Synthesis and anticancer activity evaluation of 3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-yl)-1H-indole-carboxylic acids derivatives

Abstract

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of 1-oxo-9H-thiopyrano[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxylic acids and dimerized 3-(4-carboxy-1H-3-indolyl)-2-propenoic acids via alkaline hydrolysis of 3-(rhodanin-5-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids derivatives was elaborated. Anticancer activity screening in NCI60-cell lines assay allowed identification of 5-fluoro-3-(4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-5-ylidenemethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester 2a with significant antimitotic activity at micromolar and submicromolar concentrations.

Inverse relation between photocurrent and absorption layer thickness in polymer solar cells

Organic solar cells based on polymer–fullerene bulk heterojunctions were optimised with respect to the short circuit photocurrent by means of optical modelling. Due to interference effects present in the thin film multilayer device, an inverse relation between active layer thickness and photocurrent was predicted and experimentally verified. Optimised photovoltaic devices yield power conversion efficiencies of 4%. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

无创性血糖检测仍是糖尿病患者护理安全舒适的现实科学任务。本文研究了血糖光学特性与血糖浓度之间的相关性。用时域THz光谱研究了全血在0.3~0.5 THz频率范围内的透射谱。在注射胰岛素后的短时间内,由同一糖尿病患者产生了生物样品。得到了血液光学特性的频散特性。基于频散,给出了血糖浓度与折射率和介电常数的关系式。这项工作是复杂研究的一部分,重点是无创葡萄糖测量技术的发展。记录血糖水平与血液光学参数之间的依赖关系,使得将来可以使用反射光谱技术进行无创血糖水平检测。     

Novel approaches in spectroscopy of interparticle interactions. Raman line profiles and dynamics in liquids and glasses

A novel fitting method implemented recently in vibrational spectroscopy of disordered systems is briefly overviewed. It enables modelling of real line profiles intermediate between Lorentzian and Gaussian by an analytical function which has an analytical counterpart in the time domain. Numerous applications of this theoretical approach are discussed.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of the type‐I clathrates K8AlxSn46–x and Rb8AlxSn46–x (x ≃ 6.4–9.7)

Exploratory studies in the systems A–Al–Sn (A = K and Rb) yielded the clathrates K₈Al_xSn_46–x (potassium aluminium stannide) and Rb₈Al_xSn_46–x (rubidium aluminium stannide), both with the cubic type‐I structure (space group Pmn, No. 223; a ? 12.0 Å). The Al:Sn ratio is close to the idealized A₈Al₈Sn₃₈ composition and it is shown that it can be varied slightly, in the range of ca ±1.5, depending on the experimental conditions. Both the (Sn,Al)₂₀ and the (Sn,Al)₂₄ cages in the structure are fully occupied by the guest alkali metal atoms, i.e. K or Rb. The A₈Al₈Sn₃₈ formula has a valence electron count that obeys the valence rules and represents an intrinsic semiconductor, while the experimentally determined compositions A₈Al_8±xSn_38?x suggest the synthesized materials to be nearly charge‐balanced Zintl phases, i.e. they are likely to behave as heavily doped p‐ or n‐type semiconductors.     

“Anomalous” pseudodielectric function of GaN: Experiment, modelling and application to the study of surface properties

Studying GaN films exposed to Ar plasma by spectroscopic ellipsometry and reflectance, we found an “anomalous” pseudodielectric function (PDF) for which the imaginary part is significantly higher as compared to GaN, while the real part of the PDF remains close to the value for GaN. In addition, a higher reflectance at low angles of incidence was observed. The data are explained in terms of a thin highly absorbing surface layer arising due to non-stoichiometry in the near-surface region. Comparison to samples grown by molecular beam epitaxy shows that similar mechanisms are responsible for optical properties of the surfaces of films obtained under Ga-rich conditions.
