Extracellular ATP has been shown to either inhibit or promote cancer growth and migration; however, the mechanism underlying this discrepancy remained elusive. Here we demonstrate the divergent roles of ATP and adenosine released by bone osteocytes on breast cancers. We

This paper describes non-covalent complexes between zwitterionic 3-(1-alkyl-3N-imidazolio)- propane-1-sulfonates and different amines. Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and collision- induced dissociation were used to measure the stability of such complexes in solution and in the gas phase. Generally, zwitterionic sulfonates

A high-throughput approach was developed in order to prepare and dry a series of protic ionic liquids (PILs) from 48 Brønsted acid-base combinations. Many combinations comprised an alkyl carboxylic acid paired with an alkyl amine. Visual screens were developed to

A novel zone-fluidics/high pressure liquid chromatographic (ZF-HPLC) method is described for the simultaneous determination of six biogenic monoamines, in the presence of hexylamine as internal standard. Automated on-line derivatization of the analytes with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde/cyanide ions was performed using the ZF

Two new amino core-substituted naphthalene diimides (cNDIs) bearing fluorinated side chains have been synthesised. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy reveals unprecedented optical properties for the cNDIs with high quantum yields of ∼0.8 and fluorescence lifetimes of ∼13 ns in a range
