Rare earth metals play a conspicuous role in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting cancerous cells. The alkali metal potassium is a neurotransmitter in the sodium–potassium pump in biomedical sciences. This unique property of rare earth metals and potassium drew our attention to carry forward this study. Therefore, in this work, previously synthesized potassium (K) complexes formed by the reflux of 4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DBA) and potassium hydroxide in methanol, and named [(μ2–4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate-κO)(μ2–4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid-κO)(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid-κO) potassium(I) coordination polymer)] were treated hydrothermally with La2O3 nanomaterials to obtain a nanohybrid La2O3/K-complex. After that, the K-complex was analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the structural and morphological properties of the as-prepared nanostructured La2O3/K-complex were also characterized, which involved an investigation using X-ray diffraction (XRD)spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force spectroscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. After this, the electrochemical redox behaviour of the synthesized nanohybrid material was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Therefore, the results from these studies revealed that the as-prepared material was a La2O3/K-complex that has a promising future role in sensing various analytes, as it showed effective electrocatalytic behaviour. 相似文献

Two families of autacoids from cell membrane phospholipids have been identified. The first, the icosanoids, which are formed
from arachidonic acid, include prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The other includes modified phospholipids, as the platelet
aggregating factor (PAF). These compounds are related to inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases.
We review in this paper some of the work that has been done in our laboratories in the last few years relating to the modeling
of new potential thromboxane synthase (TXS) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, and TXA2 receptor antagonists derived from nitrogenated heterocycles. We include the results of the modeling of a group of proposed
PAF antagonists, and compare their structures with PAF itself and with a recently proposed PAF antagonist model.

Two silicone coatings have been evaluated for barnacle adhesion. One coating is an unfilled hydrosilation cured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network, while the other is a room temperature vulcanized (RTV), filled, ethoxysiloxane cured PDMS elastomer, RTV11?. The adhesion strength of one species of barnacle, Balanus eburneus, to the hydrosilation coatings is in the range of 0.37–0.60 kg cm‐2 while the corresponding range for RTV11 is 0.64–0.90 kg cm‐2. The easier release of B. eburneus from the hydrosilation cured network compared to RTV11 is discussed in relationship to differences in bulk and surface properties. Preliminary results suggest bulk modulus may be the most important parameter in determining barnacle adhesion strength. In light or mechanical property analysis, a re‐evaluation of surface properties and chemical stability is presented. 相似文献

Background and aims
Salinity is an increasing problem for agricultural production worldwide. Understanding how Na+ enters plants is important if reducing Na+ influx, a key component of the regulation of Na+ accumulation in plants and improving salt tolerance of crop plants, is to be achieved. Our previous work indicated that two distinct low-affinity Na+ uptake pathways exist in the halophyte Suaeda maritima. Here, we report the external NaCl concentration at which uptake switches from pathway 1 to pathway 2 and the kinetics of the interaction between external K+ concentration and Na+ uptake and accumulation in S. maritima in order to determine the roles of K+ transporters or channels in low-affinity Na+ uptake.Methods
Na+ influx, Na+ and K+ accumulations in S. maritima exposed to various concentrations of NaCl (0–200 mM) were analyzed in the absence and presence of the inhibitors TEA and Ba+ (5 mM TEA or 3 mM Ba2+) or KCl (0, 10 or 50 mM).Results
Our earlier proposal was confirmed and extended that there are two distinct low-affinity Na+ uptake pathways in S. maritima: pathway 1 might be mediated by a HKT-type transporter under low salinity conditions and pathway 2 by an AKT1-type channel or a KUP/HAK/KT type transporter under high salinity conditions. The external NaCl concentration at which two distinct low-affinity Na+ uptake switches from pathway 1 to pathway 2, the ‘turning point’, is between 90 and 95 mM. Over a short period (12 h) of Na+ and K+ treatments, a low concentration of K+ (10 mM) facilitated Na+ uptake by S. maritima under high salinity (100–200 mM NaCl), whether or not the plants had been subjected to a longer (3 d) period of K+ starvation. The kinetics suggests that low concentration of K+ (10 mM) might activate AKT1-type channels or KUP/HAK/KT-type transporters under high salinity (100–200 mM NaCl).Conclusions
The turning-point of external NaCl concentrations for the two low-affinity Na+ uptake pathways in Suaeda maritima is between 90 and 95 mM. A low concentration of K+ (10 mM) might activate AKT1 or KUP/HAK/KT and facilitate Na+ uptake under high salinity (100–200 mM NaCl). The kinetics of K+ on Na+ uptake and accumulation in S maritima are also consistent with there being two low-affinity Na+ uptake pathways. 相似文献6.

There are major differences between the structures of human dihydrofolate reductase (hDHFR) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase (mtDHFR). These differences may allow us to design more selective mtDHFR inhibitors. In this paper we study the reactions of six different compounds derived from 5-deazapteridine with human and bacterial enzymes. Results suggest that the addition of hydrophobic groups to the aminophenyl ring would increase mtDHFR-inhibitor affinity and selectivity. 相似文献

Summary. Hepatitis C, Dengue and West Nile virus are some of the most important flaviviruses, that share one important serine protease enzyme. Serine proteases are the most studied class of proteolytic enzyme and, in these cases, a primary target for drug discovery. In this paper, we describe the synthesis and preliminary molecular modeling studies of a novel class of N-t-Boc amino acid esters derived of isomannide as potential serine proteases inhibitors. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: There are several reports that indicate a linkage between exposure to power frequency (50 - 60 Hz) magnetic fields with abnormalities in the early embryonic development of the chicken. The present study was designed to understand whether power frequency electromagnetic fields could act as an environmental insult and invoke any neurochemical or toxicological changes in developing chick embryo model. METHODS: Fertilized chicken eggs were subjected to continuous exposure to magnetic fields (50 Hz) of varying intensities (5, 50 or 100 microT) for a period of up to 15 days. The embryos were taken out of the eggs on day 5, day 10 and day 15. Neurochemical (norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine) and amino acid (tyrosine, glutamine and tryptophan) contents were measured, along with an assay of the enzyme glutamine synthetase in the brain. Preliminary toxicological investigations were carried out based on aminotransferases (AST and ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase activities in the whole embryo as well as in the liver. RESULTS: The study revealed that there was a significant increase (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001) in the level of norepinephrine accompanied by a significant decrease (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001) in the tyrosine content in the brain on day 15 following exposure to 5, 50 and 100 microT magnetic fields. There was a significant increase (p < 0.001) in glutamine synthetase activity resulting in the significantly enhanced (p < 0.001) level of glutamine in the brain on day 15 (for 100 microT only). The possible mechanisms for these alterations are discussed. Further, magnetic fields had no effect on the levels of tryptophan and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain. Similarly, there was no effect on the activity of either aminotransferases or lactate dehydrogenase in the whole embryo or liver due to magnetic field exposure. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these studies we conclude that magnetic field-induced changes in norepinephrine levels might help explain alterations in the circadian rhythm, observed during magnetic field stress. Also, the enhanced level of glutamine can act as a contributing factor for developmental abnormalities. 相似文献
