Although Rh(I)Cl(CO)(cpd) (cpd = cyclopentadienone) complexes were identified more than 40 years ago, their exact structures have not been determined because of the polymeric nature of these complexes. We determined the structure of [Rh(I)Cl(CO)(cpd)](2), which was formed by the reaction of [Rh(cod)Cl](2) with a 1,6-diyne under CO. In addition, based on determination of the structure of the [Rh...

The title compound, [Rh(C(8)H(12))(C(18)H(36)P(2))]BF(4), exhibits a rhodium(I) complex cation with a bidentate bis-phosphine ligand and a bidentate η(2),η(2)-coordinated cyclo-octa-1,5-diene ligand. The ligands form a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment for the Rh(I) atom. An intra-molecular P-Rh-P bite angle of 83.91 (2)° is observed. The dihedral angle between the P-Rh-...

Pancreatic carcinoma is one of the cancers with the worse prognosis, thus any therapeutic improvement is imperative. Cytotoxic LH-RH analog, AN-152 (proprietary designation, AEZS-108), consisting of doxorubicin (DOX) conjugated to D-Lys⁶LH-RH, is now in clinical trials for targeted therapy of several sex hormone-dependent tumors that express LH-RH receptors. We investigated LH-RH receptors in h...

Reactive hyperemia (RH) creates an uncontrolled, transient increase in brachial artery (BA) shear stress (SS) for flow-mediated dilation (FMD) assessment. In contrast, handgrip exercise (HGEX) can create similar, sustained SS increases over repeated trials. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of repeated SS elevation via RH or HGEX and the relationship between RH and HGEX %FMD. ...
