Cp*RuCl(PPh3)2 is an effective catalyst for the regioselective "fusion" of organic azides and terminal alkynes, producing 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Internal alkynes also participate in this catalysis, resulting fully substituted

The catalytic activity of a series ruthenium(II) complexes in azide-alkyne cycloadditions has been evaluated. [Cp*RuCl] complexes, such as Cp*RuCl(PPh 3) 2, Cp*RuCl(COD), and Cp*RuCl(NBD), were among the most effective catalysts. In presence 2 or primary secondary azides react with broad range terminal alkynes containing functionalities selectively producing 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles; tertiary significantly less reactive. Both also promote cycloaddition reactions organic internal...

The importance of cross-talk between a cancer and its microenvironment has been increasingly recognized. We hypothesized that mutational inactivation the tumor-suppressor gene TP53 genomic alterations in stromal cells tumor's contribute to clinical outcome.We performed mutation analysis genomewide loss heterozygosity allelic imbalance on DNA from isolated neoplastic epithelial 43 patients with hereditary breast 175 sporadic cancer. Compartment-specific patterns mutations were analyzed....

Chinese date, the fruit of Ziziphus jujuba Mill., has thousands years cultivation history, and about 700 cultivars dates in China. Two types are commonly found market: (i) fresh immature consumed as fruits, (ii) dried mature used medicines. Here, chemical biological properties these were revealed. Different sources showed similar profiles; however, amounts identified chemicals a great variation. The amount nucleotides, flavonoids polysaccharides could be affected by its maturity drying...

Abstract Co-delivery of microRNAs and chemotherapeutic drugs into tumor cells is an attractive strategy for synergetic breast cancer therapy due to their complementary mechanisms. In this work, a core-shell nanocarrier coated by cationic albumin was developed simultaneously deliver miRNA-34a docetaxel (DTX) improved therapeutic effect. The co-delivery nanocarriers showed spherical morphology with average particle size 183.9 nm, they efficiently protected from degradation RNase serum....

Radix Astragali (RA) is commonly used as a health food supplement to reinforce the body vital energy. Flavonoids, including formononetin, ononin, calycosin, and calycosin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, are considered be major active ingredients within RA. Here, we provided different lines of evidence that RA flavonoids stimulated expression erythropoietin (EPO), central regulator red blood cell mass, in cultured human embryonic kidney fibroblasts (HEK293T). A plasmid containing hypoxia response element...

An amphiphilic hyaluronic acid (HA)-g-all-trans retinoid (HRA) conjugate was successfully developed as a tumor-targeting nanocarrier for potentially synergistic combination chemotherapy of all-trans (ATRA) and paclitaxel (PTX). The HRA synthesized by an imine reaction between HA-COOH ATRA-NH2. PTX-loaded nanoparticles possessed high loading capacity, nanoscale particle sizes, good biocompatible characteristics. Cell viability assays indicated that exhibited concentration- time-dependent...

Abstract Coagulation balance is maintained through fine-tuned interactions among clotting factors, whose physiological concentrations vary substantially. In particular, the of coagulation proteases (pM to nM) are much lower than their natural inactivator antithrombin (AT, ~ 3 μM), suggesting existence other coordinators. current study, we found that transferrin (normal plasma concentration ~40 μM) interacts with fibrinogen, thrombin, factor XIIa (FXIIa), and AT different affinity maintain...

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been recognized as a highly heterogeneous disease with phenotypic and genotypic diversity in each subgroup. While never-smoker patients NSCLC have well studied through next generation sequencing, we yet to recognize the potentially unique molecular features of young NSCLC. In this study, conducted whole genome sequencing (WGS) characterize genomic alterations 36 Chinese patients, who were diagnosed adenocarcinoma (LUAD) at 45 years or younger. Besides...
