- ItemDicarbonyl-{3,3′-di-tert-butyl-5,5′-di-methoxy-2, 2′-bis[(4,4,5,5-tetraphenyl-1,3,2-dioxaphospho-lan-2-yl)-oxy-κP] biphen-yl}hydridorhodium(I) diethyl ether monosolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2012) Selent, D.; Spannenberg, A.; Börner, A.In the title compound, [Rh(C 74H 68O 8P2)H(CO) 2]·C 4H 10O, the C 2HP 2 coordination set at the Rh I ion is arranged in a distorted trigonal-planar geometry with one P atom of the diphosphite mol-ecule and the H atom adopting the axial coordination sites.
- ItemEthyl 4-chloro-2′-fluoro-3-hydroxy-5-methylbiphenyl-2-carboxylate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2011) Adeel, M.; Langer, P.; Villinger, A.In the title compound, C 16H 14ClFO 3, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 71.50 (5)°. Due to an intramolecular O - H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group and the carbonyl O atom of the ethyl ester group, the ethyl ester group lies within the ring plane. The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular C - H⋯O and C - H⋯F interactions.
- Item(Isopropyl-amino)(meth-yl)diphenyl-phospho-nium iodide(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2011) Peulecke, N.; Peitz, S.; Müller, B.H.; Spannenberg, A.; Rosenthal, U.The title compound, C 16H 21NP +· I -, was obtained by the reaction of PH 2PN( iPr)P(Ph)N( iPr)H with MeI involving cleavage of one of the P - N bonds in diethyl ether. The two phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 82.98 (5)°. A weak donor-acceptor N - H⋯I inter-action is observed.
- ItemCytochrome C oxidase Inhibition and Cold Plasma-derived Oxidants Synergize in Melanoma Cell Death Induction([London] : Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature, 2018-8-24) Gandhirajan, Rajesh Kumar; Rödder, Katrin; Bodnar, Yana; Pasqual-Melo, Gabriella; Emmert, Steffen; Griguer, Corinne E.; Weltmann, Klaus-Dieter; Bekeschus, SanderDespite striking advances in the treatment of metastasized melanoma, the disease is often still fatal. Attention is therefore paid towards combinational regimens. Oxidants endogenously produced in mitochondria are currently targeted in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Cytotoxic synergism of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) inhibition in conjunction with addition of exogenous oxidants in 2D and 3D melanoma cell culture models were examined. Murine (B16) and human SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells exposed to low-dose CcO inhibitors (potassium cyanide or sodium azide) or exogenous oxidants alone were non-toxic. However, we identified a potent cytotoxic synergism upon CcO inhibition and plasma-derived oxidants that led to rapid onset of caspase-independent melanoma cell death. This was mediated by mitochondrial dysfunction induced by superoxide elevation and ATP depletion. This observation was validated by siRNA-mediated knockdown of COX4I1 in SK-MEL-28 cells with cytotoxicity in the presence of exogenous oxidants. Similar effects were obtained with ADDA 5, a recently identified specific inhibitor of CcO activity showing low toxicity in vivo. Human keratinocytes were not affected by this combinational treatment, suggesting selective effects on melanoma cells. Hence, targeting mitochondrial CcO activity in conjunction with exogenous pro oxidant therapies may constitute a new and effective melanoma treatment modality.
- ItemVolume fraction determination of binary liquid mixtures by measurement of the equalization wavelength(Basel : MDPI, 2010) Martincek, I.; Pudis, D.; Kacik, D.; Schuster, K.A method for determination of the volume fraction in binary liquid mixtures by measurement of the equalization wavelength of intermodal interference of modes LP01 and LP11 in a liquid core optical fiber is presented in this paper. This method was studied using a liquid core optical fiber with fused silica cladding and a core made up of a binary silicon oil/chloroform liquid mixture with different volume fractions of chloroform. The interference technique used allows us to determine the chloroform volume fraction in the binary mixture with accuracy better than 0.1%. One of the most attractive advantages of presented method is very small volume of investigated mixture needed, as only a few hundred picoliters are necessary for reliable results. © 2010 by the authors.
- ItemMagnetically Controllable Polymer Nanotubes from a Cyclized Crosslinker for Site-Specific Delivery of Doxorubicin([London] : Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature, 2015) Newland, Ben; Leupelt, Daniel; Zheng, Yu; Thomas, Laurent S.V.; Werner, Carsten; Steinhart, Martin; Wang, WenxinExternally controlled site specific drug delivery could potentially provide a means of reducing drug related side effects whilst maintaining, or perhaps increasing therapeutic efficiency. The aim of this work was to develop a nanoscale drug carrier, which could be loaded with an anti-cancer drug and be directed by an external magnetic field. Using a single, commercially available monomer and a simple one-pot reaction process, a polymer was synthesized and crosslinked within the pores of an anodized aluminum oxide template. These polymer nanotubes (PNT) could be functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles for magnetic manipulation, without affecting the large internal pore, or inherent low toxicity. Using an external magnetic field the nanotubes could be regionally concentrated, leaving areas devoid of nanotubes. Lastly, doxorubicin could be loaded to the PNTs, causing increased toxicity towards neuroblastoma cells, rendering a platform technology now ready for adaptation with different nanoparticles, degradable pre-polymers and various therapeutics.
- ItemLabel free sensing of creatinine using a 6 GHz CMOS near-field dielectric immunosensor(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Guha, S.; Warsinke, A.; Tientcheu, Ch.M.; Schmalz, K.; Meliani, C.; Wenger, Ch.In this work we present a CMOS high frequency direct immunosensor operating at 6 GHz (C-band) for label free determination of creatinine. The sensor is fabricated in standard 0.13 μm SiGe:C BiCMOS process. The report also demonstrates the ability to immobilize creatinine molecules on a Si3N4 passivation layer of the standard BiCMOS/CMOS process, therefore, evading any further need of cumbersome post processing of the fabricated sensor chip. The sensor is based on capacitive detection of the amount of non-creatinine bound antibodies binding to an immobilized creatinine layer on the passivated sensor. The chip bound antibody amount in turn corresponds indirectly to the creatinine concentration used in the incubation phase. The determination of creatinine in the concentration range of 0.88–880 μM is successfully demonstrated in this work. A sensitivity of 35 MHz/10 fold increase in creatinine concentration (during incubation) at the centre frequency of 6 GHz is gained by the immunosensor. The results are compared with a standard optical measurement technique and the dynamic range and sensitivity is of the order of the established optical indication technique. The C-band immunosensor chip comprising an area of 0.3 mm2 reduces the sensing area considerably, therefore, requiring a sample volume as low as 2 μl. The small analyte sample volume and label free approach also reduce the experimental costs in addition to the low fabrication costs offered by the batch fabrication technique of CMOS/BiCMOS process.
