Remarkably, the reported modified.A novel Dy-Hg compound [Dy(HIA)3(H2O)2]2n·2nHgCl4·nHgCl5·nH3O·3nH2O (1; HIA = isonicotinic acid) was prepared through a hydrothermal reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the space group of C2/c of the monoclinic system. The crystal structure of compound 1 has one-dimensional (1-D) chain-like cations. A photoluminescence experiment with a solid-state sample revealed that this compound exhibits a yellow emission band at 575 nm and, this emission band shall come from the 4f electron 4F9/2 ? 6H13/2 characteristic transfer of Dy3+ ions. The compound features CIE chromaticity coordinates of 0.5168 and 0.4824 in the yellow region. A UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum with a solid-state sample unveiled that this compound possesses a wide optical band gap of 3.39 eV.A novel dispersive liquid-liquid semi-microextraction (DLLsME) procedure for copper(II) preconcentration is proposed. The system containing copper(II) and 6,7-dihydroxy-2,4-diphenylbenzopyrylium chloride (DHDPhB), after addition a mixture of chloroform and methanol becomes cloudy and the formation of the organic phase was observed immediately. The optimal conditions of DLLsME were found to be pH 5, absorption band maximum was 570 nm, 1 cm3 of 1×10-3 mol/dm3ofDHDPhB, and mixed extractant containing 1 cm3 of chloroform and 1 cm3 of methanol. Under optimal conditions, the calibration plot was linear in the range of copper(II) concentration 4.32-65 µg/dm3 and the limit of detection was 1.29 µg/dm3. The rocks and tap water samples were successfully analyzed according to the suggested procedure with RSD no more than 4.9%.The synthesis, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of novel 5-hydroxy-7-methyl-3H-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one derivatives were discussed. Fused thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ones were synthesized and modified at the N3, C5 and C6 positions of the main core in order to obtain the compounds with a satisfactory pharmacological profile. The synthesized compounds were preselected via molecular docking for further testing of their anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. Evaluation of novel compounds over the carageenin induced rat paw edema revealed strong anti-inflammatory action of some compounds including (thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-yl) propanenitrile (5) and thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-3(2H)-yl) propanoic acid (6) even exceeding the standard - Ibuprofen. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds was measured in vitro by the method of scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals.Alzheimer's disease is a major neurodegenerative illness whose prevalence is increasing worldwide but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. There is some scientific evidence that the molecular complexity of Alzheimer's pathophysiology is associated with the formation of extracellular amyloid-beta plaques in the brain. A novel cross- phenotype association analysis of imaging genetics reported a brain atrophy susceptibility gene, namely FAM222A and the protein Aggregatin encoded by FAM222A interacts with amyloid-beta (A?)-peptide (1-42) through its N-terminal A? binding domain and facilitates A? aggregation. The function of Aggregatin protein is unknown, and its three-dimensional structure has not been analyzed experimentally yet. Our goal was to investigate the interaction of Aggregatin with A? in detail by in silico analysis, including the 3D structure prediction analysis of Aggregatin protein by homology modeling. Our analysis verified the interaction of the C-terminal domain of model protein with the N-terminal domain of A?. This is the first attempt to demonstrate the interaction of Aggregatin with the A?. These results confirmed in vitro and in vivo study reports claiming FAM222A helping to ease the aggregating of the A?-peptide.The lamellar and nanostructured manganese oxide materials were chemically synthesized by soft and non-toxic methods. The materials showed a monophasic character, symptomatic morphologies, as well as the predominance of a mesoporous structure. The removal of heavy metals Cd(II) and Pb(II) by the synthesized materials Na-MnO2, Urchin-MnO2 and Cocoon-MnO2 according to the mineral structure and nature of the sites were also studied. Kinetically, the lamellar manganese oxide material Na-MnO2 was the most efficient of the three materials which had more vacancies in the MnO6 layers as well as in the space between the layers. The nanomaterials Urchin-MnO2 and Cocoon-MnO2 could exchange with the metal cations in their tunnels and cavities, respectively. The maximum adsorbed quantities followed the order (Pb(II) Na-MnO2 (297 mg/g)?Urchin-MnO2 (264 mg/g)?Cocoon-MnO2 (209 mg/g), Cd(II) Na-MnO2 (199 mg/g)?Urchin-MnO2 (191 mg/g)?Cocoon-MnO2 (172 mg/g)). Na-MnO2 material exhibited the best stability among the different structures, Na-MnO2 presented a very low amount of the manganese released. The results obtained showed the potential of lamellar manganese oxides (Na-MnO2) and nanostructures (Urchin-MnO2 and Cocoon-MnO2) as selective, economical, and stable materials for the removal of toxic metals in an aqueous medium.The effect of homogenization, ultrasound and microwave extraction methods and conditions on fucoxanthin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from Phaeodactylum tricornutum were investigated in this study. The solvent/biomass ratio was the most effective parameter on fucoxanthin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. The maximum fucoxanthin content (5.60 ± 0.06 mg/g) and antioxidant activity (763.00 ± 15.88 EC50 ?g/mL extract) were obtained with the homogenization extraction method whose optimum conditions were 1.93% biomass/solvent ratio, ~5200 rpm homogenization rate and 14.2 min extraction time.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/XL184.html  Although the ultrasonic extraction method has reached the approximately same level of fucoxanthin content (5.24 ± 0.07 mg/g)), TPC (67.68 ± 1.58 mg gallic acid/L) and antioxidant activity (619.90 ± 17.16 EC50 ?g/mL extract) at an amplitude of 55.72%, a higher biomass/ solvent ratio (2.72%) and a longer extraction time (17.37 min) have been required. The lowest fucoxanthin content, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity were determined for the microwave extraction method.
