The title compound, {[BaPt(CN)(4)(C(12)H(26)N(2)O(4))]·0.5H(2)O}(n), is a two-dimensional coordination polymer in which the sheets are oriented approximately parallel to the (01) set of crystal planes. In the crystal structure, disordered water mol-ecules (half occupancy) connect the sheets into a three-dimensional network via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. An N-H⋯N inter-action is also ...

Taxol® (generic name – Paclitaxel), the most promising chemotherapeuticagent was isolated from bark of different Taxus sp. As species arethreatened with extinction (endangered in Himalaya), thus it is imperativeto develop alternate and sustainable method for commercialization scaleup production paclitaxel. In this respect, physical chemical parametersare effective important key points active co...

Reactions of a Pt(II)-diimine-based metalloligand Na(2)[Pt(CN)(2)(4,4'-dcbpy)] (4,4'-H(2)dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) with alkaline-earth metal salts Mg(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O, CaCl(2), SrCl(2)·6H(2)O, and BaBr(2)·2H(2)O in aqueous solution gave luminescent complexes formulated as [Mg(H(2)O)(5)][Pt(CN)(2)(4,4'-dcbpy)]·4H(2)O (MgPt-4·9H(2)O), {[Ca(H(2)O)(3)][Pt(CN)(2)(4,4'-dcbpy)]·3H(2)O}(∞...

Taxus cell suspension culture is a sustainable technology for the industrial production of paclitaxel (Taxol®), a highly modified diterpene anti-cancer agent. The methyl jasmonate (MJ)-mediated paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway is not fully characterized, making metabolic engineering efforts difficult. Here, promoters of seven genes (TASY, T5αH, DBAT, DBBT, PAM, BAPT, and DBTNBT), encoding enzyme...

BACKGROUND In bone metabolism, Ca(2+) disturbance and oxidative damage are the main biochemical factors related to pathology. Osteoblasts are bone-forming cells that also control bone endocrinology. Endocrine hormones and proteins are matured, folded, and secreted in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER stress has emerged as a new pathological mechanism to explain bone disturbance. Here we studie...
