RESUMEN
Lysine specific demethylase (LSD1) plays a pivotal role in epigenetic modulation of gene expression. Abberrant expression of LSD1 was associated with the progress and oncogenesis of multiple human cancers. Herein, we report the preliminary anti-LSD1 evaluation of the synthetic vanadium (V) complexes. Among them, complex 2 showed a moderate inhibitory effect against LSD1 with IC50 value of 19.0⯵M, as well as good selectivity over MAO-A/B. Complex 2 is the first vanadium based LSD1 inhibitor, which provides a novel scaffold for the development of LSD1 inhibitor.

The efficiency and the mechanism of aniline degradation by an electrochemical oxidation process using a Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5 electrode as the anode and a graphite electrode as the cathode, were studied in two aqueous electrolytes with/without Fe2+. The results showed that the reasonable anodic potential was about 2.0 V +/- 0.1 V for Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5 electrode to oxidize organic compounds, while the optimum cathodic potential was -0.65 V for graphite electrode to reduce O2 generating H2O2. The oxidation degradation of aniline could not take place only by the single action of H2O2. Anodic oxidation was accounted for the degradation of aniline in the absence of Fe2+, while in the presence of Fe2+ both electro-Fenton oxidation and anodic oxidation (dual-electrode electrochemical oxidation) could degradate aniline effectively, and in this case the former was the main mechanism. Under the conditions of -0.65 V cathodic potential, pH 3.0 and 0.5 mmol x L(-1) Fe2+, the removal rate of COD was 77.5% after 10 h treatment and a current efficiency of 97.8% for COD removal could be obtained. This work indicates that the dual-electrode electrochemical oxidation is feasible for the degradation of organic compounds with a high current efficiency by using Ti/SnO2-Sb2O5 as anode as well as the reasonable anodic and cathodic potentials.
