This review of structurally simple and essentially molecular metal clusters on solid supports addresses synthesis, characterization, reactivity, catalysis. Examples supported made in high yields are Os3, Ir4, Ir6, Rh6, typical MgO, γ-Al2O3, zeolites. Supported synthesized by adsorption ligated clusters, deposition bare size-selected from the gas phase, complexes followed treatment to form clusters. Some have been imaged with atomic resolution. Reactions include ligand modifications,...
Owing to several mutations, the oncogene Kirsten rat sarcoma 2 viral homolog (KRAS) is activated in majority of cancers, and targeting it has been pharmacologically challenging. In this study, using an silico approach comprised pharmacophore modeling, molecular docking, dynamics simulations, potential KRAS G12D inhibitors were investigated. A ligand-based common feature model was generated identify framework necessary for effective inhibition. The chemical features selected two hydrogen bond...
AbstractIndiscriminate use of vanadium oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in steel industries and their release during combustion fossil fuels makes it essential to study toxic potential. Herein, we assessed the toxicological effects two types in-house synthesized NPs Wistar rats exposed through inhalation route.

Twist1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, essential during early development in mammals. While induces epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), here we show that overexpression enhances nuclear and mitotic aberrations. This accompanied by an increase whole chromosomal copy number gains losses, underscoring the role of inducing instability (CIN) colorectal cancer cells. Array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis further shows sub-chromosomal deletions,...

Reactive blends maleated (MTPS) PLA were prepared ZSK-30 twin-screw extruder; 80% glycerol was grafted during preparation MTPS determined by soxhlet extraction with acetone. The found from 7.7% 28.6% 5% MTPS....
Metal atoms piggyback: Aberration-corrected STEM images of MgO-supported triosmium clusters show that the osmium reside atop magnesium (see picture). On basis results, structural models include metal–support interaction are derived.
Supported triosmium clusters, formed from Os3(CO)12 on MgO, were treated in helium at 548 K for 2 h, causing fragmentation of the cluster frame and formation mononuclear osmium dicarbonyls. The breakup resultant fragmented species characterized by infrared X-ray absorption spectroscopies, imaged scanning transmission electron microscopy. spectra identify surface complexes as Os(CO)2{Osupport}n (n = 3 or 4) (where braces denote support atoms). images show site-isolated Os atoms MgO. intensity...

The samples are among best-defined supported catalysts. As a service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors. Such materials peer reviewed may be re-organized for online delivery,...
2-Methyl-3-[1-(N,N-dimethylamino)diazen-1-ium-1,2-diol-2-ato-methyl]-naphthalene-1,4-dione 1 (HyPR-1), a small molecule containing superoxide generator strategically linked to diazeniumdiolate-based nitric oxide donor, is reported. Evidence for HyPR-1's ability generate peroxynitrite in the presence of an enzyme as well enhance within cells provided. The utility this tool generating cellular studies demonstrated.
This paper reports on synthesis of modified thermoplastic starch (MTPS) and glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) blends in a twin-screw extruder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed uniform, microdispersion MTPS PETG matrix, confirming compatibilization the blend by graft copolymers generated situ during reactive extrusion process.

A novel method of determining nanocluster sizes and size distributions using high-angle annular dark-field imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy is described. This demonstrated for MgO-supported [Os10C(CO)24]2- clusters formed by treating Os3(CO)12 precursors CO. The image analysis identified the presence both expected ratio (with matching those calculated on basis their crystallographically determined structures within 6%) also larger that can be readily as combinations...
The increasing use of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in paint industry is not supplemented with adequate toxicology data. This report focuses on the fibrogenic toxicity caused due to co-exposure ZnONPs and toluene male Wistar rats, exposed for 28 days, through directed flow nose only exposure chamber. rats were grouped as air control, control (200 ppm), zinc oxide (10 mg/m3), low dose co-exposed (5 mg/m3 ZnO 200 ppm toluene) high toluene). Our study demonstrates that (as industry), even...
