Liposome nano-formulation with cationic polar lipid DOTAP and cholesterol as a suitable pH-responsive carrier for molecular therapeutic drug (all-trans retinoic acid) delivery to lung cancer cells

The molecular targeted drug ATRA demands a suitable carrier that delivers to the cancer site due to its poor bioavailability and drug resistance. ATRA, being a lipid with carboxylic acid, has been nano-formulated as a cationic lipo-ATRA with DOTAP:choleste ...

Low‐Volatility Vapors and New Particle Formation Over the Southern Ocean During the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Robin Lewis Modini, Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

During summer, the Southern Ocean is largely unaffected by anthropogenic emissions, which makes this region an ideal place to investigate marine natural aerosol sources and processes. A better understanding of natural aerosol is key to constrain the preind ...

A Rosetta-based protein design protocol converging to natural sequences

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Zander Harteveld, Giulia Sormani, Stéphane Rosset

Computational protein design has emerged as a powerful tool capable of identifying sequences compatible with pre-defined protein structures. The sequence design protocols, implemented in the Rosetta suite, have become widely used in the protein engineering ...

Methods for the generation of large combinatorial macrocycle libraries

Sevan Mleh Habeshian

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...

Ruthenium on phosphorous-modified alumina as an effective and stable catalyst for catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural

Gaël Peng, Thibault Xavier Florian Fovanna, Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Supported ruthenium was used in the liquid phase catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural. To improve the stability of Ru against leaching, phosphorous was introduced on a Ru/Al2O3 based catalyst upon impregnation with ammonium hypophosphite followed b ...

Thermodynamics and kinetics of protonated merocyanine photoacids in water

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Euro Solari, Cristian Pezzato, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Stefano Zamuner, Cesare Berton, Daniel Maria Busiello

Metastable-state photoacids (mPAHs) are chemical species whose photo-activated state is long-lived enough to allow for proton diffusion. Liao's photoacid (1) represents the archetype of mPAHs, and is being widely used on account of its unique capability to ...

Bronsted and Lewis acid adducts of triazenes

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Frederick Mark Chadwick, Iris Roswitha Landman

The synthetic utility of triazenes rests on the fact that the triazene function can be cleaved by BrOnsted or Lewis acids, liberating diazonium compounds. However, the preferred coordination site of the acid is still a matter of debate. We have analyzed tr ...

SET processes in Lewis acid–base reactions: the tritylation of N-heterocyclic carbenes

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Cristian Pezzato, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Zhaowen Dong

Reactions between N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the trityl cation, [Ph3C]+, give covalent adducts of type [NHC–CPh3]+ and/or [NHC–C6H5–CPh2]+. EPR spectroscopy, UV-Vis analyses, and trapping experiments imply that adduct formation involves carbene rad ...
