Single-Cell Tracking Reveals Antibiotic-Induced Changes in Mycobacterial Energy Metabolism

John McKinney, Muhittin Emre Özdemir, Zeljka Maglica

ATP is a key molecule of cell physiology, but despite its importance, there are currently no methods for monitoring single-cell ATP fluctuations in live bacteria. This is a major obstacle in studies of bacterial energy metabolism, because there is a growin ...

Synthesis and Antiproliferative Activity of New Ruthenium Complexes with Ethacrynic-Acid-Modified Pyridine and Triphenylphosphine Ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Emilia Paunescu, Tina Riedel

Pyridine- and phosphine-based ligands modified with ethacrynic acid (a broad acting glutathione transferase inhibitor) were prepared and coordinated to ruthenium(II)-arene complexes and to a ruthenium(III) NAMI-A type complex. All the compounds (ligands an ...

Modulating the Anticancer Activity of Ruthenium(II)-Arene Complexes

Rosario Scopelliti, Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Emilia Paunescu

Following the identification of [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl-2(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl-3-(pyridin-3-yl)propanoate)], a ruthenium(II)arene complex with a perfluoroalkyl-modified ligand that displays remarkable in vitro cancer cell selectivity, a series of stru ...

Who will develop new antibacterial agents?

Stewart Cole

The golden age of antimicrobial drug development is a distant memory, and the likelihood of there being another seems slim. In part, this is because the pharmaceutical industry, which has now adopted an unsustainable business model, abandoned the anti-infe ...

Synthesis and evaluation of new polynuclear organometallic Ru(II), Rh(III) and Ir(III) pyridyl ester complexes as in vitro antiparasitic and antitumor agents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

New polynuclear organometallic Platinum Group Metal (PGM) complexes containing di- and tripyridyl ester ligands have been synthesised and characterised using analytical and spectroscopic techniques including H-1, C-13 NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Reactio ...

Antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles on gram-negative bacteria: Influence on the growth and biofilms formation, mechanisms of action

Juan Kiwi

Antibacterial action of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) on Gram-negative bacteria (planctonic cells and biofilms) is reported in this study. AgNP of 8.3 nm in diameter stabilized by hydrolyzed casein peptides strongly inhibited biofilms formation of Escherichi ...

Reactivity and Biological Properties of a Series of Cytotoxic PtI2(amine)(2) Complexes, Either cis or trans Configured

Angela Casini

Six diiodido-diamine platinum(II) complexes, either cis or trans configured, were prepared, differing only in the nature of the amine ligand (isopropylamine, dimethylamine, or methylamine), and their antiproliferative properties were evaluated against a pa ...

DNA Reactivity Profile of trans-Platinum Planar Amine Derivatives

Alexey Nazarov

New trans-platinum planar amines (TPAs) represent a family of platinum-based drugs with cytotoxicity equivalent to that of cisplatin, but with negligible cross-resistance. According to the substitution pattern around the metal center, distinct DNA adducts ...

Functional Nanostructures Based on Organometallic Half-Sandwich Complexes

Hexanuclear coordination cages of the formula [(C5Me4R)M(C7H3NO 4)]6 (M = Rh, Ir; R = Me, H) were obtained by stepwise reaction of [(C5Me4R)M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with, first AgOAc and then pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. Crystallographic analyses show that the cages ...

Novel Ruthenium Complexes with Sterically Demanding Cyclopentadienyl Ligands : Syntheses, Reactivity and Catalytic Applications

Barnali Dutta

Investigations of ruthenium halfsandwich complexes have mostly focused on Cp and Cp* based derivatives due to the availability of easily accessible starting materials. However, it is interesting to have complexes with substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands i ...
