Molinate decontamination processes in effluent water from rice fields.

Abstract

The performance of aeration, photodecomposition and biological degradation processes as methods to reduce molinate contamination levels in effluent water from rice fields was studied. Aeration produced a molinate dissipation of 84%, as against 22% without aeration. Application of UV-light to clean water solutions achieved a molinate photodecomposition of 96% in 24 h. Maximal degradation obtained in algal cultures was 55% in 20 days and 78% in 40 days. In micro-organism cultures, kept in darkness and with a continuous flow of aqueous solution of molinate and inorganic salts, a degradation of 97% was achieved.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of a potent, cell-permeable, conformationally constrained second mitochondria derived activator of caspase (Smac) mimetic.

A potent, cell-permeable, conformationally constrained second mitochondria derived activator of caspase mimetic (SM-131, 2) has been designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Compound 2 binds to X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (XIAP) with a Ki of 61 nM in a competitive binding assay and directly antagonizes the XIAP inhibition of caspase-9 activity in a cell-free functional assay. Compound 2 achieves an IC50 of 100 nM in inhibition of cell growth and effectively induces cell death in the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line.

In silico-guided target identification of a scaffold-focused library: 1,3,5-triazepan-2,6-diones as novel phospholipase A2 inhibitors.

A collection of 2150 druggable active sites from the Protein Data Bank was screened by high-throughput docking to identify putative targets for five representative molecules of a combinatorial library sharing a 1,3,5-triazepan-2,6-dione scaffold. Five targets were prioritized for experimental evaluation by computing enrichment in individual protein entries among the top 2% scoring targets. Out of the five proposed proteins, secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) was shown to be a true target for a panel of 1,3,5-triazepan-2,6-diones which exhibited micromolar affinities toward two human sPLA2 members.
