Synthesis, Structural Characterization, And In Vitro Biological Assessment Of Trans- Platinum (Ii) Thionate Complexes As Potent Anticancer Agents, Mia Alshami
Chemistry & Biochemistry Undergraduate Honors Theses
The content of this thesis has been originally reported in our published paper, “trans-Platinum (II) Thionate Complexes: Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and in vitro Biological Assessment as Potent Anticancer Agents” ChemPlusChem 2019 84, 1525-1535, DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900394, in which I served as coauthor. Cancer caused 9.6 million deaths in 2018 worldwide, with 18.1 million new diagnoses during that same year.The most widely used metal in anticancer drugs is platinum (Pt), and these drugs are used to treat almost 50% of cancer patients. To optimize drug effectiveness, trans-configured Pt(II) complexes have been introduced as a strategy to potentially overcome the …
Hyper Stable Variants Of Fgf-1-Fgf-2 Dimer, Madison Shields Mcclanahan
Hyper Stable Variants Of Fgf-1-Fgf-2 Dimer, Madison Shields Mcclanahan
Chemistry & Biochemistry Undergraduate Honors Theses
Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs), including FGF-1 and FGF-2, are proteins that play a crucial role in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration, and tissue repair. FGF-1 and FGF-2 are useful in accelerating the healing process in the human body; however, these proteins are naturally thermally unstable, resulting in a relatively low half-life in vivo. 1,8 In efforts to improve the stability of this protein, FGF-1 and FGF-2 proteins are engineered by combining the amino acid sequences of the two proteins to form a heterodimer and obtain novel properties. These two FGF variants are chosen for their specific wound healing capabilities. …

Characterization Of Murine Breast Cancer Cell Lines For Anti-Cancer Vaccine, Haven N. Frazier
Biological Sciences Undergraduate Honors Theses
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States (1). While treatments involving radiation and chemotherapy currently exist, disease must be detected early in order for the treatments to be somewhat effective, and there is no effective treatment after metastasis occurs (2). Additionally, current therapies do not mitigate tumor immunosuppression. Decreasing the tumor-associated immunosuppressive conditions while activating antitumor immunity could prevent recurrence and metastasis, possibly leading to an effective treatment for cancer (3). Tumor cell vaccines could possibly address this issue and have become a …
A 31p, 13c, And 1h Nmr Study Of The Direct Interaction Of Cocaine Hc1 And Magnesium Atp, Gene Lee Bangs, Roger M. Hawk, Debi Patangia
A 31p, 13c, And 1h Nmr Study Of The Direct Interaction Of Cocaine Hc1 And Magnesium Atp, Gene Lee Bangs, Roger M. Hawk, Debi Patangia
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
In vivo 31P NMR studies recently have shown that cocaine causes an imbalance of the free magnesium in the brain which results in pH lowering, ischemia, and even death. This direct interaction with the free Mg+2 inthe brain also affects the Ca+2 balance which controls arterial and vascular contraction. This research has addressed the mechanism of the cocaine interaction withmagnesium adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) using 31P, 13C, and 1H NMR using a Bruker 200 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system. Data are presented and discussed which shows that cocaine and ATP form a complex species which directly affects the NMR spectra.
