A series of (E) and (Z)-ferrocenyl oxindoles were prepared by coupling substituted oxindoles to ferrocenylcarboxyaldehyde in the presence of morpholine as a catalyst. The redox behavior of these isomers was determined by cyclic voltammetry. The effects of the oxindole derivatives on the migration of human breast cancer cells were evaluated using the wound-healing assay and the Boyden chamber cell-migration assay. The most potent Z isomers 11b (IC(50) = 0.89 microM), 12b (IC(50) = 0.49 microM) and 17b (IC(50) = 0.64 microM) could represent attractive new lead compounds for further development for cancer therapy.

The growing demand for clean, decentralized energy has increased interest in blue energy, which generates power from water with different salt concentrations. Despite its potential as a renewable, low-cost energy source, optimizing electrode materials remains a challenge. This work presents a nanomaterial developed via microwave-assisted sol-gel methodology for blue energy applications, where ion diffusion and charge storage are critical.

Copper-based materials, renowned for their redox versatility and conductivity, have extensive applications in electrochemical sensing. Herein, we construct stable Cu/Cu interfaces within dual-valence copper nanostructures to achieve enhanced sensitivity in glucose sensing. By employing a hydrolysis method to tune Cu/Cu ratios precisely, we achieved an optimal electrochemical interface with heightened stability and reactivity.

The P2-NaMnO cathode material has long been constrained by phase transitions induced by the Jahn-Teller (J-T) effect during charge-discharge cycles, leading to suboptimal electrochemical performance. In this study, we employed a liquid phase co-precipitation method to incorporate Ti during the precursor MnO synthesis, followed by calcination to obtain NaTiMnO materials. We investigated the effects of Ti doping on the structure, morphology, Mn concentration, and Na diffusion coefficients of NaTiMnO.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that employs strong magnetic fields and radio frequencies to generate detailed images of the body's interior. In oncology patients, gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are frequently administered to enhance the visualization of tumors. Those contrast agents are gadolinium chelates, characterized by high stability that prevents the release of the toxic gadolinium ion into the body.

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted the need for the development of new biosensors for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Particularly, systems with qualities such as sensitivity, fast detection, appropriate to large-scale analysis, and applicable in situ, avoiding using specific materials or personnel to undergo the test, are highly desirable. In this regard, developing an electrochemical biosensor based on peptides derived from the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor 2 (ACE2) is a possible answer.
