Published: October 2011

In the present study, structural properties of 2-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-benzoic acid methyl ester have been studied extensively by spectral methods and X-ray crystallography. Quantum mechanical calculations of energies, geometries, vibrational wavenumbers, NMR and electronic transitions were carried out by DFT using B3LYP functional combined with 6-31G(d) basis set. Natural bond orbitals (NBO) analysis and frontier molecular orbitals were performed at the same level of theory. DFT calculations showed good agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of optimized and X-ray structure as well as between the vibrational and NMR spectroscopy. The title compound was screened for its antibacterial activity referring to Tetracycline as standard antibacterial agent.

Cancer vaccines have received tremendous attention in cancer immunotherapy due to their capability to induce a tumor-specific immune response. However, their effectiveness is compromised by the insufficient spatiotemporal delivery of antigens and adjuvants in the subcellular level to induce a robust CD8 T cell response. Herein, a cancer nanovaccine G5-pBA/OVA@Mn is prepared through multiple interactions of manganese ions (Mn), benzoic acid (BA)-modified fifth generation polyamidoamine (G5-PAMAM) dendrimer, and the model protein antigen ovalbumin (OVA).

Improved PIEZO1 agonism through 4-benzoic acid modification of Yoda1.

Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Leeds, Leeds, UK.

Background And Purpose: The protein PIEZO1 forms mechanically activated, calcium-permeable, non-selective cation channels in numerous cell types from several species. Options for pharmacological modulation are limited and so we modified a small-molecule agonist at PIEZO1 channels (Yoda1) to increase the ability to modulate these channels.

Experimental Approach: Medicinal chemistry generated Yoda1 analogues that were tested in intracellular calcium and patch-clamp assays on cultured cells exogenously expressing human or mouse PIEZO1 or mouse PIEZO2.

Background: Consumers seek "clean" and "natural" products based on their perception of safety. However, there is no standard, scientific basis, or regulatory oversight in the marketing or ingredient use for "clean" products.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of allergenic ingredients in "clean" products.

This study addresses a systematic review of the scientific literature to evaluate the most common advanced oxidation processes (AOP) for the removal of phthalate esters (PE) in aqueous matrices. Six AOP were reviewed for PE degradation such as processes based on photolysis, Fenton, ozonation and sulfate radicals ( ), combined AOP and other processes. The PE degradation efficiencies by AOP processes ranged from 40.
