Nuclear reactions with charged particles have applications in many fields such as radioisotope production, industrial applications, astrophysics, etc. Therefore, examining the excitation functions performed and obtained by the activation technique is also important for understanding the nature of nuclear reactions. Also, it is especially necessary to study these reactions to estimate the effects of radiation damage on the fusion structural materials used in the construction of the first walls and core of the reactor. In this study, cross-section data have been calculated theoretically to Sc (d, 3n)Ti, Cu (d, 3n)Zn, Y (d, 3n)Zr, and Mo (d, 3n)Tc reactions in the range of 1-50 MeV energy via ALICE/ASH, TALYS 1.95 and Empire 3.2.2 nuclear reaction codes. Optical Model Parameters (OMP) calculation for deuteron-induced reaction results has been performed via TALYS 1.95 code and the calculated cross-section values are reproduced well. Also, empirically developed (d, 3n) cross section formula (Kavun, 2020) calculations have been performed at 20 MeV energy. Finally, experimental EXFOR data was compared with all results and were found to be compatible with each other.

A Multifunctional MIL-101-NH(Fe) Nanoplatform for Synergistic Melanoma Therapy.

Int J Nanomedicine

January 2025

Department of Pharmacy, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Luzhou, Sichuan, 646000, People's Republic of China.

Background: Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer, and single-modality treatments often fail to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. Combination therapy has emerged as an effective approach to improve treatment outcomes.

Methods: In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanoplatform, MIL@DOX@ICG, utilizing MIL-101-NH(Fe) as a carrier to co-deliver the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) and the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG).

Low Molecular Weight Biobased Aromatics from Pyrolysis Liquids Using Zeolites: Yield Improvements by Using Pyrolysis Oil Fractions.

ACS Omega

January 2025

Green Chemical Reaction Engineering, Engineering and Technology Institute Groningen, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 4, 9747 AG Groningen, The Netherlands.

Pyrolysis liquids from lignocellulosic biomass have the potential to be used as a feed for aromatics such as benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) using catalytic upgrading with zeolites. We here report an experimental study on the conversion of various pyrolysis oil fractions to determine the most suitable one for BTX synthesis. For this purpose, the pyrolysis liquid was fractionated using several extraction/distillation steps to give four fractions with different chemical compositions.

Novel D-Ribofuranosyl Tetrazoles: Synthesis, Characterization, In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity, and Computational Studies.

ACS Omega

January 2025

Applied Chemistry and Environment Laboratory, Applied Bioorganic Chemistry Team, Faculty of Science, Ibn Zohr University, Agadir 80000, Morocco.

The goal of this study was to synthesize and evaluate new antimicrobial compounds. We specifically focused on the development of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole derivatives containing the O-methyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-(D)-ribofuranoside groups through N-alkylation reactions. The synthesized compounds were characterized using H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Heat stress negatively affects the reproductive function of in animals and humans. Although a relationship between heat and oxidative stress has been suggested, the underlying mechanism has not been sufficiently examined in reproduction-related cells. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether heat stress induces oxidative stress using a variety of reproduction-related cells including bovine placental and cumulus-granulosa cells, human cell lines derived from cervical and endometrial cancers, and fibroblasts derived from endometrium.

Photocycloreversion reactions of three diarylethene derivatives whose structures differ only in the placement of two sulfur atoms in the cyclopentene rings are investigated. Despite the minuscule differences between the molecules, both the yields and times of the photoreactions vary considerably. Using UV-vis and infrared femtosecond spectroscopy and quantum chemical dynamics simulations, we elucidate the relationships among the quantum yield, electronic and vibrational relaxation time, and structural properties of the dithienylethene photoswitches.
