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...

A new tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) capped tripodal Schiff base ligand has been developed by mimicking structural features of a natural siderophore, Bacillibactin, by substituting the catechol units with salicylaldehyde and employing amino acid as spacer. Synthesis of the ligand N-[2-[bis[2-[[2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]acetyl] amino]ethyl]amino]ethyl]-2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]...

A liquid membrane containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2) shows specificity for K ion in transport while diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (1) was selective for Na over K . As an extractant, ligand 2 exhibited pronounced extraction selectivity for K over Na in comparison with ligand 1

phosphoryl containing ligand tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (topo) in dichloromethane has been used as an extracting agent for tetravalent thorium and trivalent europium ions from their 1 m sodium nitrates. the equilibrium data reveal that both ions are extracted as the complexes at 1:3 metal/ligand ratio. the values of conditional extraction equilibrium constant (kex) show the superior extractive ...

hyper-igm syndromes are characterized by profound reduction of serum igg, iga, and ige levels with normal or increased concentrations of serum igm. cd40 ligand deficiency is x-linked form of the disease, which results in a lack of immunoglobulin class switching from igm to igg in b cells. in addition to the recurrent infections, a number of patients suffer from neutropenia. there are some evide...

The bleomycin (BLM) family of glycopeptide-derived antitumor antibiotics consists of BLMs, tallysomycins (TLMs), phleomycins (PLMs), and zorbamycin (ZBM). The self-resistant elements BlmB and TlmB, discovered from the BLM- and TLM-producing organisms Streptomyces verticillus ATCC15003 and Streptoalloteichus hindustanus E465-94 ATCC31158, respectively, are N-acetyltransferases that provide resis...
