Cytotoxic and apoptotic activities of novel Pd(II) complexes against human leukemia cell lines in vitro

In the investigation for alternative chemotherapeutic strategies against leukemia, Pd(II) complexes were synthesized and investigated for cytotoxic and apoptotic properties on two human leukemia cell lines (HL-60 and K562). Pd(II) complexes (Pd-5a and Pd-6a) with 5a and 6a as ligands were synthesized and characterized by ¹H-NMR and F-TIR. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was quantified using MTT method. Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase 3 gene expression levels were estimated using RT-qPCR. Here we show that Pd(II) complexes have important cytotoxic activity on human leukemia cell lines. RT-qPCR indicated that Bax and caspase 3 gene expression levels were increased after 24 h treatment with Pd-5a and Pd-6a complexes in both HL-60 and K562 cells at some selected dose. Furthermore, Bcl-2 gene expression level decreased after 24 h treatment with Pd-5a and Pd-6a complexes in K562 cells at all selected dose. In HL-60 cells, only one selected Pd-5a dose (25 µM) decreased the gene expression level of Bcl-2. The results obtained in the present investigation indicate that these two newly synthesized Pd(II) complexes have apoptotic effects at appropriate doses through caspase 3 and Bax genes and might represent a novel potentially active agents for the management of human leukemia cell lines.

Iterative approximation of fixed points of Prešić operators on partial metric spaces

We study the convergence of the Pre?i? type k‐step iterative method for a class of operators satisfying Pre?i? type contractive conditions on the setting of partial metric spaces. Some examples are presented to illustrate our obtained results. As applications of the presented convergence theorems, we derive global attractivity results for a class of matrix difference equations. Numerical experiments are also presented to illustrate the theoretical findings.     

Cyclo[2]benzimidazole: luminescence turn-on sensing of anions

Cyclo[2]benzimidazole is a new host for anions that turns on its luminescence up to 150 fold upon binding. Photoexcited cyclo[2]benzimidazole undergoes an efficient non-radiative deactivation through an excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer (ESIPT) mechanism. Upon binding an anion, the ESIPT pathway is blocked, resulting in an increase in the luminescence efficiency.     

Substitution and Solvent Effect of Some Substituted Hydroxy Schiff Bases

Abstract

The uv-vis spectra of eight ortho-hydroxy- andpara-hydroxy schiff bases were recorded in different solvents. Inductive and resonance effect of the substituents affect the electronic spectra of those molecules, while, intra-molecular hydrogen bond formation or breakage have little effect on the uv-visible spectra.     

Tautomerism in Chlorinated O-Hydroxyschiff Bases: Effect of Chlorine Atom Substitution

The UV spectra of some chlorinated o-hydroxyschiff bases were studied in different solvents. It was found that schiff bases derived from condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 5-chloro-2-hydroxy benzaldehyde with substituted aniline exist as enol form, whereas schiff bases derived from the condensation of 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with substituted aniline exist as enol form, whereas schiff bases derived from the condensation of 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with aniline exist as keto form especially in dimethyl sulfoxide. The ratio of enol/keto isomers were calculated for these schiff bases.

A Schur test for weighted mixed-norm spaces

Summary We prove a Schur test for mixed-norm spaces L^p,q, 1 < p,q < ∞. Also we prove another version of the Schur test for discrete weighted mixed-norm spaces l^p,q _w, 1 < p,q < ∞, and wis a weight. We show that if w ₁, and w ₂are two weight functions on the index sets Jx Iand K x Lrespectively, and A =(a _{ji, kl} ) _{j∈J, i∈I, k∈K, l∈L} is an infinite matrix, then under certain conditions, Ais a bounded operator from l^p,q _w1, 1 < p,q < ∞ to l^p,q _w2. This will be a key result in proving boundedness of important operators in our work in time-frequency analysis.</o:p>

Conformational preference of substituted naphthalenes. 2—proton–proton coupling constants of hydroxy derivatives of naphthalene

Long-range proton–proton coupling constants between the hydroxy proton and ring protons were employed to deduce the conformational preferences of 1- and 2-hydroxynaphthalene. 2,6-Dibromo-1,5-dihydroxy-naphthalene, 2-acetyl-1-hydroxynaphthalene, 1,6-dibromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde were used as model compounds. Molecular orbital calculations at the CNDO/2 and INDO level were used to calculate the energy and the long-range proton–proton coupling of different conformers of 1- and 2-hydroxynaphthalene.
