The structure of [V(eta5-C5H5)2(CH3C(O)CHC(O)CH3)](O3SCF3) (1) (=[VCp2(acac)](O3SCF3)), a dual-function anti-cancer agent with anti-angiogenic and anti-mitotic properties, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The geometry is well described as a pseudo-tetrahedral like structure with the centroids of the cyclopentadienyl rings and the two oxygen atoms of the acetylacetonate ring in the ancillary positions of the central vanadium (IV) atom. The bisector of the V(acac) fragment deviates from the C2 axis of the ligand framework by only 4 degrees, compared to a deviation of 7 degrees for the V(acac) fragment in the tetramethylethano-bridged vanadocene acetyl acetonate complex. Crystal data for 1: space group, P2(1)/c; a=7.5544(9) A, b=14.936(2) A, c=16.193(2) A, beta=102.901(2) degrees, V= 1781.0(4) A3; Z=4; R=0.0506 for 2310 reflections with I> 2sigma(I). This report also details the electron paramagnetic resonance, UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrochemical properties and the biological activity profile of this potent anti-cancer agent.

The biological properties of isofetamid, a new fungicide, were examined using pot tests in a greenhouse. In addition, we investigated the practical effects of isofetamid in field trials. In greenhouse pot tests, isofetamid exhibited high preventive efficacy against cucumber gray mold, powdery mildew, Corynespora leaf spot, and stem rot even at low concentrations.

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging modality that can address longstanding technological challenges encountered with magnetic particle hyperthermia (MPH) cancer therapy. MPI is a tracer technology compatible with MPH for which magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) provide signal for MPI and heat for MPH. Identifying whether a specific MNP formulation is suitable for both modalities is essential for clinical implementation.

Introduction: Owing to its high prevalence, colossal potential of chemoresistance, metastasis, and relapse, breast cancer (BC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related fatalities in women. Several treatments (eg, chemotherapy, surgery, radiations, hormonal therapy, etc.) are conventionally prescribed for the treatment of BC; however, these are associated with serious systemic aftermaths.

Respiratory infection by influenza A virus (IAV) is known to cause systemic inflammation, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairment. We previously found that experimental infection with IAV affected oligodendrocyte homeostasis, which was associated with altered expression of genes involved in myelin maintenance as well as the lipidome. In this study, we sought to determine if clemastine, an antihistamine with myelin promoting properties, could reverse the effects of IAV on oligodendrocyte (OL) specific genes, as well as mitigate infection-induced cognitive impairment.
