Naringenin (NAR) as one of the flavonoidsobserved in grapefruit has been reported to exhibit an anti-cancer activity. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) is associated with apoptosis in human colon cancer cells. This study was performed to investigate the molecular mechanism by which NAR stimulates ATF3 expression and apoptosis in human colon cancer cells. NAR reduced the cell viability an...

Reactions of Cp*Ta(NAr)Cl2 and CpM(NAr)Cl2 (M = Nb, Ta; Ar = 2,6-C6H3(i)Pr2) with NaBH4 in the presence of an excess of PMe3 provided facile access to the corresponding dihydride derivatives Cp(R)M(NAr)H2(PMe3) (Cp(R) = Cp, Cp*). Reaction of Cp*Nb(NAr)Cl2 with NaBH4 in the absence of phosphine gave the Nb(+5) borohydride-hydride complex Cp*Nb(NAr)H(η(2)-BH4). When the corresponding reactions fo...

INTRODUCTION The negative appendicectomy rate (NAR) is a quality metric in the management of appendicitis. While computed tomography (CT) has been associated with a low NAR, Alvarado scoring produces an acceptable NAR. The definition of negative appendicectomy may affect the NAR. This study examined the impact of CT, Alvarado score and definition on the NAR. METHODS The charts of 1,306 emerg...

Addition of 1 equiv of [HNMe2Ph]BAr4 (Ar ) 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) to Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(Pyrrolide)2 (Pyrrolide ) parent pyrrolide (Pyr) or 2,5-dimethylpyrrolide (Me2Pyr)) species in THF produced [Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(Pyrrolide)(THF)x]BAr4 species (x ) 2 for Me2Pyr (1b) or 3 (1a) for Pyr; Ar ) 2,6-diisopropylphenyl). [Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(Me2Pyr)(2,4-lutidine)]BAr4 (1c) was formed upon addition of 2,4-lutidin...

Naringenin (NAR) as one of the flavonoids observed in grapefruit has been reported to exhibit an anti-cancer activity. However, more detailed mechanism by which NAR exerts anti-cancer properties still remains unanswered. Thus, in this study, we have shown that NAR down-regulates the level of cyclin D1 in human colorectal cancer cell lines, HCT116 and SW480. NAR inhibited the cell proliferation ...

A detailed study of the transamination reaction between Ti(NMe2)4 and primary amines RNH2 is reported Alkylamines (1-adamantylamine, t-butylamine) and triphenylsilylamine yield dimers of the type [Ti(μ-NR)(NMe2)2]2 (R = 1-adamantyl (1), (t)Bu (2), SiPh3 (3)). The experimental conditions and the nature of the amine are important issues that determine the scope and yield of the reaction. When rea...

(Me2CF3CO)2(Ar′N)WdW(NAr′)(OCMe2CF3)2 (Ar′ ) 2,6-Me2C6H3) reacts immediately at room temperature with 1 equiv of CCl4 to give the sparingly soluble [W(OCMe2CF3)2Cl]2(μ-NAr′)2. [W(NAr′)(OCMe2CF3)2]2 forms 1:1 adducts with simple donor ligands such as PMe3, PPhMe2, and pyridine, in which the base is likely to be coordinated to a single W center. Addition of ethylene to [W(NAr′)(OCMe2CF3)2]2 yield...
