Currently, several hundred polyiodide compounds have been synthesized and structurally characterized, but so far, no formation patterns for certain polyiodide ions have been revealed. The purpose of this work is to continue the search for formation regularities of polyiodides, including polyiodides of lanthanide complexes.Methods. Iodide and polyiodide of samarium complexes with biuret (BU), [Sm(BU)4]I3·BU·2H2O and [Sm(BU)4][I5][I]2, were first synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and infrared spectroscopy, respectively.Results. The obtained compounds complement the row of isostructural lanthanide (La–Gd) complexes. Structures of corresponding iodides and polyiodides were compared in detail. Both types of the compounds contain complex cations of the same composition; however, their structures differ significantly. The central atom coordination polyhedron can be described as a distorted square antiprism and a distorted dodecahedron, respectively. Even greater differences are observed in the outer sphere of complex compounds. The iodide compound crystals contain uncoordinated iodide ions, a biuret molecule and two water molecules. In the polyiodide compound, cations together with isolated I– ions form a three-dimensional framework with the channels, in which linear I5– ions are united in infinite linear chains by weak interactions.Conclusions. The replacement of an iodide ion with a polyiodide ion in complex compounds of lanthanides with BU leads to changes in both the inner sphere and the outer sphere of the cation complex, including the supramolecular level. The presence of iodine atom infinite linear chains in polyiodides allows expecting the presence of anisotropic electrical conductivity along this direction.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82825115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of changes in the viral activity of influenza A/WSN/33 after complex knockdown of combinations of cellular genes FLT4, Nup98 and Nup205 in human lung cell culture A549. Methods. The work was carried out using the equipment of the Center for Collective Use of the I. Mechnikov Research Institute of Vaccines and Sera, Russia. The authors performed transfection of combinations of small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) complexes that cause simultaneous disruption of the expression of cellular genes FLT4, Nup98, and Nup205. Within three days from the moment of transfection and infection, the supernatant fluid and cell lysate were taken for subsequent viral reproduction intensity determination using the titration method for cytopathic action. The dynamics of changes in the concentration of viral ribonucleic acid (vRNA) was determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR). The nonparametric Mann–Whitney test was used to calculate statistically significant differences between groups.Results. Using all of the combinations of siRNA complexes, cell viability did not decrease below the threshold level of 70%. In cells treated with complex FLT4.2 + Nup98.1 + Nup205 at the multiplicity of infection (MOI) equal to 0.1, a significant decrease in viral reproduction by 1.5 lg was noted on the first day in relation to nonspecific and viral controls. The use of siRNA complexes at MOI 0.01 resulted in a more pronounced antiviral effect. The viral titer in cells treated with siRNA complexes FLT4.2 + Nup98.1 and Nup98.1 + Nup205 decreased by 1.5 lg on the first day. In cells treated with complexes FLT4.2 + Nup205 and FLT4.2 + Nup98.1 + Nup205, it decreased by 1.8 and 2.0 lg on the first day and by 1.8 and 2.5 lg on the second day, respectively, in relation to nonspecific and viral controls. When conducting real-time RT-PCR, a significant decrease in the concentration of vRNA was noted. At MOI 0.1, a 295, 55, and 63-fold decrease in the viral load was observed with the use of siRNA complexes FLT4.2 + Nup98.1, Nup98.1 + Nup205, and FLT4.2 + Nup98.1 + Nup205, respectively. On the second day, a decrease in vRNA was also observed in cells treated with complex A. A 415-fold decrease in vRNA on the third day was noted in cells treated with complex FLT4.2 + Nup205.

The chemistry of 67Ga and 68Ga radionuclides plays a key role in nuclear medicine for applications in radiopharmaceuticals, in particular, in noninvasive in vivo molecular imaging techniques. The use of radiometals for labeling biomolecules typically requires the use of bifunctional chelators, which contain a functional group for covalent bonding with the targeting vector in addition to the polydentate fragment coordinating the metal. The aim of the present review article is to analyze the currently accumulated experimental material on the development and application of bifunctional chelators of gallium cations in medical research, as well as to identify the main requirements for the structure of the chelator and its complexes with 68Ga, which are used to create effective Gabased pharmaceutical preparations.Results. The review analyzed macrocyclic bifunctional chelators forming stable in vivo complexes with 68Ga and acyclic chelators, whose main advantage is faster complexation kinetics due to the short half-life of 68Ga. The advantages and disadvantages of both types of ligands were evaluated. In addition, a critical analysis of the binding constants and the conditions for the formation of complexes was presented. Examples of the influence of the geometry, lipophilicity, and total charge of the metal complex on the biodistribution of target radiopharmaceuticals were also given.Conclusions. Despite the progress made in the considered areas of bifunctional chelators, the problem of correlating the chemical structure of a metal-based radiopharmaceutical with its behavior in vivo remains important. Comparative studies of drugs having an identical targeting vector but containing different bifunctional chelating agents could help further elucidate the effectof metal chelate moiety on pharmacokinetics. In order to create effective bifunctional chelating agents, it is necessary to take into account such factors as the stability and inertness of the chelator and its complexes under physiological conditions, lipophilicity, complexation kinetics, chelation selectivity, combinatoriality of the basic structure, along with economic aspects, e.g., the availability of raw materials and the complexity of the synthesis scheme.","PeriodicalId":12215,"journal":{"name":"Fine Chemical Technologies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77750474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A characteristic feature of oil production is an increase in the volume of highviscosity bituminous oil. In Russia, technologies based on the use of water vapor are used for their extraction. The use of such technologies leads to a large amount of water in the product stream from the production well. Preparation of oil for processing involves its stabilization, desalination, and dewatering. Since the densities of the extracted oil and the water contained in it are comparable, traditional preparation schemes for processing of high-viscosity bituminous oil are ineffective. One of the possible solutions to the problem involving such oil in the fuel, energy, and petrochemical balance is to use a coking process at the first stage of its processing. This aim can be achieved by studying the influence of the process conditions of coking high-viscosity water-containing oil on the yield and characteristics of the resulting products.Methods. Coking of oil with a density of 1.0200 g/cm3 at 50 °C and with 18 wt % water content was carried out in a laboratory installation in a “cube.” A hollow cylindrical apparatus was used as a reactor and was placed in a furnace. The temperature and pressure in the reactor were maintained at 500–700 °C and 0.10–0.35 MPa, respectively.Results. An increase in the coking process temperature results in an increase in the amount of gaseous products, a decrease in the amount of the coke generated, and a higher dependence of the amount of liquid products on temperature with a maximum yield at 550–600 °C. The process temperature also affects the composition of liquid products. At a lower temperature, the amount of gasoline and kerosene fractions in liquid products is higher. With an increase in pressure, a higher amount of gaseous products, coke, and low-molecular-weight hydrocarbon fractions in liquid products could also be obtained. The characteristics of the coke produced in the coking process are similar to those of commercially produced grades. It is noted that when coking water-containing oil, up to 98% of the emulsion water goes with liquid products, and the remaining amount of water remains in the formed coke.Conclusions. Results showed the possible application of the coking process at the initial stage of processing high-viscosity bituminous oil. In this case, the dewatering stage is significantly simplified since the technological scheme of delayed coking allows the separation of the gasoline fraction from water.

Due to their structures, pentaerythritol esters have a number of appealing properties such as high viscosity index when used as oils and excellent compatibility with polyvinyl chloride when used as plasticizers. For the production of pentaerythritol and carboxylic acids, natural gas can be used as a feedstock, which implies a strategic development of the petrochemical industry, a decrease in the amount of gas used for combustion, and its applications for the production of chemical products.Methods. The synthesis process was conducted in a self-catalysis mode with excess acids in a molar ratio of 8:1 and in the presence of a solvent (toluene) of ~30% per reaction mass. This ensures a uniform distillation of the reaction water at a constant temperature of 100–110 °C, a decrease in the side reaction products, and an increase in process selectivity. The products from the reaction mass were isolated by vacuum distillation, and identification of all the synthesized tetraesters was performed by chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis.Results. This work proposes options for optimizing the conditions of the thermal esterification of pentaerythritol with isomeric monocarboxylic acids (isobutyric, isovaleric, pivalic, and 2-ethylhexanoic acids) that have different reactivities due to their structures. Methods for isolating tetraesters of pentaerythritol and corresponding acids have been developed. The characteristics of the main series of ions of tetraesters of pentaerythritol and aliphatic isomeric acids C4–C8 in the mass spectra were obtained.Conclusions. The yields of tetraesters were at 95%–96% of the theoretical value, and product purity was >99.6%. The resulting target products (tetraesters) were characterized by relative color stability, where the maximum degree of color after cleaning was less than 20 units according to Hazen (180 units for tetra-2-ethylhexnoate), which corresponds to the standards in GOST 29131-91 (ISO 2211-73). The esterification rates were compared, and it was shown that the quantitative yields of isomeric tetraesters at 100–110 °C were achieved in 12–15 h for isobutyric and isovaleric acids, 25–27 h for 2-ethyl-hexanoic acid, and ~40 h for pivalic acid.

Resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs is an acute problem in the world today. Therefore, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries are still in search of new antibacterial agents that can overcome the resistance of pathogenic bacterial strains. To date, it has been established that molecules with antimicrobial activity must have an amphiphilic nature, a small size, one or more positive charges, and the required degree of hydrophobicity, that is, a significant hydrophilic–lipophilic balance (HLB) value. Some examples of such structures are antimicrobial peptides or peptidomimetics. This study aimed to develop a universal scheme for synthesizing several amino acid derivatives based on diethanolamine diesters with symmetric and asymmetric radicals in a hydrophobic block and potential antibacterial activity.Methods. The progression of chemical reactions was analyzed using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on Sorbfil plates. The obtained compounds were isolated and purified using preparative TLC on Kieselgel (Merck) 60 F254 plates and column chromatography on Merck silica gel 0.040–0.063 mm. The TLC method was used to detect substances using a 3% ninhydrin solution, followed by heating to 70 °C. The structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy on a Bruker WM-300 pulse NMR spectrometer, with hexamethyldisiloxane serving as the internal standard.Results. The HLB values of the diethanolamine derivatives were calculated, and samples were selected for subsequent synthesis. A scheme was developed for preparing amino acid derivatives based on diethanolamine diesters with symmetric and asymmetric radicals in the hydrophobic domain, and five new compounds were synthesized. The hydrophilic blocks of these compounds included residues of amino acids such as glycine, β-alanine, L-ornithine, and L-lysine.Conclusions. The potential antimicrobial activity of the synthesized peptidomimetics was assessed by their HLB values using the ACD/Labs Log P program.
