RESUMO
Thermoregulated ionic liquid and organic biphasic system composed of ionic liquid [CH3(OCH2 CH2)22N+Et3][CH3SO3-] (abbreviated as IL(PEG1000)) containing IL(PEG1000)-stabilized Rh nanoparticles and organic solvent, which allows for not only highly efficient homogeneous reaction but also an easy biphasic separation, was applied to the hydroaminomethylation of 1-octene for the first time. Under the optimized conditions, the conversion of 1-octene and the amine selectivity were 100% and 90%, respectively. After reaction, the Rh nanoparticle catalyst could be easily separated by simple decantation and reused for four times without evident loss in activity.

A novel tetranuclear Cu(ii) complex (TNC) was successfully synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been studied by UV-vis absorption titration, fluorescence technology and molecular docking. The results indicated that TNC could bind to the DNA through an intercalative mode. The agarose gel electrophoresis experiment showed that TNC could cleave supercoiled plasmid DNA into linear DNA. The anticancer activity of TNC was tested on four cancer cell lines: MCF7, A549, 4T1 and HepG2. The results indicated that TNC shown significant activity against all of above cell lines.
RESUMO
A bimetallic Cu(ii) complex as a novel antitumor chemodynamic therapy agent with glutathione (GSH) depletion properties is successfully synthesized and well characterized. In tumor cells, the Cu2+ ions of the complex are reduced to Cu+ ions by GSH and then catalyzed by the overexpressed H2O2 to generate highly cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals (ËOH) that kill cancer cells. The complex is quickly taken up by cancer cells and distributed in multiple organelles including mitochondria and the nucleus. The complex demonstrates good cytotoxicity toward various cancer cell lines. However, its toxicity toward normal cells is significantly lower than that toward cancer cells due to the limited expression of H2O2. In addition, the complex could arrest the cell cycle of the G0/G1 phase, thereby inducing apoptosis rather than necrosis.

A bimetallic complex, containing Mn(ii) and Cu(ii) moieties, was synthesized for chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of cancer. The complex was capable of generating a hydroxyl radical (ËOH) via a Fenton-like reaction involving a Mn complex, and simultaneously depleting glutathione via a Cu complex induced oxidative reaction, thereby enhancing the efficiency of CDT.

An efficient, safe and one-pot convenient catalytic system has been developed for the reduction of alkenes using NaBH4-NiCl2·6H2O in EtOH/PEG-400 under mild conditions. In this catalytic system, a variety of alkenes (including trisubstituted alkene α-pinene) were well reduced and the Ni catalyst could be recycled.
