چکیده
We report a molecular nanoassembly able to supply simultaneously, in the same region of space and under the exclusive control of visible light, nitric oxide and singlet oxygen, two species playing a key role in the therapy of cancer; the considerable fluorescence of this nanoaggregate and its reduced size (ca. 40 nm) represent additional advantages that make this photoactive vehicle an appealing candidate to be tested in biological systems.

ROLE OF Mn(TPP)Cl IN THE EPOXIDATION WITH SINGLET OXYGEN
Mn(TPP)Cl catalyzes cooxidation of olefin in the singlet oxygenation of sulfid. Mn(TPP)Cl is able to transfer an oxygen atom from a peroxidic intermediate generated in singlet oxygenation of sulfide to a metal ion affording metal 0x0 species which is responsible for epoxidation. This system leads to allcenes epoxidation such as styrene and cyclooctene. Epoxidation of cyclohexene produces cy...
متن کاملAn engineered nanoplatform for bimodal anticancer phototherapy with dual-color fluorescence detection of sensitizers.
A multifunctional nanoplatform with four-in-one photoresponsive functionalities has been achieved through the co-encapsulation of two chromo-fluorogenic components within biocompatible polymeric nanoparticles. This engineered nanoconstruct efficiently delivers different photosensitizers in melanoma cells, which can be detected through their dual-color fluorescence, and induces amplified cell mo...
متن کاملProtective effect of exogenous nitric oxide on alleviation of oxidative damage induced by high salinity in rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings
To find the protective role of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on salinity-stressed rice seedlings, a CRD-based factorial experiment with three replications was conducted in Agronomy Laboratory of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, University of Guilan, in 2012. The experimental design consisted of healthy and vigorous seedlings of two rice cultivars, Khazar and Goohar, the last already known as...
متن کاملEffects of Copper Heavy Metal and Interaction With Nitric Oxide on Growth Parameters, Photosynthetic Pigment, Soluble Carbohydrate Content and Antioxidant Enzymes in Portulaca oleracea L. Ferdous Fendereski, Mahlagha Ghorbanli* and Arian Sateei
Copper is one of the heavy metal in plant that causes toxicity at high concentration via producing reactive oxygen species. Nitric oxide can protect cells from oxidative stress produce by reactive oxygen species. Effect of different concentrations of copper (1000, 1500 and 2000 μM) and interaction with nitric oxide (100 and 150 μM) were studied on growth parameters (shoot and root length) and s...

Background: The incidence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing in the world. One of the complications of diabetes includes disturbance of the reproductive tract, such as infertility, erectile dysfunction, and endocrine disturbances. Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical produced by most of cells including the human male and female reproductive tracts. NO has a dual role where low concentrat...
