3 (2)°. The dibromo-methyl group is orientated in such a way that the two Br atoms are tilted away from the pyridine ring.

1,2-Di-2-quinolylethene.

The title compound, C(20)H(14)N(2), comprises two crystallographically independent centrosymmetric mol-ecules (A and B) with different conformations due to the disorder of molecule B. The whole of mol-ecule B is disordered over two sets of positions, corresponding to a 180° rotation of the molecule, with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.780 (6):0.

2-(7-Hydr-oxy-2-naphth-yloxy)-N-(6-methyl-2-pyrid-yl)acetamide.

In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)O(3), the dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the pyridyl ring is 18.1 (8)°. The mol-ecules are inter-connected via C-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

A second monoclinic polymorph of 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-pyrimidine.

The title chloro-substituted 2-amino-pyrimidine, C(4)H(3)Cl(2)N(3), is a second monoclinic polymorph of this compound which crystallizes in the space group C2/c. The structure was previously reported [Clews & Cochran (1948 ▶). Acta Cryst.
