Exact results of a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising chain with both longitude and transverse single-ion anisotropies

The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising chain with both longitude and transverse single-ion anisotropies Dz and Dx is solved exactly by means of a mapping to the spin-1/2 Ising chain with the alternating transverse fields and the Jordan-Wigner transformation. The analytical expressions of the quasi-particles' spectra Λk, the minimal energy gap Δ₀ for exciting a fermion quasi-particle, the minimal energy gap Δh for exciting a hole, and the ground state energy are obtained. The phase diagram of the ground state is also given. The results show that when Dz?0 for any finite value of Dx, there is no quantum critical point and the ground state is always in a spin ordered phase disregard of the boundary condition in the present system.     

Asymptotic Properties for a Semilinear Edge-Degenerate Parabolic Equation

The author deals with a semi-linear edge-degenerate parabolic equation, and proves that the solution increases exponentially under the initial energy J(u_0) ≤ d, where d is the mountain-pass level. Moreover, the author estimates the blow-up time and the blow-up rate for the solution under J(u_0) 0.     

Monochalcoplatin: An Actively Transported,Quickly Reducible,and Highly Potent PtIV Anticancer Prodrug

Recently, Pt^IV prodrugs have attracted much attention as the next generation of platinum‐based antineoplastic drug candidates. Here we report the discovery and evaluation of monochalcoplatin, a monocarboxylated Pt^IV prodrug that is among the most cytotoxic Pt^IV prodrugs to date. Compared with its dicarboxylated counterpart chalcoplatin, monochalcoplatin accumulates astonishingly effectively and rapidly in cancer cells, which is not ascribed to its lipophilicity. The prodrug is quickly reduced, causes DNA damage, and induces apoptosis, resulting in superior cytotoxicity with IC₅₀ values in the nanomolar range in both cisplatin‐sensitive and ‐resistant cells; these IC₅₀ values are up to 422‐fold higher than that of cisplatin. A detailed mechanistic study reveals that monochalcoplatin actively enters cells through a transporter‐mediated process. Moreover, monochalcoplatin shows significant antitumor activity in an in vivo colorectal tumor model. Our study implies a practical strategy for the design of more effective Pt^IV prodrugs to conquer drug resistance by tuning both cellular uptake pathways and activation processes.

Synthesis of a Au/silica/polymer trilayer composite and the corresponding hollow polymer microsphere with a movable Au core

Gold/silica/poly(N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide) (Au/SiO2/polyMBAAm) trilayer composite materials were prepared by distillation precipitation polymerization of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAAm) in the presence of Au/SiO2 particles as seeds, in which the seeds were prepared by a combination of gold-complexing and silane coupling agent with a further modified St?ber method. The polymerization of MBAAm was performed in neat acetonitrile with 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator to encapsulate the Au/SiO2 seeds driven by the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the hydroxyl group on the surface of the seeds and the amide unit of polyMBAAm without modification of the Au/SiO2 surface in the absence of any stabilizer or surfactant. Hollow polyMBAAm microspheres with movable Au cores were further developed by the selective removal of the middle silica layer with hydrofluoric acid. The resultant trilayer Au/SiO2/polyMBAAm composite and hollow polyMBAAm microspheres with movable Au cores were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The diffusion of chemicals across the polyMBAAm shell was investigated by a catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of sodium borohydride as a reductant.     

Front Cover: Synthesis,Characterization, and Cytotoxicity of a Reactive Platinum(IV) Monotrifluoromethyl Complex (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 3/2023)

Platinum-based complexes are among the most widely utilized cancer therapeutics. Current Pt(II) drugs face some challenges including toxicity and drug resistance. To solve these issues, great efforts have been devoted to developing nonclassical platinum complexes, such as Pt(IV) prodrugs, that act via mechanisms distinct from those of the approved drugs. Compared with active Pt(II) counterparts, Pt(IV) complexes are relatively inert. Although direct interactions between Pt(IV) complexes and nucleotides have been reported, the reaction is slow due to the kinetic inertness of Pt(IV) complexes. Herein, we design and synthesize a Pt(IV) monotrifluoromethyl complex, in which the chloride ligand that is trans to trifluoromethyl ligand is reactive. The Pt(IV) monotrifluoromethyl complex is very stable in water but displays high reactivity towards various substrates including buffer components and 5’-dGMP. The study of reaction mechanism reveals that this Pt(IV) complex reacts with phosphate via S_N2 nucleophilic substitution pathway, which is different from Pt(II) drugs. The Pt(IV) monotrifluoromethyl complex is cytotoxic in human ovarian cancer cells. Our work reports an example of a reactive organometallic Pt(IV) complex that can directly interact with nucleophiles and implies its potential as an anticancer agent.     

Fluorous Tagged Peptides for Intracellular Delivery and Biomedical Imaging

Fluorous tagged peptides have shown promising features for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and multimodal imaging. The bioconjugation of fluoroalkyl ligands onto cargo peptides greatly enhances their proteolytic stability and membrane penetration via a proposed “fluorine effect”. The tagged peptides also efficiently deliver other biomolecules such as DNA and siRNA into cells via a co-assembly strategy. The fluoroalkyl chains on peptides with antifouling properties enable efficient gene delivery in the presence of serum proteins. Besides intracellular biomolecule delivery, the amphiphilic peptides can be used to stabilized perfluorocarbon-filled microbubbles for ultrasound imaging. The fluorine nucleus on fluoroalkyls provides intrinsic probes for background-free magnetic resonance imaging. Labeling of fluorous tags with radionuclide ¹⁸F also allows tracing the biodistribution of peptides via positron emission tomography imaging. This mini-review will discuss properties and mechanism of the fluorous tagged peptides in these applications.

Local probe and conduction distribution of proton exchange membranes

Proton exchange membranes (Nafion) have been studied using current sensing atomic force microscopy to examine the correlation between the surface morphology and the ionic domains, and to probe the local ionic conduction distribution in the membranes. It is found that the local ionic conduction generated from the current sensing images follows a Gaussian-like distribution, with the peak value and the width of the distribution increasing with the relative humidity in the sample chamber and, thus, the water content in the membranes. Two types of Nafion membranes, Nafion 112 and Nafion 117, were studied using the method. The implications of the distribution in relation to the ionic conducting channels in the membranes are discussed.
