Ionic and electronic conductivity in CaTi1−xFexO3−δ (x=0.1–0.3)

Electrical conductivity measurements on CaTi_1?xFe_xO_3?δ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were performed on polycrystalline pressed and sintered tablets using the van der Pauw four point method in controlled atmospheres. The results were interpreted to reflect n-type, ionic and p-type conductivity at different oxygen partial pressures. An increasing iron content increases the number of oxygen vacancies and increases the ionic conductivity at high temperatures, but also increases the tendency of ordering, which suppresses the ionic conductivity at more moderate temperatures. These findings are in accordance with the phase diagram of the system CaTiO₃-CaFeO_2.5 based on X-ray and Mössbauer studies.

The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pcab with a = 15.6802(15), b = 28.953(3), c = 11.8419(19) Å and V = 5376.2(11) ų. The reaction of 4 with dppm (Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) in THF at room temperature affords in good yields [RuRh(μ‐CO)(CO)₃(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 7 ). 7 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 9.7503(19), b = 13.399(3), c = 15.823(3) Å and V = 1854.6 ų. Moreover single crystals of [CoRh(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 9 ) could be obtained and the single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis revealed that 9 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with a = 11.611(2), b = 13.333(2), c = 18.186(3) Å and V = 2693.0(8) ų.     

An Investigation into PEO/Crosslinked‐Silicone Semi‐Interpenetrating Polymer Network Using 1H Solid‐State NMR Spectroscopy under Fast MAS

Microstructure and phase behavior of a semi‐interpenetrating polymer network consisting of 10% poly(ethylene oxide) and 90% crosslinked‐silicone have been studied using various ¹H solid‐state NMR methods under fast magic angle spinning in combination with well‐known polymer characterization techniques. Both, ¹H double‐quantum MAS NMR spectroscopy as well as NOESY MAS measurements indicate a mixing of the two components on a molecular level.

Cannabis sativa Extract Induces Apoptosis in Human Pancreatic 3D Cancer Models: Importance of Major Antioxidant Molecules Present Therein

In recent years, interest in Cannabis sativa L. has been rising, as legislation is moving in the right direction. This plant has been known and used for thousands of years for its many active ingredients that lead to various therapeutic effects (pain management, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc.). In this report, our objective was to optimize a method for the extraction of cannabinoids from a clone of Cannabis sativa L. #138 resulting from an agronomic test (LaFleur, Angers, FR). Thus, we wished to identify compounds with anticancer activity on human pancreatic tumor cell lines. Three static maceration procedures, with different extraction parameters, were compared based on their median inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) values and cannabinoid extraction yield. As CBD emerged as the molecule responsible for inducing apoptosis in the human pancreatic cancer cell line, a CBD-rich cannabis strain remains attractive for therapeutic applications. Additionally, while gemcitabine, a gold standard drug in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, only triggers cell cycle arrest in G0/G1, CBD also activates the cell signaling cascade to lead to programmed cell death. Our results emphasize the potential of natural products issued from medicinal hemp for pancreatic cancer therapy, as they lead to an accumulation of intracellular superoxide ions, affect the mitochondrial membrane potential, induce G1 cell cycle arrest, and ultimately drive the pancreatic cancer cell to lethal apoptosis.
