An Efficient Route for Synthesis of Macrocyclic Gadolinium Complexes and Their Role in Medical Applications

The coordination science of gadolinium has been broadly examined in the ongoing years in light of the fact that the subsequent buildings can be advantageously utilized as a helpful devices in numerous fields going from the logical science, hydrometallurgy, science and medication. It is accounted for that the combination of the gadolinium complexes and concentrate their spectroscopic properties utilizing infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectroscopy (MS), electron paramagnetic reverberation (EPR) and dc magnetic susceptibility techniques. MRI contrast agents have become a basic piece of present modern magnetic resonance imaging. It has been discovered that the expansion of complexity specialists as a rule improves affectability as well as explicitness of inward body structures

Zastosowanie niebezpiecznych i toksycznych dla środowiska egzoszkieletów skorupiaków morskich w syntezie N-deacetylowanej chityny

High molecular weight chitosan was synthesized from shrimp shells. Chemical structure of chitosan was confirmed using FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and SEM analyses. Physicochemical properties of chitosan such as molecular weight (800 000 g/mol), deacetylation degree (80%), ash content (1%) indicating effectiveness of demineralization step in removing minerals, water binding capacity (4220%), and fat binding capacity (537%), were determined. FT-IR spectra exhibited characteristic joint band at 3365 cm-1 due to –OH and –NH2 regarding to the conversion of chitin acetyl group to NH2 of chitosan.Z muszli krewetek zsyntetyzowano chitozan o wysokiej masie cząsteczkowej. Strukturę chemiczną chitozanu potwierdzono metodami FT-IR, XRD, TGA i SEM. Określono właściwości fizykochemiczne chitozanu takie jak masa cząsteczkowa (800 000 g/mol), stopień deacetylacji (80%), wskazu jącą na skuteczność procesu demineralizacji zawartość popiołów (1%), zdolność wiązania wody (4220%) i zdolność wiązania tłuszczu (537%). Widma FT-IR wykazały charakterystyczne pasmo przy liczbie falowej 3365 cm-1, pochodzące od grup –OH i–NH2, wynikające z przekształcenia grupy acetylowej chityny w NH2 chitozanu

Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Screening of Novel Porphyrin Derivatives

A series of porphyrin derivatives 2a–f was synthesized, namely, 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[p-methoxyphenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2a), 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[2,6-dichloro-phenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2b), 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2c), 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[3,4-dimethoxyphenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2d), 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[2,4-dichlorophenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2e), and 5,10,15,20-mesotetrakis[3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl]-21H,23H-porphyrin (2f), in high yields using a new method via a capping mechanism. These dyes were used as a model to study the free radical-induced damage of biological membranes and the protective effects of these porphyrins. It was demonstrated that these dyes were effective in the inhibition of the free radical-induced oxidative haemolysis of rat blood cells. Dyes 2d and 2f which bear methoxy functionality exhibited markedly higher antihaemolysis activity than the other analogs. Molecular modeling methods using ZINDO/INDO-1, with a configuration interaction of 26, and TD-DFT using the energy functional B3LYP and the basis set DGTZVP were used to study the vertical electronic excitations of porphyrins 2a–f and it was shown that the calculated using TD-DFT method was in excellent agreement with the experimental results, while the ZINDO method was inferior. Moreover, excellent correlation between the LUMO energy and cytotoxicity of dyes 2a–f was found
