Four metal complexes, IL-OPPh2-Ru-p-cymene (3) , IL-OPPh2-Ru-benzene (4) , IL-OPPh2-Ir-Cp* (5) , IL-OPPh2-Rh-COD (6) , have been evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and reducing power activity. Maximum scavenging activity (71.43%) was obtained with IL-OPPh2-Ru-p-cymene, whereas IL-OPPh2-Rh-COD showed the highest reducing power ability. The complexes were also studied for their antimicrobial activity against three Gram-positive and three Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, DNA binding of the complexes was evaluated using calf thymus DNA. Both Ru(II) complexes exhibited good DNA-binding activity while the other complexes did not have any activity. Furthermore, ab initio quantum calculations of four complexes were also carried out using density functional theory to better understand their chemical behaviors. 相似文献
We present a formula to enumerate non-isomorphic circulant digraphs of order n with connection sets of cardinality 2. This formula simplifies to C(n,2)=3×2a−1−4 in the case when n=2a(a≥3), and when n=pa(where p is an odd prime and a≥1). The number of non-isomorphic directed double networks are also enumerated. 相似文献
A colorimetric method is presented for the determination of the antibiotic ofloxacin (OFL) in aqueous solution. It is based on the use of an aptamer and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). In the absence of OFL, the AuNPs are wrapped by the aptamer and maintain dispersed even at the high NaCl concentrations. The solution with colloidally dispersed AuNPs remains red and has an absorption peak at 520 nm. In the presence of OFL, it will bind to the aptamer which is then released from the AuNPs. Hence, AuNPs will aggregate in the salt solution, and color gradually turns to blue, with a new absorption peak at 650 nm. This convenient and specific colorimetric assay for OFL has a linear response in the 20 to 400 nM OFL concentration range and a 3.4 nM detection limit. The method has a large application potential for OFL detection in environmental and biological samples.
Graphical abstract Schematic of a sensitive and simple colorimetric aptasensor for ofloxacin (OFL) detection in tap water and synthesic urine. The assay is based on the salt-induced aggregation of gold nanoparticles which results in a color change from red to purple.
This paper presents a model for evaluation of effective thermal conductivity for the composites with carbon nanotubes (CNT)
having log-normal function of distribution of CNT, with direct effect over depolarization factor. The CNT are considered having
cylindrical shape with L/d ratio very high. The model parameters are calculated in function of the data from literature. The influence of volume fraction
of reinforced materials, of the aspect ratio of the particles included and of the ratio of the two thermal conductivities
is presented. 相似文献
