A Ni11 coordination cluster from the use of the di-2-pyridyl ketone/acetate ligand combination: synthetic, structural and magnetic studies
The combined use of di-2-pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, and acetates (MeCO2−) in nickel(II) chemistry in H2O-MeCN under basic conditions (Et3N) afforded the coordination cluster [Ni11(OH)6(O2CMe)12{(py)2C(OH)(O)}4(H2O)2] (1) in ...
PPARγ agonist-loaded PLGA-PEG nanocarriers as a potencial treatment for Alzheimer's disease: in vitro and in vivo studies.
Objective: The first aim of this study was to develop a nanocarrier that could transport the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist, pioglitazone (PGZ) across brain endothelium and examine the mechanism of ...
Cytotoxicity of osmium(ii) and cycloosmated half-sandwich complexes from 1-pyrenyl-containing phosphane ligands
Five metal-arene complexes of formula [MX2(η6-p-cymene)(diR(1-pyrenyl)phosphane)] (M = Os or Ru, X = Cl or I, R = isopropyl or phenyl) and symbolized as MRX2 were synthesized and fully characterized, namely OsiPrCl2, ...
Aproximacions a la perspectiva de la persona en tractament de manteniment amb metadona: Reflexions a propòsit de 10 anys de recerca
Els tractaments de manteniment amb metadona (TMM) són un autèntic tractament psicofarmacològic de la dependència d'heroïna i, a la vegada, un element indispensable de les polítiques i les intervencions de reducció de danys. ...
