In the present study, at first, 2,4-Dihydroxy Salophen (2,4-DHS), has been synthesized by combination of 1, 2-diaminobenzene and 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in a solvent system. This ligand containing meta-quinone functional groups were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, the interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and 2,4-DHS, was investigated in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer solution, pH 7.2, using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, thermal denaturation technique and viscosity measurements. From spectrophotometric titration experiments, the binding constant of 2,4-DHS with ct-DNA was found to be (1.1 ± 0.2) × 104 M‒1. The fluorescence study represents the quenching effect of 2,4-DHS on bound ethidium bromide to DNA. The quenching process obeys linear Stern-Volmer equation in extended range of 2,4-DHS concentration. Thermal denaturation experiments represent the increasing of melting temperature of DNA (about 3.5 oC) due to binding of 2,4-DHS. These results are consistent with a binding mode dominated by interactions with the groove of ct-DNA.

Azani, Mohammad-Reza,Hassanpour, Azin,Bordbar, Abdol-Khalegh Korean Chemical Society 2010 대한화학회지 Vol.54 No.5

In this study, iron(III)-2,4-dihydroxysalophen chloride (Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl), has been synthesized by combination of 2,4-dihydroxysalophen (2,4-DHSalophen) with $FeCl_2$ in a solvent system. This complex combination was characterized using UV-vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, the interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl, was investigated in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer solution, pH 7.2, using UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies, thermal denaturation technique and viscosity measurements. From spectrophotometric titration experiments, the binding constant of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl with ct-DNA was found to be $(1.6{\pm}0.2){\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$. The fluorescence study represents the quenching effect of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl on bound ethidium bromide to DNA. The quenching process obeys linear Stern-Volmer equation in extended range of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl concentration. Thermal denaturation experiments represent the increasing melting temperature of DNA (about $4.3^{\circ}C$) due to binding of Fe(2,4-DHSalophen)Cl. These results are consistent with a binding mode dominated by interactions with the groove of ct-DNA. 본 연구에서는 염화제1철을 2,4-디히드록시살로펜과 조합하여 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철을 합성하였다. 이 복합체를 자외선-가시광선 분광법, IR 분광법으로 분석하였고, 천연의 송아지 흉선 DNA (ct-DNA)와 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철의 상호작용을 자외선-가시광선 분광법, 형광분광법, 열변성 분석법, 점성측정법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 분광학적 적정실험으로 밝힌 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철과 ct-DNA 사이의 결합상수는 $(1.6{\pm}0.2){\times}10^3\;M^{-1}$이었다. 형광분광분석을으로 브롬화 에티디움의 DNA 결합이 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철에 의하여 저해되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이 저해효과는 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철의 농도에 따라 선형의 Stern-Volmer 방정식을 따른다. 열변성 실험으로 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철이 DNA의 녹는점을 약 $4.3^{\circ}C$ 증가시킨다는 것을 관찰하였다. 이 결과들은 2,4-디히드록시살로펜-염화철이 대부분 ct-DNA의 큰고랑과 상호작용한다는 모델을 잘 설명하여 준다.

Background Development of antibodies against infused Factor VIII (FVIII) or "inhibitors" represents a major challenge following FVIII replacement therapy in patients with hemophilia A (HA). Recent studies have shown that certain cellular compartments of the immune system contribute to the production of such antibodies. Herein, we determined the frequency of class-switched CD19+ IgD−CD27+/non-class-switched CD19+ IgD+CD27+ memory B cell subsets and CD19+ CD27hiCD38hi plasmablasts in patients with severe HA and their association with the development of inhibitors in these patients. Methods This cross-sectional case–control study enrolled 32 patients with severe HA, including 8 with and 24 without inhibitors, and 24 healthy individuals. The frequencies of the memory B cell subsets and plasmablasts were determined using flow cytometry. Results The frequency of CD19+ IgD+CD27+ non-class-switched memory B cells was significantly lower in patients with HA (including both patients with and without inhibitors) than in healthy controls. The percentages of both CD19+ IgD−CD27+ class-switched and CD19+ IgD+CD27+ non-class-switched memory B cells did not differ significantly between patients with and without inhibitors. HA patients with inhibitors had significantly higher proportions of CD19+ CD27hiCD38hi plasmablasts than the control group as well as the inhibitor (-) ones. No significant correlation was observed between the inhibitor levels with the percentages of memory B cell subsets and plasmablasts. Conclusion This study is the first to demonstrate a dysregulated proportion of CD19+ IgD+CD27+ non-class-switched memory B cells and CD19+ CD27hiCD38hi plasmablasts in patients with severe HA. Therefore, strategies targeting memory B-cell/plasmablast differentiation may have promising outcomes in the management of inhibitor formation in patients with severe HA.

Solution properties of sodium n-dodecyl sulfate in the presence of meso-tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin

양이온성 수용성 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin (TMPyP)의 존재 하에서 음이온 계면 활성제인 sodium n-dodecyl sulfate 의 용액 특성을 전도도법, UV-vis 및 공명 빛 산란 (RLS) 분광학적 방법을 이용하여 포괄적으로 연구하였다. 그 결과에 따르면 TMPyP 농도의 증가로 SDS 용액의 임계 미셀 농도는 감소하였는데, SDS 미셀의 안정화는 미셀 표면에 존재하는 음전하의 중화 때문이다. SDS용액 내에는 자유 포르피린 단량체, 미셀에 속박된 포르피린 단량체 또는 응집체, 그리고 nonmicellar porphyrin/계면 활성제 응집체와 같은 세 종류의 TMPy종이 분명히 존재하였다. 우리의 연구 결과는 SDS가 TMPyP의 응집을 유도한다는 것을 나타내었다. 실제로 두 종류의 J-aggregations이 관찰되었는데, 하나는 미셀에 속박된 포르피린 단량체 또는 응집체였으며, 다른 하나는 nonmicellar porphyrin/계면 활성제 응집체이다. 그러나, cmc이하에서는 TMPyP가 SDS 음이온과 정전기 상호작용을 나타내었다. The solution properties of sodium n-dodecyl sulfate, as an anionic surfactant in the presence of a cationic watersoluble 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin (TMPyP) has been comprehensively studied by means of conductometry, UV-vis and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopies. The results represent the decreasing of critical micelle concentration of SDS solution due to increasing of TMPyP concentration. The stabilization of SDS micelle is due to neutralization of negative charge at the micelle surface. The presence of three different species of TMPyP in SDS solution has been unequivocally demonstrated: free porphyrin monomers, porphyrin monomers or aggregates bound to the micelles, and nonmicellar porphyrin/surfactant aggregates. Our results show SDS induced an aggregation in TMPyP. In fact two kinds of J-aggregations were observed: one of them for porphyrin monomers or aggregates bound to the micelles and the other for nonmicellar porphyrin/surfactant aggregates. However, the results represent the electrostatic interaction of TMPyP with SDS anion below the cmc.
