The aim of this study is to examine the growth inhibitory effects of methanolic leaf and fruit extracts of L. vulgare on HCT-116 cells over different time periods and their synergistic effect with a Pd(apox) complex. The antiproliferative activity of plant extracts alone or in combination with the Pd(apox) complex was determined using MTT cell viability assay, where the IC(50) value was used as...

We have demonstrated a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of a novel imine based tridentate ligand and its Pd-complex to investigate the C-C cross-coupling reactions, that involve column chromatography purification in only one step. The catalytic activity of the newly synthesized catalyst was studied for the Suzuki, Sonogashira and, Heck cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions....

Pain is an increasingly recognized non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), with significant prevalence and strong impact on quality life patients. Moreover, pain can occur various features in PD several subtypes may coexist a same patient, leading to complex presentation difficult diagnosis treatment. In this paper we review the clinical manifestations painful phenomena PD, focus classif...

Herein, we report a novel polymerized-complex method for the preparation of Ni-Pd, Ni-Pt, and Cu-Pt alloys and Pt, Pd, Ag, Ni, and Cu nanoparticles. The grain sizes and crystalline phases of these nanoparticles can be controlled. These nanoparticles are obtained via the formation of a polymerized complex and release of reducing gases during N2-protected calcination.

Endosomal protein sorting controls the localization of many physiologically important proteins and is linked to several neurodegenerative diseases. VPS35 is a component of the retromer complex, which mediates endosome-to-Golgi retrieval of membrane proteins such as the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor. Furthermore, retromer is also required for the endosomal recruitment of the ac...

APOE polymorphism has received extensive attention as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), but findings have been equivocal. Analysis of APOE variants in an Australian PD case-control sample revealed a robust association between genotype and age-at-onset (AAO) of PD in women (P=0.0008). These data not only further implicate APOE in PD, but also provide a stark example of the effects that...

Highly dispersed low-coordinate Pd sites on SiO2 are fabricated by grafting the Pd II PCP-pincer complex (PCP)Pd−OH (PCP = 2,6-C6H3(CH2PBu2)2) on SiO2, followed by calcination with ozone (100 °C) and reduction with H2 (300 °C). The chemisorption process and structure of this organometallic complex on SiO2 is established by solutionphase H and P NMR and solid-state P CPMAS NMR spectroscopy, XPS,...

The palladium hydride-iminium complex generated from Pd/C and triethylamine catalyses the isomerisation of allylic alcohols into carbonyl compounds, and Pd/C catalyses the conjugate reduction of activated double bonds using triethylamine as the source of the two newly incorporated hydrogen atoms via the same complex.

The novel complex cis-[(ITMe)2 Pd(SiMe3 )2 (ITMe=1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) has been synthesized by mild oxidative cleavage of Me3 SiSiMe3 using [(ITMe)2 Pd(0) ]. The use of this complex as precatalyst for the cis-bis(silyl)ation of alkynes using unactivated disilanes is reported.

In the title compound, [Pd(C(17)H(13)N(2)O)(2)], the Pd(II) atom is tetra-coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate methylphenyl-diazenylnaphtolate ligands, forming a square-planar complex. The two N atoms and two O atoms around the Pd(II) atom are trans to each other (as the Pd(II) atom lies on a crystallographic inversion centre) with O-Pd-N bond angles of 89.60 (11) and 9...
