Trimethyl tin chloride (TMTC) is a highly toxic organotin compound that affects four main target organs: the brain, liver, immune system and skin. Exposure can occur by inhalation, ingestion or direct skin absorption. Trimethyl tin is but one of many hazardous substances with potentially serious health consequences to which individuals working in research laboratories may be exposed. We report a preventable case of TMTC exposure. Better understanding of the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) legislation and its applicability to the research laboratory situation would prevent such unnecessary exposure to hazardous substances.

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Health Sciences and Technology, UPES, Dehradun, India.
This work aimed to formulate surface-modified berberine hydrochloride (BER)-loaded liposomes containing nasal gel for bran targeting. The liposomes were prepared by ethanol-injection method and optimized following a 3 full-factorial design. Size, morphology, zeta potential, permeation, and release were estimated.

Trimethyl tin (TMT) is a good stabilizer for plastic products but is also a toxic environmental pollutant. Selenium has good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been widely used in the poultry industry. However, it has not been reported whether selenium enrichment can antagonize TMT-induced viral hepatitis in poultry.

Article Synopsis
- Area selective deposition (ASD) improves IC fabrication by addressing misalignment in litho-etch patterning, allowing for controlled growth only in designated areas while protecting non-growth areas.
- This study utilizes self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) to passivate non-growth areas, focusing on the selective deposition of ruthenium (Ru) films via atomic layer deposition (ALD).
- The results show smooth Ru films with minimal roughness and growth metrics, while identifying strategies to optimize selectivity and minimize defect generation through careful management of the oxygen co-reactant and ALD cycles.
Tridentate Lewis Acids Based on Tribenzotriquinacene Chalices.
Chemistry
July 2024
Chair of Inorganic and Structural Chemistry, Bielefeld University, Universitätsstraße 25, 33615, Bielefeld.
Chalice-shaped tridentate poly-Lewis acids (PLA) based on the tribenzotriquinacene (TBTQ) scaffold have been synthesised. Stannylation of the alkyne units, attached via phenyl-spacers to the benzhydrylic positions to the TBTQ scaffold, with MeNSnMe afforded the trimethyltin substituted TBTQ derivative. Replacement of these tin functions with other elements resulted in rigid boron- and aluminium-functionalised PLAs.

Quercetin (QT) shows potential for protecting against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. However, its limited bioavailability and instability in physiological pH hinder its clinical use. The purpose of this work is to construct QT-filled nanostructured lipid carriers (QT-NLC) intranasal in situ gel to enhance pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic performance.
