Objective(s): The novel 7-hydroxycoumarinyl gallates derivatives are detected in many pharmaceutical compounds like anticancer and antimicrobial agents. Whereas carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been discussed for nanomedicine applications and in particular as drug delivery systems. The capability of armchair (5, 5) SWCNT -based drug delivery system in the therapy of anticancer has been investigated...

Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been carried out using a Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) in an attempt to investigate the electro-molecular properties of branched-chain glucoside (C14C10-D-glucoside) isomers. The results showed that αconfiguration of pyranoside form is thermodynamically the most stable, while the solution should contain much more β...

Objective(s): Chitosan, a biodegradable and cationic polysaccharide with increasing applications in biomedicine, possesses many advantages including mucoadhesivity, biocompatibility, and low-immunogenicity. The aim of this study, was investigating the influence of pH, ratio of azelaic acid/chitosan and molecular weight of chitosan on loading efficiency of azelaic acid in chitosan particles. Mat...

the neoplastic niche comprises complex interactions between multiple cell types and molecules requiring cell-cell signaling as well as local secretion. these niches are important for both the maintenance of cancer stem cells and the induction of neoplastic cells survival and proliferation. each niche contains a population of tumor stem cells supported by a closely associated vascular bed compri...

the plant-pathogen interaction is a multifactor process that may lead to resistance or susceptible responses of plant to pathogens. during the arms race between plant and pathogens, various biochemical, molecular and physiological events are triggered in plant cells such as ros signaling, hormone activation and gene expression reprogramming. in plants, micrornas (mirnas) are key post-transcript...

â  hepadnaviruses employ an unusual strategy for the production of enormous number of virions during replication which makes rapid and substantial genetic sequence changes and alterations. the pathogenesis and clearance of hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection are engaged by the selection and expression of viral mutants durâ­ing virus-host interactions. mutations in regulatory regions such as the b...

the thin gelatin films, prepared by casting of gelatin solutions at different drying temperatures, had different molecular morphologies as monitored, using wide angle x-ray diffraction (waxd) and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc) techniques. it was revealed that gelatin films dried at lower temperatures showed markedly higher crystalline or helical structure with slightly higher tg and lo...

inhibitory effect of three benzothiazole derivatives (1, 3-benzothiazol-2-amine (bta), 6-methyl-1, 3-benzothiazol-2-amine (mbta) and 2-amino-1, 3-benzothiazole-6-thiol (tbta)) on corrosion of carbon steel has been studied using density functional theory (dft) method in gas and aqueous phases. quantum chemical parameters such as ehomo (highest occupied molecular orbital energy), elumo (lowest un...
