purpose: today considerable advances have been achieved in application of nano-particles.   fullerene is one of the artificial forms of carbon element. long life cycle of medicines in the   human body is a success factor in delivery of medicine to the specific place. lots of nanoparticles   are being developed in this field and from a medical point of view, achieving such   goals is vital. the ...

In this study, the influence of fullerene junction on the chemical features of 16 different drugs including Captopril, Clonidine, Methyldopa, Naphazoline, Oxymetazoline, Tetrahydrozoline, Xylometazoline, Tolazoline, Clemastine, Procyclidine, Tyramine, Nicotine, Dextroamphetamine, Fluoxetine, Metoprolol and Enalapril was investigated computationally. For this purpose, the mentioned drugs were pl...

We show that the surface-supported two-dimensional covalent organic framework (COF) known as COF-1 can act as a host architecture for C60 fullerene molecules, predictably trapping the molecules under a range of conditions. The fullerenes occupy the COF-1 lattice at the solution/solid interface, and in dried films of the COF-1/fullerene network that can be synthesized through either drop-deposit...

in this research at the first, captopril drug (ca) and its fullerene connected form (fca) wereoptimized. natural bond orbital (nbo) calculations for these compounds were carried out at theb3lyp/6-31g quantum chemistry level, in the gas phase and the liquid phase. these calculations canbe performed at different accuracy levels depending on the aim of the theoretical study [1]. forinstance, densi...

The first icosacationic bis(fullerene) whose water solubility is provided by twenty peripheral ammonium groups has a rigid, almost cylindrical shape and was synthesized by connecting two fullerene cores with a chiral cyclo-bis(malonate), followed by the regioselective addition of ten amino-terminated malonates into the octahedral positions of the fullerene moieties and subsequent cleavage of th...

We have demonstrated that NBS is able to promote the oxidation of fullerene monoradicals to form 1,4-difunctional fullerenes. The singly bonded fullerene dimers were used as fullerene monoradical precursors, which produced various 1,4-fullerenes with a wide range of functional groups in good to high yields with high regioselectivity in terms of cosolvents and nucleophiles.

The molecular-species compositions of the diacyl classes of the major phospholipids from the brain and retina of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were determined. A total of 46 possible species was identified. Didocosahexaenoyl species were major components of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylserine (PS) from retina, comprising 14.1, 41.3 and 28.3% of the r...

After last six year e orts which are manifested by hundreds of papers on the physics, chemistry of the fullerenes and the fullerene based materials it is known a lot about the electronic structure of the single macromolecule which is the base of the di erent materials like the doped solids and the chemical adducts. A variety of the computational methods, from ab initio calculation to an empiric...

The etiology of altered blood fatty acid (FA) composition in cystic fibrosis (CF) is understood only partially. We aimed to investigate the determinants of serum glycerophospholipids' FAs in CF with regard to the highest number of FAs and in the largest cohort to date. The study comprised 172 CF patients and 30 healthy subjects (HS). We assessed Fas' profile (gas chromatography/mass spectrometr...

1. The prostaglandin precursor arachidonic acid (C20:4) increases plasma renin activity in the rabbit and rat when it is infused into the renal arteries. 2. The increase in plasma renin activity after C20:4 in rats is not changed by volume expansion. 3. The inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis indomethacin decreases plasma renin activity in the rabbit. 4. The increase plasma in renin activity a...
