Azophosphines: Synthesis, Structure and Coordination Chemistry
Chemistry. 2024 Apr 16:e202401358. doi: 10.1002/chem.202401358. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe conceptual replacement of nitrogen with phosphorus in common organic functional groups unlocks new properties and reactivity. The phosphorus-containing analogues of triazenes are underexplored but offer great potential as flexible and small bite-angle ligands. This manuscript explores the synthesis and characterisation of a family of air-stable azophosphine-borane complexes, and their subsequent deprotection to the free azophosphines. These compounds are structurally characterised, both experimentally and computationally, and ...

Dynamics of Coordinated Phosphonate Group Directly Observed by 17O-NMR in Lanthanide(III) Complexes of a Mono(ethyl phosphonate) DOTA Analogue
Chemistry. 2024 Apr 16:e202400970. doi: 10.1002/chem.202400970. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiological phosphates can coordinate metal ions and their complexes are common in living systems. Dynamics of mutual oxygen atom exchange in the tetrahedral group in complexes has not been investigated. Here, we present a direct experimental proof of the exchange ("phosphonate rotation") in model Ln(III) complexes of monophosphonate H4dota analogue which alters phosphorus atom chirality of coordinated phosphonate monoester. Combination of macrocycle-based isomerism with P-based chirality leads to several diastereoisomers. The (non...

Functions and Metabolism of Amino Acids in Bones and Joints of Cats and Dogs
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2024;1446:155-175. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-54192-6_7.ABSTRACTThe bone is a large and complex organ (12-15% of body weight) consisting of specialized connective tissues (bone matrix and bone marrow), whereas joints are composed of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, synovial joint capsules and membranes, and a synovial joint cavity filled with synovial fluid. Maintaining healthy bones and joints is a dynamic and complex process, as bone deposition (formation of new bone materials) and resorption (breakdown of the bone matrix to release calcium and phosphorus) are the continuous processes to determine bone balanc...

Nutrition and Aging in Dogs and Cats
Adv Exp Med Biol. 2024;1446:203-215. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-54192-6_9.ABSTRACTAging is often associated with chronic inflammation and declining health. Both veterinarians and owners of aging dogs and cats are interested in nutritional solutions and strategies to prevent signs of age-related disease, increase longevity, and improve quality of life. Physiological decreases in muscle mass, decreased immunity, and a decrease in sense acuity are some of the changes often seen in otherwise healthy senior pets; however, there may also be an increase in risk for pathologies such as renal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and neopl...

The effects of re-irradiation on the chemical and morphological properties of permanent teeth
This study aimed to assess the in vitro effects of re-irradiation on enamel and dentin properties, simulating head and neck cancer radiotherapy retreatment. Forty-five human permanent molars were classified into five groups: non-irradiated; irradiated 60 Gy, and re-irradiated with doses of 30, 40, and 50 Gy. Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were employed for analysis. Raman spectroscopy assessed intensity, spectral area, and specific peaks comparatively. Statistical analysis involved Kolmogorov-Smirnov and One-Way ANOVA tests, with Tukey's post-test (sig...

Effects of Streptomyces sp. HU2014 inoculation on wheat growth and rhizosphere microbial diversity under hexavalent chromium stress
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Apr 15;276:116313. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116313. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major foodstuff for over 40% of the world's population. However, hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] in contaminated soil significantly affects wheat production and its ecological environment. Streptomyces sp. HU2014 was first used to investigate the effects of Cr (VI) stress on wheat growth. We analyzed the Cr(VI) concentration, physicochemical properties of wheat and soil, total Cr content, and microbial community structures during their interactions. HU2014 reduced the toxicity of C...
