Mesoporous SiO2-supported Cu2O nanoparticles as an egg-shell type catalyst were prepared by impregnation method. The obtained Cu2O/SiO2 nanocatalyst had a large surface area and narrow pore size distribution. In addition, most of the nanoparticles, with sizes around 2.0 nm, highly dispersed in mesoporous silica. Accordingly, fast reactant diffusion to active sites would occur, especially when metal are selectively located on outer part support, i.e., region egg shell. solvent-free...

Abstract Cancer is one of the main causes mortality in world. Many cancer cells produce ATP through high-level lactic acid fermentation catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which converts pyruvic to acid. LDH plays a dominant role Warburg effect, wherein aerobic glycolysis favored over oxidative phosphorylation. Due high production level cells, LDH-targeting could be potential treatment strategy. A few approaches, such as drug treatment, reportedly inhibited activity. In this study, we...
