Preparation of Platinum(II) Complexes with 1-β-D-Ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide and its Deoxy-analogue

Much attention is currently focused on the design of new generations of platinum anti-cancer complexes to prevent resistance of cisplatin. We have developed a new platinum-based antitumor agent with broad-spectrum antiviral activity. The cis-[Pt(DMSO)2Cl2] and K[Pt (DMSO) Cl3] reacted with 1-??-D-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (ribavirin) and its deoxy-analogue (deoxyribavirin) to give the coordinated complexes which exhibited activity against both DNA and RNA viruses1.

Study of D_s~±→μ~±V_μ at Belle

We present a preliminary measurement of the B(D_s→μν_μ)with the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider.We select D~s→μV_μdecays with a method that provides a high-purity of the selected sample and an absolute measurement of the branching fraction.The results are based on a data sample of 550 fb~(-1)and are compared to similar measurements by other experiments as well as to the predictions of LQCD.We conclude with short prospects for improvements in the accuracy of the measurement.
