A series of novel 1,2-diaryl pyrroles as analogues of combretastatin A-4 (CA-4, 1a) were synthesized and evaluated for their antitumour potential against three cancer cell lines. Most compounds exhibited growth inhibition against all of the cancer cell lines. Compound 7q not only exhibited prominent antitumour efficacy with IC50 values of 0.390 μm in SGC-7901, 0.070 μm in HT-1080 and 0.045 μm in KB cell lines but also showed low activity with IC50 values of 30.08 μm in normal L929 cell line. Moreover, compound 7q inhibited tubulin polymerization into microtubules and caused microtubule destabilization. A molecular docking study of 7q was performed to determine its binding mode at the colchicine site in the tubulin dimer.
Gallium alloys are ideal base carriers for temperature-sensitive ferrofluids, which can be used for energy convection, soft robotics, microchannels, magnetorheological devices, etc. In this study, gallium was mixed with different substances (In, Sn, Zn, Ge, and Al) to obtain a low melting point, reduce the wetness and adhesion of its alloys, and realize low viscosity. The melting point, contact angle on certain solid plates, viscosity, and viscoelasticity of the gallium alloys were measured, and some useful gallium alloys were obtained. The experimental results showed that Ga80In10Sn10 had lower wettability at a larger contact angle of 148.6° on the Teflon plate. Here, (Ga80In10Sn10)97Zn3 with a melting point of 8.2 °C, lower than the melting point of Galinstan, was developed. It had a viscosity about three times that of water at room temperature and an elastic response from 0.1 to 100 Hz at a 1% strain amplitude for the viscoelasticity. It was expected that a kind of temperature-sensitive magnetic fluid with a gallium-based liquid alloy as the base carrier liquid would be prepared in the future with Teflon as the container to achieve energy conversion under the drive of the magnetic field.
This research is the basic study of temperature-sensitive ferrite characteristics prepared by coprecipitation with doping different typical sizes of rare earth elements. Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Re x Fe 2-x O 4 (NZRF) (X = 0.02, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.09) nanoparticles (NPs) doped by Sc, Dy and Gd prepared by chemical coprecipitation method. The structure and properties of Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Re x Fe 2-x O 4 were analyzed by various characterization methods. XRD results show that the grain size of Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Re x Fe 2-x O 4 is from 10.6 to 12.4 nm, which is close to the average grain size of 13.9 nm observed on TEM images. It is also found that the ferrite particles are spherical and slightly agglomerated in TEM images. FTIR measurements between 400 and 4000 cm -1 have con rmed the intrinsic cation vibration of the spinel structure. The concentrations of nickel, zinc, iron, and rare earth elements have been determined by ICP-AES, and all ions have participated in the reaction. The magnetic properties of Sc, Dy, and Gd 3+ doped NZRF NPs at room temperature are recorded by a physical property measurement system (PPMS-9). It is found that the magnetization can be changed by adding rare-earth ions. When X = 0.07, Gd 3+ doped Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 2 O 4 (NZF) exhibits the highest saturation magnetization. The magnetic properties of NZGd 0.07 vary the most with temperature. The thermomagnetic coe cient of NZGd 0.07 nanoparticles stabilized to 0.18 emu/gK at 0-100℃. Hence, NZGd 0.07 with low Curie temperature and the high thermomagnetic coe cient can be used to prepare temperature-sensitive ferro uid. All the samples exhibit very small coercivity and almost zero remanences, which indicates the superparamagnetism of the synthesized nanoparticles.
