Treatment of hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene with excess NaN 3, followed by hydrogenation of the resultant polyazide, affords hexamine 3 in high yield. Coupling to six equivalents of nonanoic acid provides hexamide 5 without chromatographic purification. The NH resonance of 5 appears far downfield (approximately 9.7 ppm) in CDCl3 and is unaffected by changes in concentration or by addition of chloride or trifluoromethanesulfonate ions. DFT calculations predict that 5 exists as a bowl, with all six substituents intramolecularly H-bonded together on one side of the plane defined by the anchoring arene.

Nanofibrous dressing materials with an antitumor function can potentially inhibit recurrence of melanoma following the surgical excision of skin tumors. In this study, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (hPAN) nanofibers biofunctionalized with L-carnosine (CAR) and loaded with bio (CAR)-synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles, ZnO/CAR-hPAN (hereafter called ZCPAN), were employed to develop an antimelanoma wound dressing. Inspired by the formulation of the commercial wound healing Zn-CAR complex, i.

Background: Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal skin cancer that affects thousands of people worldwide. Ruthenium complexes have shown promising results as cancer chemotherapeutics, offering several advantages over platinum drugs, such as potent efficacy, low toxicity, and less drug resistance. Additionally, anthraquinone derivatives have broad therapeutic applications, including melanoma.

: Pteridine reductase 1 (PTR1) has been one of the prime targets for discovering novel antileishmanial therapeutics in the fight against Leishmaniasis. This enzyme catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of pterins to their tetrahydro forms. While chemotherapy remains the primary treatment, its effectiveness is constrained by drug resistance, unfavorable side effects, and substantial associated costs.
