[κ2-O,O′-Carbonatotetraamminecobalt(III)] iodide, or [Co(NH3)4CO3]I, named in this paper as compound 1, was prepared and characterized comprehensively with spectroscopic (IR, Raman UV) single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Compound 1 orthorhombic, isomorphous the analogous bromide. The four ammonia ligands carbonate anion were coordinated to central cobalt cation a distorted octahedral geom...

Pulse dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (PDS) is continuously furthering the understanding of chemical and biological assemblies through distance measurements in nanometer range. New paramagnets pulse sequences can provide structural insights not accessible other techniques. In pursuit alternative spin centers for PDS, we synthesized a low-spin CoII complex bearing nitroxide ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that affects the synovial knee joint causes swelling of membrane and tissue damage. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) enzyme glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) are involved in pathogenesis RA. The link between IL-17A, GSK3β, oxidative stress, profibrogenic marker alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) with without TDZD-8, GSK3β inhibitor has not been studied before. Consequent...

The synthesis and the structure of the new potentially heptadentate ligand 1,3-bis-(3-oxo-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-propionyl)-2-methoxybenzene (H5L) is described. The reaction in pyridine or DMF of this ligand with various M(AcO)2 salts (M = NiII, CoII, MnII) leads to very different products depending on the metal. Thus, the dinuclear complexes [M2(H3L)2(py)4] (M = NiII, 1; CoII, 2) or the linear zi...

The complete DNA sequence of the mtDNA cytochrome oxidase II gene from house fly, Musca domestica, face fly, Musca autumnalis, stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, horn fly, Haematobia irritans, and black garbage fly, Hydrotaea aenescens, are reported. The nucleotide sequence codes for a 229 amino acid peptide. The COII sequence is A + T rich (74.1%), with up to 12.3% nucleotide and 8.4% amino acid...

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the snail Camaenacicatricosa (Müller, 1774) has been sequenced and annotated in this study. The entire circular genome is 13,843 bp in size and represents the first camaenid mt genome, with content of 31.9%A, 37.9%T, 13.5%C and 16.7%G. Gene content, codon usage and base organization show similarity to a great extent to the sequenced mt genome from Stylo...

The study discusses the possible binding of molecular oxygen to some new CoII complexes with the Schiff base ligands of the Co(Salen) type. The investigated complexes of CoII with the Schiff bases are: (bis(5-nitro-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(NSalen); (bis( -ethylene-salicylaldehyde)ethylenediaminato)cobalt(II), Co(EtSalen); (bis( -ethylene-3,5-diiode-salicylaldehyde)ethyle...
