ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 containing various percentages of copper were successfully synthesized through a green in-situ thermal (IST) approach based on 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) as the organic linker. The IST method has several advantages over previously reported studies, including solvent additive-free reaction conditions, mild temperature, single-step procedure, no activation requirements, use smalle...

N-Methylpyrrole (Py)-N-methylimidazole (Im) polyamides are small organic molecules that can recognize predetermined DNA sequences with high sequence specificity. As many eukaryotic promoter regions contain highly GC-rich sequences, it is valuable to synthesize and characterize Py-Im polyamides that recognize GC-rich motifs. In this study, we synthesized four hairpin Py-Im polyamides 1-4, which ...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the most commonly used method for detection staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), main protein toxin causing food poisoning. However, traditional ELISA reaction needs to be stopped by sulfuric acid obtain stable colorimetric signal, and it easily influenced a colored sample. In order address this problem, new using zeolite imidazolate skeleton-8...

two series (a and b) of n- substituted heteroaromatic compounds related to clotrimazole were synthesized. imidazole ring of the clotrimazole was replaced by 2-methylimidazole in series a, and by 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole in series b. o-cholortrityl moiety of clotrimazole was also replaced by trityl, mono or dimethoxy trityl. chemical structures of all the new compounds were confirmed by spec-tr...

Abstract Background Despite the increasing interest in combination therapy for treatment of cancer, controlled delivery different therapeutics with high body-clearance efficacy and cancer cell specificity remained a great challenge. In this study, novel codelivery system was synthesized through one-pot coordination-driven self-assembly 2-methylimidazole, zinc ion chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubi...

In this work, a novel dual-curing procedure has been developed. It is combination of first radical UV-initiated thiol-(meth)acrylate reaction, followed by second thermal thiol-epoxy step catalysed base. Since (meth)acrylates can lead to homopolymerization mechanism, the amount thiol be optimized reach cross-linked materials with Tgs above room temperature and good mechanical performance. should...

Epigenetic modifications that govern the gene expression are often overlooked with the design of artificial genetic switches. N-Methylpyrrole-N-methylimidazole (PI) hairpin polyamides are programmable small DNA binding molecules that have been studied in the context of gene regulation. Recently, we synthesized a library of compounds by conjugating PI polyamides with SAHA, a chromatin-modifier. ...
