Antiviral effect of micafungin on three strains of human rhinoviruses. H1HeLa cells were infected with human rhinovirus type 14 (A), 21 (B), or 71 (C) (100 CCID50) and immediately treated with indicated concentrations of micafungin. Three days after compound treatment antiviral activity was determined by the reduction of cytopathic effect using MTT assay. Cell viability of DMSO-treated cells was set to 0 % and that of uninfected cells was set to 100 %. (TIF 100 kb

Original Article

99 cases were operated while we could not use antibiotics. The author traced X-ray photos on paper and measured areas of the peeled cavities with a planimeter. Results were as follows. 1) 66 cases had increasing stage and the rates were more than 30 %. 2) Cases with good developments showed larger original areas (50〜100cm^2) and smaller increasing rates (less than 30 %). 3) Also their X-ray photos showed coinciding or almost coinciding lines of the apices of lungs and the bases of cavities, but we had to take precautions against suppuration when they showed a horizontal line several days after operation. 4) Most of too high degree of adhesion or thickning of pleura did not show good results. When we found a cord which we must manage with some procedures by pneumolysis we must attend to suppuration too. 5)We ought to resect 4th or 5th rib more than 20 cm and 5th or 4th several cm supplementary. 6) As a method of constriction we commend the INVAGI.NATION method. 7) The author noticed in a considerable number of cases that the areas of cavities increased again after they kept long balanced stages

A Chiral Pentadecanuclear Metallamacrocycle with a Sextuple Twisted Möbius Topology

A C3 symmetric pentadecanuclear metallamacrocycle was obtained by the self-assembly of a pentadentate bridging ligand, N-phenylpropiolyl salicylhydrazide (H3L), and a manganese ion. The combination of a narrow Cα−Cβ region near the bridging domain and a bulky phenyl end away from the bridging domain as a steric domain induced clockwise twists in the cycle. The resulting macrocycle with a sextuple twisted Möbius topology was stabilized by extensive weak intramolecular interactions

Porous Metal−Organic Frameworks Based on Metal−Organic Polyhedra with Nanosized Cavities as Supramolecular Building Blocks: Two-Fold Interpenetrating Primitive Cubic Networks of [Cu₆L₈]¹²⁺ Nanocages

Discrete metal−organic polyhedra (MOP) with nanosized cavities and/or clusters of MOP could be prepared when C3-symmetric facial ligands and a potential hexatopic Cu(II) ion are combined in the presence of perchlorate as a weak linker, while similar reaction conditions in the presence of a nitrate linker led to extended metal−organic frameworks made of MOP as supramolecular building blocks

Novel 48-Membered Hexadecanuclear and 60-Membered Icosanuclear Manganese Metallamacrocycles

Either an S8 symmetrical 48-membered hexadecanuclear or an S10 symmetrical 60-membered icosanuclear manganese metallamacrocycle was self-assembled using a manganese ion and a ditopic pentadentate ligand. This was either N-4-phenylbenzoylsalicylhydrazide (H3pbshz) containing a rigid rod-shaped, bulky biphenyl residue as a terminal N-acyl group or N-3,3-diphenylpropionylsalicylhydrazide (H3dppshz) containing a flexible β-branched N-acyl group, but with two sterically bulky phenyl residues at the Cβ position. The backbone of these metal−organic assemblies is a repeating unit consisting of a −[Mn−N−N−] link that extends to complete either the 48-membered cyclic structure involving 16 manganese(III) centers and 16 ditopic linker ligands or the 60-membered cyclic structure involving 20 manganese(III) centers and 20 ditopic linker ligands (depending on the ligand used). Even though the nuclearity of the metallamacrocycles was different, the successive manganese centers were in the same chiral sequence, ···(ΛΛΔΔ)(ΛΛΔΔ)···

Micafungin inhibits the replication of CVB replicon. (A) Vero cells were transfected with in vitro transcribed CVB3 replicon RNAs, instantly treated with indicated concentrations of micafungin for 8 hours and then assayed for firefly luciferase activity. Luciferase activity of DMSO-treated cells was set to 100 %. (B) At the same condition another set of CVB3 replicon-transfected cells were assayed for cell viability by using CellTiter-Glo reagent. Activity of DMSO-treated cells was set to 100 %. (TIF 100 kb
