Solid Phase Synthesis and Biological Activity of Tuftsin Conjugates
PublicationNew tuftsin/retro-tuftsin conjugates were designed and synthesized using a classical fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) solid phase procedure. All the peptide conjugates were divided into three series: 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone (type A), 1-nitroacridine (type B), and 4-carboxyacridone (type C) derivatives. In type A conjugates, the N-terminal group of the peptide chain is directly connected to the anthraquinone ring at C1 (Scheme...

The comparison of cytotoxic and genotoxic activities of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, and indoles
PublicationChemopreventive properties of Brassica vegetables are attributed mainly to their characteristic compounds—glucosinolates (GLs) and their main hydrolysis products—isothiocyanates (ITCs) and indoles. In this study, we compared antiproliferative activity (MTT test in HT29 cells) and genotoxic effects (comet assay in HT29 cells and restriction analysis in a cell-free system) of three GLs (sinigrin (SIN), glucotropaeolin (GTL), and...

Photocatalytic activity and surface properties of carbon-doped titanium dioxide
PublicationTiO2 domieszkowany węglem otrzymano poprzez hydrolizę izopropanolanu tytanu(IV) i kalcynację w 350ºC w atmosferze powietrza przez 2h. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że fenol (0.21 mM) jest efektywnie degradowany w fazie wodnej, w obecności otrzymanego fotokatalizatora oraz światła z zakresu widzialnego (λ>400 nm). Pole powierzchni właściwej otrzymanego C-TiO2 wynosiło około 127 m2/g, fotokatalizator absorbuje światło z zakresu...

Oxolane Ammonium Salts (Muscarine-Like)—Synthesis and Microbiological Activity
PublicationCommercially available 2-deoxy-D-ribose was used to synthesize the appropriate oxolane derivative—(2R,3S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-3-ol—by reduction and dehydration/cyclization in an acidic aqueous solution. Its monotosyl derivative, as a result of the quaternization reaction, allowed us to obtain eight new muscarine-type derivatives containing a quaternary nitrogen atom and a hydroxyl group linked to the oxolane ring. Their structure...
