Collective cell migration of epithelial tumor cells is one of the important factors for elucidating cancer metastasis and developing novel drugs for cancer treatment. Especially, new roles of E-cadherin in cancer migration and metastasis, beyond the epithe ...
Neutral piano-stool complexes of the general formula [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Rh(L-OR)] (R = Me, 1; R = Et, 2; R = Pe(i), 3) have been prepared in alcohols (methanol, 1; ethanol, 2; isopropanol, 3) from the Schiff-base 5-methyl-4-{(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino}-4H-1, ...
Cancer is one of the biggest medical challenges of our times, with a devastating impact across all social categories. Accordingly, considerable efforts are geared towards improving the standard of care. Among them, immunotherapy, which relies on the immune ...
A series of Cu(diimine)(X-sal)(NO3) complexes, where the diimine is either 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and X-sal is a monoanionic halogenated salicylaldehyde (X = Cl, Br, I, or H), have been synthesized and characterized by elementa ...
Malva pseudolavatera Webb & Berthel. is a plant from the Malvaceae family that has long been included in the human diet due to its various curative effects. Many plant leaf extracts from the various species of Malva genus have been reported to possess anti ...
Regio- and stereoselective nucleophilic attack of cyanide (from NBu4CN) to cationic diiron vinyliminium compounds [Fe2Cp2(CO)(mu-CO){mu-eta(1):eta(3)-C-(R')C(R '')-CNMe2}]CF3SO3 ([1a-f]CF3SO3) affords the nitrile-aminoallylidene derivatives 2a-f in good to ...
Chemotherapy and radiation are unable to eliminate all cancer cells, particularly apoptosis-resistant cancer cells, despite their ability to kill cancer cluster cells. Thus, it is important to identify methods that eliminate all cancer cells in order to pr ...
Simple Summary Breast cancer stem cells are a subset of transformed cells that sustain tumor growth and can metastasize to secondary organs. Since metastasis accounts for most cancer deaths, it is of paramount importance to understand the cellular and mole ...
The chemistry of cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes plays an important role in ruthenium catalysis because of its high potential for various transformations. However, asymmetric catalysis with chiral cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes is still ...
The rising resistance and the severe side effects associated with classical anticancer drugs such as cisplatin or mercaptopurines has triggered the development of novel antitumourous agents based on transition metal (e.g. ruthenium, osmium, and gold) organ ...
Two-step functionalization of 4-diphenylphosphino benzoic acid with biotin afforded 2-(biotinyloxy)ethyl 4-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzoate (LP), that was subsequently used to synthesize the Ru(II) arene complexes [RuCl2(eta(6)-p-cymene)(LP)] (1), [Ru(C2O4)(et ...
