New organotin(IV) mono- and bis-carboxylate complexes derivatives of Bexarotene (bex), viz. R3Sn(bex) (where R = Ph (1); Cy (2); nBu (3)), and R2Sn(bex)2 (where R = Et (4), tBu (5), Ph (6)) were synthesized. Compounds were fully characterized using spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structure for the Ph3Sn(bex) (1) in crystalline form was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical properties of tin complexes and bexarotene were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The target compounds are characterized by the high oxidation potentials in the mixture of aprotic solvents. The anti/prooxidant activity of the complexes and bexarotene in the lipid peroxidation process and in the reaction of the DNA oxidative damage was studied in vitro. Excellent cell growth inhibition against A549, HCT 116 and MCF-7 cancer cells was observed for triorganotin (IV) carboxylates with IC50 values mostly under the submicromolar concentration range and there are more effective than bexarotene or cisplatin

Rational design of gold-based nanocarriers for neurotherapeutics requires atomic-scale understanding of drug-material interactions. Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate levodopa (L-DOPA) adsorption on small gold clusters (Au2–Au4) with cationic, neutral, and anionic charges, with additional validation on a larger Au10 cluster using multiple low-energy isomers. Binding free energies (ΔGbind), charge transfer, and electronic descriptors ...

Исследованы редокс-свойства компонента зеленого чая галлата эпигаллокатехина (EGCG) in vitro, и испытано его действие на клетки растений (гороха). EGCG проявлял свойства как про-, так и антиоксиданта. В растворах EGCG окислялся кислородом при физиологических (слабощелочных) значениях pH. Снижение pH замедляло этот процесс. Окисление EGCG сопровождалось образованием O2–• и H2O2. С другой стороны, EGCG функционировал в качестве донора электронов для пероксидазы и в комбинации с ней утилизировал H2O2. При воздействии на клетки гороха (высечки листьев или эпидермис) EGCG подавлял дыхание, снижал ...
