Synthesis, characterization, x-ray structure, DNA cleavage, and cytotoxic activities of palladium(ii) complexes of 4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide and triphenylphosphane

Complexes of the type [PdX(PPh3)(1)]X [1 = 4-phenyl-3- thiosemicarbazide; X = Cl- (2), Br- (3), I- (4), and SCN- (5)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses and IR, UV/Vis, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structure of complex 4 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The binding of the complexes with a purine base (guanosine) was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, which showed the complexes to coordinate to guanosine through N7. A gel electrophoresis assay demonstrated the ability of 2-5 to cleave DNA plasmid. All the complexes were tested in vitro by means of the MTT assay for their cytotoxicity against two murine cell lines, LM3 (mammary adenocarcinoma) and LP07 (lung adenocarcinoma), and compared with cisplatin. Complexes 2-5 exhibited good cytotoxicity that surpasses that of cisplatin in the case of LM3. A series of thiosemicarbazide/phosphane palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized. These complexes are able to cleave DNA plasmid and show cytotoxicity against adenocarcinoma (mammary LM3 and lung LP07), surpassing the cytotoxicity of cisplatin in the case of LM3.

Synthesis, cytotoxic activity and DNA interaction of Pd(II) complexes bearing N′-methyl-3,5-dimethyl-1-thiocarbamoylpyrazole

A new series of complexes of general formulae [PdX2(tmdmPz)] {X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3), SCN (4); tmdmPz = N′-methyl-3,5-dimethyl-1- thiocarbamoylpyrazole} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivities, IR, 1H and 13C{ 1H} NMR spectroscopy. In these complexes, the tmdmPz coordinates to Pd(II) center as a neutral N,S-chelating ligand. The geometries of the complexes have been optimized with the DFT method. Cytotoxicity evaluation against LM3 (mammary adenocarcinoma) and LP07 (lung adenocarcinoma) cell lines indicated that complexes 1-4 were more active than cisplatin. The binding of the complexes with a purine base (guanosine) was investigated by 1H NMR and mass spectrometry, showing that the coordination of guanosine occurs through N7. Electrophoretic DNA migration studies showed that all of them modify the DNA tertiary structure. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Estudo petrográfico e geoquímico dos ironstones da base da Formação Pimenteiras, Borda Oeste da Bacia do Parnaíba, Tocantins

Ironstones, que ocorrem na base da Formação Pimenteiras (Devoniano), na borda noroeste da Bacia do Parnaíba, foram investigados ao longo dos perfis Xambioá-Vanderlândia e Colinas do Tocantins-Couto Magalhães. Esses ironstones formam camadas de espessura decimétrica, descontínuas e intercaladas em arenitos e siltitos, que jazem sobre rochas do cinturão Araguaia. Além da textura oolítica, os ironstones de Xambioá-Vanderlândia diferem dos de Colinas do Tocantins-Couto Magalhães por conterem menores quantidades de material terrígeno, notadamente quartzo, e maiores proporções de oxi-hidróxidos de Fe. São ainda mais enriquecidos em V, Sr, Zr e Σ_ETR e mais empobrecidos em Al₂O>sub>3 e Rb. Diferem também no padrão de distribuição dos ETR normalizados ao North American Shale Composite (NASC), especialmente com relação aos valores de (ETRI)_N, os quais, mais altos nos ironstones oolíticos e mais baixos nos não oolíticos, geram curvas convexas e côncavas, respectivamente. No campo, não foram estabelecidas as relações espaciais entre as duas variedades de ironstones, porém sugere-se que elas representem diferentes fácies da mesma formação ferrífera. Possivelmente, a deposição da fácies não oolítica ocorreu mais afastadamente da borda continental, em ambiente de águas mais profundas e calmas, onde foram descarregadas maiores quantidades de sedimentos detríticos; a deposição da fácies oolítica transcorreu em águas mais rasas e agitadas, com menor suprimento de material terrígeno. O transporte do Fe poderia ter resultado, em grande parte, da erosão fluvial de áreas continentais marcadas por ambientes redutores, o que teria favorecido a solubilidade daquele metal na forma de complexos orgânicos.

Síntese por reação em estado sólido de pós cerâmicos multifuncionais à base de CaCu3Ti4O12 modificados com estrôncio

The study of ceramic materials is constantly evolving, especially in research related to advanced ceramics. Once these have many applications, this paper relates to synthesis by solid state reaction of calcium copper titanate (CCTO) ceramic material means doping with strontium. The powders were characterized using thermal analysis techniques such as TG (thermogravimetry), DTA (differencial thermal analysis), dilatometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The compositions have submitted weight loss at around 6% with respect to carbonates used, and was attributed a temperature of 950° C to perform the calcination according to thermogravimetric analysis. After the process of calcination and milling, the particles presented approximately spherical shapes and high percentages of substitution Ca2+ with Sr2+ was evident by the presence of necks between to particles due to the milling calcination. Analyses with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) showed stoichiometries in different samples very similar to the theoretical stoichiometry

Síntese e caracterização estrutural de pigmentos cerâmicos a base de cromita por método químico

The ceramic pigments are colored inorganic substances that during the process of dispersion in the ceramic glazes and subsequent calcination, are stable against physical and chemical attack. Therefore, they are crystalline compounds applied in the ceramic industry for coloring vitreous base. In this study, the Pechini method was used for obtaining the pigment CuCr2O4 with heat treatment at the temperatures of 800, 900 and 1000 ° C. The powder pigments were characterized on their structural, morphological and colorimetric aspects. The thermal analysis conducted on an amorphous precursor in a TG / DTA indicates the weight loss in the entire temperature range investigated, with characteristic exothermic peak of the elimination of the organic composition of the precursor around 300°C. The development of the crystalline phases were investigated by XRD, using a diffractometer with Cu Ka radiation and graphite monochromator, where it was observed the presence of crystalline phases corresponding to Cr2O3 and CuCr2O4.The measurements of the specific surface area of the powders pigments were carried out in an equipment Micromeritcs, model ASAP 2000, using N2 as gas of adsorption/desorption. The colorimetric measurements of the pigments were made in a colorimeter Gretac Macbeth Color-eye spectrophotometer 2180 / 2180UV in CIELAB standards. Based on the obtained results, it can be verified the thermal stability of the powder pigments of green coloration, which enables it as an alternative to the materials currently used in the manufacture of ceramic tiles.
