AChE is an enzyme that is predominate in a healthy brain, while BChE is considered to play a minor role in regulating the levels of ACh (memory molecule) in the brain. In addition to setting the ACh level, these two enzymes also facilitate Aβ aggregation by forming stable complexes and participate in the abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein, which also contribute to the development of Al...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is the most common symptomatic primary antibody deficiency, characterized by reduced serum immunoglobulins levels and increased susceptibility to recurrent pyogenic infections. in this study, we evaluated cd40 ligand expression on stimulated versus unstimulated t-helper lymphocytes of nine common variable immunodeficient patients in comparison with fiftee...

in this study a new simple selective and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for determination of fe(iii) is described. it is based on the formation of a colored complex between ferric iron and ethyl maltol, a strong and highly selective ligand for fe(iii). after mixing sample and reagent, and incubating at the room temperature, fe(iii)-ethyl maltol complex was extracted with different solve...

A new unsymmetric thioether diamine N - ( 2 - ( 2 - aminophenylthio) ethyl) benzene - 1 , 2 - diamine was prepared through the nucleophilic substitution of cysteaminium chloride with 1 - chloro - 2 - nitrobenzene and then the nitro groups of prepared compuond converted to the amine by zinc powder and ammonium chloride. Then, unsymmetric Schiff bass ligand 2 - ((( 2 - (( 2 - (( 2 - (( 2 - hydrox...

This study aims to design some dual-target anticancer candidates, capable to act as an alkylating agent as well as a thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. The designed scaffold is a combination of nucleobase, amino acid and aziridine structures. The candidates are docked into TS and three DNA double strand structures and evaluated based on their binding interaction energies and ligand efficienci...

Ru3(μ-CO)3(CO)5-type clusters bound to the dinucleating PNNP expanded pincer ligand are described. Deprotonation of a methylene linker gives an anionic triruthenium cluster featuring dearomatized ligand. Interestingly, H2 activation by resulting appears not proceed through metal-ligand cooperativity.

A novel Schiff-base ligand (L: 2-[(4-chloro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-ylmethylene)-amino] propionic acid) was prepared from the reaction of 4-chloro3-formylcoumarin and alanine amino acid. Copper (II) complex was synthesized from the reaction of the ligand with Cu (OAc)2. H2O in ethanol. The ligand and its metal complex were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), ICP, thermal analysis (TGA), Fouri...

Zinc (II) complex, [Zn(25-MBTSC)2I2] (1), where (25-MBTSC = (E)-2-(2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde) thiosemicarbazone, has been synthesized from the reaction of ZnI2 with 25-MBTSC in methanol as solvent at 25 ºC. It was characterized by elemental analysis (CHN) and is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system, with space group P-ī, having...

interference with microtubule polymerization results in cell cycle arrest leading to cell death. colchicine is a well-known microtubule polymerization inhibitor which does so by binding to a specific site on tubulin. a set of 3',4'-bis (substituted phenyl)-4'h-spiro[indene-2,5'-isoxazol]-1(3h)-one derivatives with known antiproliferative activities were evaluated for their t...
