Ab initio structural parameters, relative energies and spectroscopic properties are reported for the 5a,6-anhydrotetracycline-platinum(II) dichloride complex. Distinct coordination modes were analyzed in gas phase and aqueous medium indicating the tricarbonylmethane moiety (O3-Oam-O1) as the most probable Pt(II) complexation sites, supporting experimental proposals. The theoretical (1)H NMR analysis in conjunction with the observed data suggests that the Pt(II) might be bound to the O3-Oam preferentially, even though this site was found slightly unfavorable, based on energetic grounds, relative to O1-Oam. The aquation reaction, which is an important activation step in the action mechanism of cisplatin like molecules, was also investigated showing rate constants (0.5-1 x 10(-5) M(-1) s(-1)) of the same order of magnitude as those for the parent cisplatin compound. This is an important result stressing the importance of tetracyclines-Pt(II) complexes as lead compounds for the development of new platinum based antitumor drugs.

Background: Treatment with Ra-223 dichloride is approved for the therapy of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastases in Europe since 2013, and Ra-223 is under discussion for labelling other molecules and nanoparticles. The direct progeny of Ra-223 is Rn-219, also known as actinon, a radioactive noble gas with a half-life of 3.98 s.

Strategies for combining ionic and non-ionic functional groups are important for altering detergent properties and exploring new chemical spaces within the detergentome. Previous synthesis protocols for ionic/non-ionic hybrid detergents require asymmetric detergent precursors with independently addressable hydroxyl groups that can be decorated with charged groups. However, preparation of ionic/non-ionic headgroups can be tedious in terms of required synthesis steps and resource consumption.

Background: Previous epidemiological studies on the associations between hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and breast cancer (BC) have largely neglected rural, medically underserved areas in the United States, which differ in exposures and disparities compared to urban areas.
Objectives: We aimed to examine the associations between carcinogenic HAPs and BC risk in a rural population.
Methods: Using a nested case-control design, 574 cases and 2,295 incidence density-sampled controls matched 1:4 on index age and race were included from the Arkansas Rural Community Health study.

Air contamination by 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCE) is recognized as a threat across countries. Addressing this problem is challenging due to the absence of clearly defined biological standards for monitoring 1,2-DCE exposure among humans. Moreover, studies on the impacts of 1,2-DCE exposure on human health are limited.

Herbicide paraquat dichloride, a potent redox agent found its way to natural water bodies and influences their health; however, its impact on the reproductive health of fish is potentially less studied and requires clear investigation. This study was conducted to elucidate its effect on the gonadal health of female fish, Channa punctatus over 60 days. The 96-h LC of test herbicide was calculated as 0.
