Functionalized fullerenes with specific physicochemical properties have been developed for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Notably, metallofullerene is a new class of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast-enhancing agent, and may have promising applications for clinical diagnosis. Polyhydroxylated and carboxyl fullerenes have been applied to photoacoustic imaging. Moreover, in recent years, f...

Hydrophobic trioctylphosphine oxide-functionalized CdSe quantum dots (CdSe-TOPO QDs) were transferred from organic solvent to aqueous solution via a simple yet novel biphasic ligand exchange process in one step, which involved the in-situ formation of hydrophilic dithiocarbamate moieties and subsequent ligand exchange with TOPO at the chloroform/water interface. The resulting water dispersible,...

The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C₂H₃O₂)₂(C₁₄H₁₃N₃)], is coordinated by an N₂O₃ donor set defined by the quinolinyl- and pyrazolyl-N atoms of the chelating heterocyclic ligand, and three carboxyl-ate-O atoms derived from the monodentate and bidentate carboxyl-ate ligands. Distortions from the ideal square-pyramidal coordination geometry relate to the restricted bite angle of the chela...

The title compound, C(18)H(17)NO(6) [systematic name: (2R,3R)-4-benzyl-amino-2-benzo-yloxy-3-hy-droxy-4-oxobutanoic acid], is the first structurally characterized unsymmetrical monoamide-monoacyl tartaric acid derivative. The mol-ecule shows a staggered conformation around the tartramide Csp(3)-Csp(3) bond with trans-oriented carboxyl and amide groups. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized ...

The labeling patterns found in tissue glutamate, aspartate, and alanine after administration of glutaric acid-3-Cl4 to male rats (1) indicated that the major catabolic route of glutarate is via acetate (2) and not via a direct conversion to the carbon chain of cu-ketoglutarate (3-5). In further studies on the metabolism of glutarate-3-C14 in rats, we have observed the formation of urinary acety...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(12)H(11)N(2)O(4))(2)(C(10)H(14)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom lies on a center of inversion and is coordinated by carboxyl-ate O atoms, pyridine N atoms and two water mol-ecules in an elongated octa-hedral geometry. The pyridine ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.83 (12)° with respect to the benzene ring. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bondi...

In the title complex, [Zn(C8H4NO2)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], the ZnII cation, located on an inversion centre, is coordinated by two water mol-ecules, two 4-cyano-benzoate (CB) anions and two di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) ligands in a distorted N2O4 octa-hedral geometry. In the mol-ecule, the dihedral angle between the planar carboxyl-ate group and the adjacent benzene ring is 9.50 (14)°, while the be...

The in vitro metabolism of 1-[2-(5-tert-butyl-[1,3,4] oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethylamino)-ethanone (LC15-0133), a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, was investigated using a hepatic microsomal system. The structures of the metabolites were characterized using mass spectral analysis and by comparison with synthetic references. The in vitro ...

Abstract Bark from trees is considered a worthless raw material. However, this resource could be economically beneficial if utilized efficiently due to its rich chemical compounds. In study, an ethanol toluene-soluble extractive, alpha-cellulose and lignin obtained Leucaena leucocephala bark were characterized determine their functional groups. Based on FTIR spectral analysis, the results indic...
