Dibutyltin(IV) oxide reacts with the cantharidin analogue, 4′-(7-oxabicyclo [2,2,1]-5-heptane-2,3-dicarboximide) benzoic acid, A, to give the complexes [(p-C₈H₈NO₃-C₆H₄-COOBu₂Sn)₂O]₂ (1) and (p-C₈H₈NO₃-C₆H₄-COO)₂SnBu₂ (2) which had been characterized by IR and ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR. Single X-ray crystal structure analysis has been determined for compound (1), which was analogue to most other [(RCOOBu₂Sn)₂O]₂. The dimer features central of Bu₄Sn₂O₂ unit with the two Bu₂Sn groups being linked via bridging oxygen atom. Each tin atom adopts distorted trigonal bipyramidal structures via two carbons from a dibutyl moiety and three oxygen atoms from cantharidin derivative and bridging oxygen atom. In vitro tests show compounds 1 and 2 exhibit high cytotoxicity against P388 and HL-60.

Secretory immunoglobulin a from health y human mothers' milk catalyzes nucleic acid hydrolysis

The human milk secretory immune system is known to be the first line of protection for the newborn infant against various pathogens. Secretory IgA (sIgA), the typical immunoglobulin found in secretions, can fight infections through many mechanisms. Using different methods, we have shown that sIgA from the milk of healthy women possesses DNAse and RNAse activities. The catalytic center is localized in the light chain of catalytic sIgA, while the DNA-binding center is predominantly formed by its heavy chain. The enzymic properties and substrate specificity of catalytic sIgA distinguish it from other known DNases and RNases. It is reasonable to assume, that the milk DNA- and RNA-hydrolyzing antibodies are capable not only of neutralizing viral and bacterial nucleic acids by binding these antigens as well as by hydrolyzing them. The DNA-hydrolyzing activity of Abs raises the possibility that these catalytic Abs may provide protective functions for the newborn through the hydrolysis of viral and bacterial nucleic acids.     

Spectroelectrochemical Study of 9‐Substituted Acridines with Potential Antitumor Activity

The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behavior of 9‐substituted with ? CN and ? COOH acridine N‐oxides with potential antitumor activity was investigated. In SER spectra of the investigated compounds, the ring stretching vibration at 1568 cm^?1 for 9‐CN‐substituted compound respectively 1639 cm^?1 for 9‐COOH‐substituted compound was analyzed. Cyclic voltammograms indicates that the reduction potential ?0.766 V for ? CN substituted compound increase towards ?0.745 V for ? COOH substituted compound. The proposed theoretical method in the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy uses a reference redox dielectrode and a multielectrode containing the compound. To account for the change of electrochemical impedance we have considered two theoretical quantities: a pseudocapacitance and a pseudo inductance. Two possible arrangements of them: in series, respective in parallel can be used like criteria of drug classification.

Three new furan and pyran derivatives named aspericins A? C (1–3), as well as a known asperic acid (4), have been isolated from the marine‐derived fungus Rhizopus sp. 2‐PDA‐61. The complete ¹H and ¹³C NMR assignments for the new compounds were carried out using ¹H, ¹³C, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, HMBC, and NOESY NMR experiments. Compounds 1–3 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities on P388, A549, HL‐60, and BEL‐7420 cell lines by the MTT and SRB methods. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Diorganotin(IV) Complexes Bearing Binary Schiff‐Bases and Crystal Structure of nBu2SnL1

Four novel diorganotin(IV) complexes with general formula R₂SnL (R = nBu, PhCH₂) were synthesized from diorganotin dichlorides and binary Schiff‐bases (H₂L) containing N₂O₂ donor atoms in the presence of sodium ethoxide. The Schiff bases were prepared by reactions of o‐phenylenediamine with 3‐tert‐butyl‐2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylbenzaldehyde (H₂L¹) and salicylaldehyde (H₂L²) respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The solid‐state crystal structure of the compound nBu₂SnL¹ was determined by single‐crystal structural analysis.

New unsaturated polyesters as injectable drug carriers

New unsaturated polyesters of poly(fumaric acid-glycol-sebacic acid) copolymers and poly(maleic anhydride-glycol-sebacic acid) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of the corresponding mixed monomers: sebacic anhydride, fumaric acid or maleic anhydride and glycol. Methyl-methacrylate (MMA) was used as crosslinker and dimer acid was used as thinner.In vitro studies showed that those copolymers are degradable in phosphate buffer at 37 °C and poly(fumaric acid-glycol-sebacic acid) has proper drug release rate as drug carriers. The biocompatibility of poly(fumaric acid-glycol-sebacic acid) copolymers under mice skin was also evaluated; macroscopic observation and microscopic analysis demonstrated that the copolymer is biocompatible and well tolerated in vivo. The injected poly(fumaric acid-glycol-sebacic acid) [molar ratio M_{fumaric acid}:M_glycol:M_{sebacic acid} = 1.75:2.20:0.25] containing 5% adriamycin hydrochloride (ADM) in the mice bearing Sarcoma-180 tumor exhibited a good antitumor efficacy. The volume doubling time (VDT) (18 ± 2.5 days) of the tumor growth by this treatment was longer than that (7 ± 0.9 days) by the subcutaneous injection of ADM.     

Synthesis and investigation on the interaction with calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid of a novel fluorescent probe 7-oxobenzo[b][1,10]phenanthroline-12(7H)-sulfonic acid

In this paper, the synthetic route of a potential antitumor reagent, benzo[b][1,10] phenanthrolin-7(12H)-one (BPO), was improved. A sulfonic group was introduced to BPO to form a new compound, 7-oxobenzo[b][1,10]phenan-throline-12(7H)-sulfonic acid (OPSA), in order to enhance its water-solubility. The molecular structure of OPSA has been confirmed by IR, UV, MS, ¹H NMR and elements analysis. It was proved in our experiments that DNA could quench the fluorescence of OPSA and the maximum quenched intensity appeared at 408 nm (λ_ex = 284 nm). The quenched fluorescence intensity was proportional to the concentration of DNA. Based on this phenomenon, OPSA had been used as the fluorescent probe for detection of calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and the corresponding linear response range was from 1.0 to 150.0 μg mL⁻¹ and the limit of detection (LOD) was 3.8 ng mL⁻¹. Its interaction with ct-DNA was investigated by fluorescence, absorption and viscosity measurements. When binding to ct-DNA, OPSA showed obvious fluorescence quenching and the quenched intensity was stable with the presence and absence of NaCl. The absorption spectra of OPSA had no evidence of increasing or decreasing when ct-DNA was added. The viscosity of OPSA and ct-DNA mixture showed no obvious change comparing with the viscosity of ct-DNA along. The results suggested that the interaction between OPSA and ct-DNA was groove binding in nature. Scatchard plots constructed from fluorescence titration data gave a binding constant of 8.9 × 10⁵ L mol⁻¹ and a binding site size of 0.35 base pairs per bound drug molecule.
