Synthesis and structural characterization of benzyl-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene platinum complexes: Dramatic substituent effect on anti-cancer activity
International audienceA series of platinum (II) complexes bearing N-heterocyclic carbene NHC ligands functionalized by various benzyl moieties were synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of two complexes has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies on single crystals. Investigation of in vitro cytotoxic activities against various cancer cell lines revealed a strong substituent effect: IC50 as low as 0.005âŻÎŒM were obtained depending on the substituent on the benzyl moiety
Modulation of the structural information in shape-defined heterocyclic strands: the case of a (pyridine-hydrazone)âpyrazine ligand
Metal ions (Ag, Cd, Eu, Sm) and protons can, through coordination and protonation, modulate in three specific ways the structural information contained in the pyrazine-based heterocyclic strand (obtained from 2,5-bis(methylhydrazino)pyrazine and 2 equivalents of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde), thus generating two linear rod-like conformations and a bent one. This conformational diversity is associated with a structural one that consists of two diprotonated forms ( and ), a polymeric architecture , two rack-like complexes and and a grid-like structure ()
Crystal structures of a copper(II) and the isotypic nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes of the ligand (E)-1-[(2,4,6-triÂbromoÂphenÂyl)diazenÂyl]naphthalen-2-ol
In the copper(II) complex, bisÂ{(E)-1-[(2,4,6-triÂbromoÂphenÂyl)diazenÂyl]naphÂthalen-2- olato}copper(II), [Cu(CââHâBrâNâO)â], (I), the metal cation is coordÂinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate (E)-1-[(2,4,6-triÂbromoÂphenÂyl)diazenÂyl]naphthalen-2-olate ligands, forming a slightly distorted square-planar environment. In one of the ligands, the triÂbromoÂbenzene ring is inclined to the naphthalene ring system by 37.4 (5)°, creating a weak intraÂmolecular Cu...Br interÂaction [3.134 (2) Ă
], while in the other ligand, the triÂbromoÂbenzene ring is inclined to the naphthalene ring system by 72.1 (6)°. In the isotypic nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes, namely bisÂ{(E)-1-[(2,4,6-triÂbromoÂphenÂyl)diazen yl]naphthalen-2-olato}nickel(II), [Ni(CââHâBrâNâO)â], (II), and bisÂ{(E)-1- [(2,4,6-triÂbromoÂphenÂyl)diazenÂyl]naphthalen-2-olato}palladium(II), [Pd(CââHâBrâNâO)â], (III), respectively, the metal atoms are located on centres of inversion, hence the metal coordination spheres have perfect square-planar geometries. The triÂbromoÂbenzene rings are inclined to the naphthalene ring systems by 80.79 (18)° in (II) and by 80.8 (3)° in (III). In the crystal of (I), molÂecules are linked by C-H...Br hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. The chains are linked by C-H...Pi interÂactions, forming sheets parallel to (011). In the crystals of (II) and (III), molÂecules are linked by C-H...Pi interÂactions, forming slabs parallel to (10-1). For the copper(II) complex (I), a region of disordered electron density was corrected for using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18]. The formula mass and unit-cell characteristics of the disordered solvent molÂecules were not taken into account during refinement
Deep-Learning Assessed Muscular Hypodensity Independently Predicts Mortality in DLBCL Patients Younger Than 60 Years.
[en] BACKGROUND: Muscle depletion (MD) assessed by computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be a predictive marker in solid tumors, but has not been assessed in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Despite software improvements, MD measurement remains highly time-consuming and cannot be used in clinical practice.
METHODS: This study reports the development of a Deep-Learning automatic segmentation algorithm (DLASA) to measure MD, and investigate its predictive value in a cohort of 656 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients included in the GAINED phase III prospective trial (NCT01659099).
RESULTS: After training on a series of 190 patients, the DLASA achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.97 ± 0.03. In the cohort, the median skeletal muscle index was 50.2 cm2/m2 and median muscle attenuation (MA) was 36.1 Hounsfield units (HU). No impact of sarcopenia was found on either progression free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). Muscular hypodensity, defined as MA below the tenth percentile according to sex, was associated with a lower OS and PFS, respectively (HR = 2.80 (95% CI 1.58-4.95), p < 0.001, and HR = 2.22 (95% CI 1.43-3.45), p < 0.001). Muscular hypodensity appears to be an independent risk factor for mortality in DLBCL and because of DLASA can be estimated in routine practice

1,1âČ-{(Hexane-1,6-diyl)bis[(azaniumylylidene)methanylylidene]}bis(naphthalen-2-olate)
The whole molecule of the title Schiff base compound, C28H28N2O2, is generated by inversion symmetry. It is formed from two units of ortho-hydroxynaphthaldehyde bridged with 1,6-diaminohexane. The N atoms are protonated and, thus, the structure is a bis-zwitterionic compound in the solid state. The zwitterion shows strong intramolecular NâH...O hydrogen bonds between the iminium N and the naphthalenolate O atoms
Crystal structure of 1,1âČ-{(dodecane-1,12-diyl)bis[(azaniumylylidene)methanylylidene]}bis(naphthalen-2-olate)
The title compound, C34H40N2O2, exists in an extended conformation and has crystallographically imposed centrosymmetry. The crystal packing can be described as being composed of parallel layers stacked along [010]. The zwitterionic structure is stabilized by an intramolecular NâH...O hydrogen-bond interaction
