AB  - Background: In order to make some progress in discovering the more effective way to eliminate ROS which cause the oxidative stress in organism in humans and bearing in mind the fact that ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-aryl(alkyl)-4-oxo-2-butenoates (β-diketonates) belong to a class of biologically active compounds, series of β-diketonates were synthesized, characterized, and tested to evaluate there antioxidant activity. Further, to investigate how coordination to copper(II) ion affects the activity of β-diketonates, appropriate complexes were synthesized and characterized. Methods: All complexes were characterized by UV-Vis, IR, and EPR spectroscopy, MS spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Fluorescence spectroscopic method was used for investigations of the interactions between biomacromolecules (DNA or BSA) and compound 2E. Viscosity measurements and molecular docking study were performed to confirm the mode of interactions between DNA and BSA and compound 2E. Results: Scavenging activity on DPPH radical revealed that compounds 2A, 2B, and 2E possess largest free radical scavenging, comparable to standard while results of superoxide anion scavenging activities of tested samples showed that maximum scavenging activity (IC50=168.92 µg/mL) was found for 2E, very similar to standard ascorbic acid, followed by 2B and 2G. Results of the interactions between biomacromolecules and 2E indicated that 2E has the affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation [Ksv = (3.7 ± 0.1) × 103 M-1], while Ka value obtained via titration of BSA with 2E [Ka = (4.2 ± 0.2) × 105 M-1], support the fact that the significant amount of the drug could be transported and distributed through the cells. Conclusions: All β-diketonates exhibited better scavenging activities than their corresponding copper complexes. Among all the tested compounds, 2E gave the highest reducing power, even higher than standard ascorbic acid, while reducing power for compounds 2A and 2B was also good but lower than standard. DNA and BSA binding study for 2E showed that this compound has the potential to be used as medicament. © 2021 Bentham Science Publishers.

AB  - In this work, the performances of two ionic liquid matrices (ILMs) with the same ammonium counterpart for mass spectrometric analysis of the insoluble and soluble sucralfate were compared. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) was performed assisted by the butylammonium salts of α-cyano-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCAB) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBB). CHCAB has a higher IE than DHBB, but better optical properties. CHCAB is more suitable for the analysis of sucralfate, although molecular ions of both compounds were detectable only with low intensities. Thus, optical properties of ILMs are crucial to enhance the sensitivity of MALDI MS detection of polysulfated oligosaccharides. © 2019, © 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

AB  - TiO2 prolatenanospheroids (PNSs) may be photosensitizers (PSs), which act by catalyzation of hydroxyl radical (∙OH) formation upon light illumination. ∙OH might, in turn, contribute to killing of cancer cells. On the other hand, there is great concern about toxicity in the dark of TiO2 nanoparticles in general. In this work, we have investigated the biocompatibility of TiO2 PNSs of the anatase crystal form (length between 100 and 300 nm and width 50 nm) in the dark with immune cells and light-induced cytotoxicity on several cancer cell lines. The effects of the treatment of different cell lines with several concentrations of TiO2 PNSs suspensions showed the specifics of cells’ viability and the intracellular localization. The results of in vitro studies obtained by cytotoxicity assays adjusted to individual cell lines’ metabolism point towards the biocompatibility of TiO2 PNSs at low and moderate concentrations in the dark, which neither kill the cells, nor induce activation of the immune system cells. Laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed that PNSs are taken up by cells, and insight into the intracellular distribution was obtained in this study.

AB  - In order to investigate potential therapeutically agents, novel products of Biginelli reaction (4a-l) were synthesized and exposed to cytotoxic and caspase activities, angiogenesis, cell cycle distribution, gene and microRNA expression levels, lipophilicity assessment and docking study. Among the twelve novel compounds (4a-l) evaluated for the cytotoxic activity, five of them (4c, 4d, 4f, 4k and 4l) that showed excellent activity on the tested cell lines (HeLa, LS174 and A549) were selected for further evaluation. Interestingly, compound 4f has up to three times higher selectivity index (SI) towards cancer cells than cisplatin (on HeLa, LS174 and A549 SI = 18.2, 13.5 and 11.2, respectively). The obtained results from cell cycle distribution and caspase activity indicate that tested compounds (4c, 4d, 4f, 4k and 4l) promoted caspase-9 activation, implicated in the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Lipophilicity of 4a-l was determinate by using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

AB  - Abstract: In this study, we have synthesized a series of dinuclear and trinuclear gold(III) complexes of the general formula [Au2(N–N)Cl6] (1–3) for dinuclear and [Au3(N–N)2Cl8]+ (4–6) for trinuclear compounds, respectively, in which N–N is a bidentate ligand (1,4-diaminobutane; 1,6-diaminohexane or 1,8-diaminooctane). These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, and spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR, ESI–MS). We performed DFT calculations to get insight into the geometry of the studies complexes. DNA-binding studies were performed by UV–Vis spectrophotometry and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results of competitive reactions between gold(III) complexes and ethidium bromide (EB) towards DNA have shown that selected complexes can displace EB from DNA-EB adduct. In addition, these experiments confirm that polynuclear gold(III) complexes interact with DNA covalently or via intercalation. Furthermore, high values of binding constants of gold(III) complexes towards bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein indicate good binding affinity. In addition, redox stability of complexes in the presence of DNA/BSA was confirmed by cyclic voltammetry. Results of the interactions between gold(III) complexes with DNA/BSA were discussed in reference to molecular docking data obtain by Molegro virtual docker. The cytotoxic activity of synthesized gold(III) complexes was evaluated on human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231), human colorectal cancer cell line (HCT-116), and normal human lung fibroblast cell line (MRC-5). All complexes dose-dependently reduced cancer and normal cells viabilities, with significant cytotoxic effects (IC50 < 25 μM) for trinuclear gold(III) complexes (4, 5) on HCT-116 cells.

AB  - In order to make a progress in discovering a new agents for chemotherapy with improved properties and bearing in mind the fact that substituted 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones belong to a class of biologically active compounds, series of novel 1,5-diaryl-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones were synthesized and characterized by spectral (UV–Vis, IR, NMR, ESI-MS), X-ray and elemental analysis. All compounds were examined for their cytotoxic effect on human cancer cell lines HeLa and MDA-MB 231 and normal fibroblasts (MRC-5). Four compounds, 3-hydroxy-1-(p-tolyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D10), 3-hydroxy-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D13), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D14), and 3-hydroxy-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D15), that showed the highest cytotoxicity against malignant cells and the best selectivity towards normal cells were selected for further experiments. Results obtained by investigating mechanisms of cytotoxic activity suggest that selected 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one derivatives in HeLa cells induce apoptosis that is associated with S phase arrest (D13, D15, and D10) or unrelated to cell cycle distribution (D14). Additionally, to better understand their suitability for potential use as anticancer medicaments we studied the interactions between biomacromolecules (DNA or BSA) and D13 and D15. The results indicated that D13 and D15 have great affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation [K sv = (3.7 ± 0.1) and (3.4 ± 0.1) × 10 3 M −1 , respectively], an intercalative mode also confirmed through viscosity measurements. K a values, obtained as result of fluorescence titration of BSA with D13 and D15 [K a = (4.2 ± 0.2) and (2.6 ± 0.2) × 10 5 M, respectively], support the fact that a significant amount of the tested compounds could be transported and distributed through the cells. In addition, by DNA and BSA molecular docking study for D13, D14 and D15 is determined and predicted the binding mode and the interaction region. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

AB  - Interactions of copper(II) complexes which contain S-alkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl; aryl = benzyl), marked as 1–5, with guanosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP) and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were studied. Kinetics of substitution reactions of 1–5 with 5′-GMP and CT-DNA were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions at 310 K and pH = 7.2 in 25 mM Hepes buffer using stopped-flow method. All complexes have high affinity toward studied bio-molecules. Additionally, interactions with CT-DNA were followed by absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching measurements. The results indicate that complexes bind to DNA exhibiting high binding constants (Kb = 104 M−1). During the examination of competitive reactions with ethidium bromide (EB), results showed that complexes can replace EB-bound DNA. In addition, a new crystal structure of the binuclear Cu(II) complex with S-substituted thiosalicylate derivative has been reported. In the present series of Cu(II) complexes the crystal structure is the first example of a complex comprising an S-aryl derivative of thiosalicylate ligand. Through comparative study of structural properties of six molecules from four crystal structures we examined the structural variations, potentially important for biological activity of these complexes. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

AB  - In this review we summarize our work on development of Ru complexes with potential antitumor activity, which was performed over the last few years. In order to establish the structure-activity relationship for Ru(II) compounds, we have designed, synthesized and thoroughly studied several Ru(II) complexes, which were divided in three main groups: i) organometallic Ru(II)-arene complexes, ii) Ru(II) half-sandwich coordination complexes bearing neutral face-capping macrocyclic ligands, such as 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS3) and 1,4,7-triazacyclononane ([9]aneN3), and iii) Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes. Our most recent experiments moved toward synthesis, chemistry and reactivity of the heteronuclear ruthenium(II)/ferrocene complexes. The first part of the present review gives a brief overview of the structural features and anticancer activity of ruthenium complexes. The second part is focused mainly on the results obtained from the kinetic and mechanistic studies of the reactions between Ru(II) complexes and guanine derivatives, such as 9-methylguanine (9MeG), guanosine (Guo) and guanosine-5′-monophosphate (5′-GMP), as well as on structural characterization of the final products of these reactions. In the final part we deal with the reactions of Ru(II) complexes with DNA, which is widely accepted as a potential target for cytotoxic ruthenium compounds. We have also described the interactions of Ru(II) compounds with the most abundant transport proteins from human serum: human serum albumin (HSA) and transferrin (Tf). We believe that a systematic review of the aforementioned studies will not only contribute to the future development of ruthenium complexes as potential antitumor agents, but will also help to understand the potential toxicity of ruthenium-based drugs. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Binding of three ruthenium(ii) compounds of general formula mer-[Ru(L3)(N-N)X][Y] (where L3 = 4-chloro-2,2:6,2-terpyridine (Cl-tpy); N-N = 1,2-diaminoethane (en), 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) or 2,2-bipyridine (bipy); X = Cl; Y = Cl) to human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated by nano-LC/nano-ESI MS and docking studies. A bottom-up proteomics approach has been applied for the structural characterization of metallated proteins and the data were analyzed in both the positive and negative ion mode. The negative ion mode was achieved after the post-column addition of an isopropanol solution of formaldehyde that enabled sample ionization at micro-flow rates. The negative ion mode MS has been proved to be beneficial for the analysis of binding sites on ruthenated protein in terms of ion charge reduction and consequent simplification of target sequence identification based on isotopic differences between ruthenated and non-ruthenated peptides. Moreover, the negative ion mode ESI MS shows the advantage of singly charged ion formation and, unlike MALDI MS, it does not cause complete ligand fragmentation, merging the benefits of each method into a single experiment. Six target sequences were identified for the binding of en and dach compounds, and four sequences for the binding of bipy. All compounds have been found to bind histidine and one aspartate residue. Docking studies showed that the identified sequences are the constituents of five distinct binding sites for en and dach, or two sites for the bipy complex. The selection of binding sites seems to be dependent on the chelate ligand and the form of the complex prior or after hydrolysis of the leaving chloride ligand.

AB  - Three coordination compounds of ruthenium(II), belonging to a recently synthesised series of water-soluble compounds of general formula mer-{[}Ru(L3)(N-N) Cl] Cl, where L3 = 4'-chloro2,2': 6', 200-terpyridine (Cl-tpy), N-N= ethylenediamine (en), 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) or 2,2'bipyridine (bpy), have shown strong binding to calf thymus DNA and moderate in vitro cytotoxicity towards cancer cell lines. Knowing that serum proteins play a crucial role in the transport and deactivation of ruthenium drugs, we have conducted a detailed study of their interactions with two major metal-transporting serum proteins, albumin and transferrin, and it is presented herein. Ruthenated protein adducts were formed with various concentrations of the three compounds and then separated from the unbound portions by ultrafiltration through 10 kDa cut-off centrifugal filter units. The stoichiometry of binding was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. One mol of albumin bound up to 7, 8.5 and 1.5 mol of compound 1 ({[}Ru(Cltpy)(en) Cl]{[}Cl]), 2 ({[}Ru(Cl-tpy)(dach) Cl]{[}Cl] and 3 ({[}Ru(Cl-tpy)(bpy) Cl]{[}Cl]), respectively. One mol of transferrin bound up to 3, 3.5 and 0.4 mol of 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The affinity of albumin and transferrin for the three ruthenium compounds was evaluated using fluorescence quenching. The binding constants for 1 and 2 lay within the range 10(4) -10(5) M - 1, suggesting moderate-to-strong attachment to albumin. Both compounds showed much lower affinity for transferrin (10(2) -10(3) M - 1). Compound 3 bound weakly to each studied protein. High resolution ESI qTOF mass spectra of albumin before and after binding of 1 revealed the high stoichiometry of binding. Although the binding of the compounds 1-3 to albumin and transferrin did not affect proteins' secondary structure much, their tertiary structures underwent some alterations, as deduced from the circular dichroism study. Changes in the stability of albumin, after binding to compounds 1-3 were examined by differential scanning calorimetry. (C) 2016 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.

AB  - Photodynamic therapy implies a combined use of a photosensitizing medicament and low-intensity light to cause selective damage to the target tissue—tumor. As potential medicament, we use Ru(II)(dcbpy)2Cl2complex, and in order to achieve better photosensitization properties, the Ru complex was attached to the nano carrier—TiO2nanoparticles. Additionally, this nanocomposite system was encapsulated in the phospholipid vesicles, which could be classified as small unilamellar vesicles, based on the technique of production. The complex-release tests were performed under light illumination, at pH 5, characteristic for tumor cells` interior and compared with the release pattern at pH 7, characteristic for the serum, i.e. physiological solution.

AB  - The selective synthesis of 5,6-dihydropyrimidin-4(3H)-one scaffold (precursor of dihydrouracil) was a very difficult synthetic challenge that, so far, has not been achieved. For the first time, in this paper, green, selective and high-yields approach to 40 novel 5,6-dihydropyrimidin-4(3H)-ones (DHPMs) by one-pot reaction of aldehydes, Meldrum's acid and isothioureas under solvent-free conditions, in the presence of water, since an additive is presented.

AB  - The two new heterometallic Ru(II)-tpy/ferrocene complexes [Ru(tpy)Cl2(mtefc)] (1) and [Ru(tpy)Cl2(mtpfc)] (2) (where tpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, mtefc = (2-(methylthio)ethyl)ferrocene, and mtpfc = (3-(methylthio)propyl)ferrocene) have been synthesized and then characterized through elemental analysis, followed by various spectroscopic (IR, UV-vis, 1D and 2D NMR) and mass spectrometric techniques (MALDI TOF and ESI Q-TOF MS). UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and viscometry were employed to study the interactions of the complexes 1 and 2 with calf thymus DNA. Both 1 and 2 expelled ethidium bromide (EB) from the EB/DNA complex (Ksv = (1.5-1.8) × 104 M-1), which suggested that the complexes intercalated into the double helix of DNA. Both complexes strongly quenched the fluorescence of tryptophan residues in serum albumin through both static and dynamic quenching. Molecular docking confirmed the intercalative mode of complex interaction with DNA. The docking results implied that 1 and 2 interacted with hydrophobic residues of albumin, particularly with those lying in the proximity of Tyr 160. We here demonstrate the high cytotoxic potential of complexes 1 and 2 against the breast cancer cells that originated either from humans (MDA-MB-231) or from mice (4T1), with apoptosis being the main mechanism of complex-induced cell death. It is worth noting that both complexes promoted activation of innate and acquired antitumor immunity, which contributed to the reduced growth and progression of mammary carcinoma in vivo.

AB  - With the aim of assessing whether Au(iii) compounds with pincer type ligands might be utilized as potential antitumor agents, three new monofunctional Au(iii) complexes of the general formula [Au(N-N'-N)Cl]Cl-2, where N-N'-N = 2,6-bis(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (H2LtBu, 1), 2,6-bis(5-tert-butyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (Me2LtBu, 2) or 2,6-bis((4S,7R)-1,7,8,8-tetramethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindazol-3-yl)pyridine (Me-2*L, 3) were synthesized. All complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV-Vis, 1D and 2D NMR) and mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS). The chemical behavior of the complexes under physiological conditions was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy, which showed that all compounds were remarkably stable and that the gold center remained in the 3+ oxidation state. The kinetics and the mechanism of the reaction of complexes 1-3 with guanine derivatives (i.e. guanosine (Guo) and guanosine-5-monophosphate (5-GMP)) and calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) were studied by stopped-flow spectroscopy. The three complexes displayed moderately different rate constants in their reactions with Guo, 5-GMP and CT DNA, which can be explained by the steric hindrance and sigma-donicity of the methyl substituent on the bis-pyrazolylpyridine fragment in complexes 2 and 3. The measured enthalpies and entropies of activation (Delta H-not equal > 0, Delta S-not equal < 0) supported an associative mechanism for the substitution process. The interaction of the newly synthesized complexes 1-3 with CT DNA was investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and also by viscosity measurements, which all indicated that complexes 1-3 bound to CT DNA with moderate binding affinity (K-b = 1.6-5.7 x 10(3) M-1) and stabilized the duplex of CT DNA. Molecular docking indicated that complexes 1-3 interacted with DNA via intercalation. Complex 1 reduced the cell survival of all the investigated cell lines (A549, A375, and LS-174) with IC50 values being up to 20 mu M. We have shown that 1 induced perturbations of the cell cycle and led to apoptosis in human melanoma A375 cells. Complex 1 also affected the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the same cells. However, pre-treatment of A375 cells with NAC (ROS scavenger) reversed the effect of 1 on their survival.

AB  - This paper presents optimization of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer (MS) instrumental parameters for the analysis of chloro(2,2 , 2 -terpyridine) palladium(II) chloride dihydrate complex applying design of experiments methodology (DoE). This complex is of interest for potential use in the cancer therapy. DoE methodology was proved to succeed in optimization of many complex analytical problems. However, it has been poorly used for MALDI-TOF-MS optimization up to now. The theoretical mathematical relationships which explain the influence of important experimental factors (laser energy, grid voltage and number of laser shots) on the selected responses (signal to noise - S/N ratio and the resolution - R of the leading peak) is established.

abstract = "This paper presents optimization of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer (MS) instrumental parameters for the analysis of chloro(2,2 , 2 -terpyridine) palladium(II) chloride dihydrate complex applying design of experiments methodology (DoE). This complex is of interest for potential use in the cancer therapy. DoE methodology was proved to succeed in optimization of many complex analytical problems. However, it has been poorly used for MALDI-TOF-MS optimization up to now. The theoretical mathematical relationships which explain the influence of important experimental factors (laser energy, grid voltage and number of laser shots) on the selected responses (signal to noise - S/N ratio and the resolution - R of the leading peak) is established. The optimal instrumental settings providing maximal S/N and R are identified and experimentally verified.",

AB  - The paper presents chemical and structural analysis of geopolymer materials which are obtained by alkali-activated calcined clay (metakaolin) originated from Serbia under strictly defined conditions. Characterization of the metakaolin and geopolymers molecular structure has been done using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The paper presents the possibility of obtaining geopolymer structure and differences in chemical and structural characterization of these materials taking into account the concentration of NaOH as a variable parameter. The results of MALDI analysis of metakaolin and synthesized geopolymer structures using various matrix system: 2,4,6 trihydroxyacetophenone (THAP), alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic, 2,6 dihydroxyacetophenone and laser desorption/ionization, have shown that THAP matrix is the most appropriate for analysing these aluminosilicate materials.

AB  - In this work it has been shown that both the laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS) and the matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) are the simple and quick methods for determination of relative natural isotopic distribution of lead. The analysis of metal salts with these approaches does not require any time-consuming preparation of samples: a single run can take only a minute, and numerous information can be obtained. Results obtained in this work show that chosen matrix has no negative effect on quantitative determination of lead isotopes and support once more the applicability of MALDI TOF MS for lead isotope distribution determination in the sample and accurate data are obtained. Additionally, the generation of PbnOn and PbnOn-1 (n: 2-6) clusters have been successfully achieved in the positive mode, using the both LDI and MALDI methods. All stoichiometries were confirmed using isotopic pattern modelling.

The use of enolate salts (1a-o) instead of the corresponding esters 1a-o significantly reduced the reaction time (up to 6 h) and good-to-excellent yields were achieved. Groups with electron-donating or -withdrawing effects at the aromatic ring of the ester did not have significant influences on the yield of targeted products. In addition, several selected 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinoxalinones and 3,4dihydro-1,4-benzoxazin-2-ones on a gram-scale in the yields up to 92% were synthesized.

AB  - Izvod: MALDI TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization Time-Of-Flight) masenaspektrometrija je meka jonizaciona tehnika koja se prvenstveno koristi za analizubiomolekula (proteina i nukleinskih kiselina) i omogućava detekciju molekula uzveoma nizak stepen fragmentacije. Kako bi se sprečila/ublažila fragmentacijaizazvana direktnom ekscitacijom laserom, uzorak se meša sa matricama koje imajuvisok apsorpcioni koeficijent u oblasti u kojoj laser emituje. Primarno su sekoristile organske, „tradicionalne“ matrice. Pored brojnih prednosti, organskematrice pokazuju i značajne mane koje onemogućavaju primenu MALDI masenespektrometrije za kvantitativnu analizu molekula i sprečavaju detekciju molekulamalih masa manjih od 1000 Da. Kako se u ovoj grupi molekula nalaze i različitibiološki značajni molekuli (metaboliti) postoji potreba za prevazilaženjemnedostataka organskih matrica.Jedan od najranije primenjenih načina je zamena organskih matrica neorganskimjedinjenjima i/ili nanočesticama (supstratima). Koriste se različiti supstrati nabazi ugljeničnih polimera i sol-gel polimerne strukture na bazi silicijum dioksida.Upotreba nanostrukturnih supstrata u metodi koja je nazvana SALDI (Surface AssistedLaser Desorption and Ionization) u poslednjoj deceniji je predmet velikog brojapublikovanih radova. Međutim, nanočestice od metala i oksida metala, kao što su Au,Pt, Ag, ZnO, Fe i MnO2/MnO3, nude prednost u odnosu na ostale materijale - stabilnijesu u vazduhu i poseduju visoku provodljivost. Prednost nanočestica je apsorpcijaenergije lasera i efikasan prenos energije do uzorka. Istakle su se nanočestice odtitan(IV)-oksida zbog svoje dostupnosti, netoksičnosti i niske cene, što je takođepredmet mnogih publikovanih radova. Osim navedenih osobina, titan(IV)-oksid jepoluprovodnik sa dobrom UV apsorpcijom. Generalno, TiO2 snažno apsorbuje UVsvetlost (ima znatnu širinu energetske barijere, 3,2 eV) azotnog lasera koji se koristiu MALDI TOF masenoj spektrometriji, ali proces pripreme nanočestica TiO2verovatno ima snažan uticaj na apsorpciju jer ona zavisi od veličine, oblika i sastavačestica. Površina, a posredno i veličina i oblik kristala utiču na analitičkeperformanse i jonizacionu efikasnost u SALDI masenoj spektrometriji.U ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji korišćeni su nanokristali TiO2 različite veličinei oblika: koloidne nanočestice TiO2 (TiO2 NČ) prosečnog dijametra 5 nm, elipsoidnenanočestice TiO2 (TiO2 ENČ) dužine 40-50 nm, lateralne dimenzije 14-16 nm inanotube TiO2 (TiO2 NT) dužine od 100 do 150 nm i prosečnog dijametra od 11 nm.Molekuli na kojima je bila testirana potencijalna primena nanokristala su biološkiaktivni molekuli malih masa: amino-kiseline (L-cistein, L-alanin, DL-metionin),tripeptid glutation, polni steroidni hormoni (estradiol, testosteron, progesteron),ugljeni hidrati (D-(+)-glukoza, D-(+)-maltoza, rafinoza, arabinoza, β-ciklodekstrin),limunska kiselina, deksametazon (deksazon), vitamini (vitamin A i vitamin E).
AB  - Summary:MALDI TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization Time-Of-Flight) massspectrometry is soft ionization technique. Primarily, this technique was used for the analysis ofbiomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids with low level of their fragmentation. In orderto prevent/reduce fragmentation of analyzed molecules, induced with direct excitation withlaser, samples are mixed with matrix molecules. Matrix has high absorption coefficient in therange of the laser emission. In spite of numerous advantages, there are serious drawbacks ofthe matrices, and because of that they cannot be used for quantitative MALDI massspectrometric analysis and for the detection of small molecules (molecular mass less than 1000Da). In this group of molecules (mass less than 1000 Da) there are various biologically activemolecules (metabolites), so there is a great need to overcome disadvantages of the applicationof organic matrices.Considerable efforts have been made to overcome the above mention problems andseveral alternative approaches have been developed: an organic-matrix-free approach in whichthe substrates, usually nanoparticles act as a matrix. Many are in use: graphite, silica gel, carbonpowder, activated carbon, graphene, porous silicon, and many more.The term SALDI (Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization) was coined todesignate the techniques that use nanostructured substrates. The use of various nanoparticlesas substrates in SALDI MS has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. Nanoparticlesabsorb the laser energy and then rapidly transfer to analyzed molecule. However, the substratesprepared from materials based on metal-oxides (Аu, Pt, Ag, ZnO, Fe and MnO2/MnO3) aremore stable in the air and have a high conductivity. Titanium(IV)-oxide (TiO2) is consideredto be a good candidate for SALDI substrate since it is readily available, chemically stable, nontoxicand inexpensive material. Titanium(IV)-oxide is a semiconductor with high absorptivityof UV light of nitrogen laser (have a large band gap 3.2 eV) which is used in MALDI TOFmass spectrometry, but the method of synthesis of TiO2 nanocrystal have a great impact onabsorption because this phenomena depends on size, shape and composition of nanoparticles.In this doctoral thesis, the applicability of TiO2 nanocrystals of different size and shape wastested. Colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs, average diameter ~ 5 nm), TiO2 prolatenanospheroids (PNSs, length: 40–50 nm, the lateral dimension: 14–16 nm) and TiO2 nanotubes(NTs, length: 100-150 nm, average diameter 11 nm) were used as substrates for potentialSALDI TOF MS quantitative analysis of low mass molecules. The analyzed molecules werebiologically active molecules with small molecule mass (Mm less than 1000 Da): amino acids(L-cysteine, L-alanine, DL-methionine), tripeptide glutathione, sex steroid hormones (estradiol,testosterone, progesterone), carbohydrates (D-(+)-glucose, D-(+)-maltose, raffinose, arabinose,β-cyclodextrin), citric acid, dexamethasone (dexasone), vitamins (vitamin А and vitamin Е).

Kako bi se sprečila/ublažila fragmentacijaizazvana direktnom ekscitacijom laserom, uzorak se meša sa matricama koje imajuvisok apsorpcioni koeficijent u oblasti u kojoj laser emituje. Primarno su sekoristile organske, „tradicionalne“ matrice. Pored brojnih prednosti, organskematrice pokazuju i značajne mane koje onemogućavaju primenu MALDI masenespektrometrije za kvantitativnu analizu molekula i sprečavaju detekciju molekulamalih masa manjih od 1000 Da. Kako se u ovoj grupi molekula nalaze i različitibiološki značajni molekuli (metaboliti) postoji potreba za prevazilaženjemnedostataka organskih matrica.Jedan od najranije primenjenih načina je zamena organskih matrica neorganskimjedinjenjima i/ili nanočesticama (supstratima). Koriste se različiti supstrati nabazi ugljeničnih polimera i sol-gel polimerne strukture na bazi silicijum dioksida.Upotreba nanostrukturnih supstrata u metodi koja je nazvana SALDI (Surface AssistedLaser Desorption and Ionization) u poslednjoj deceniji je predmet velikog brojapublikovanih radova. Međutim, nanočestice od metala i oksida metala, kao što su Au,Pt, Ag, ZnO, Fe i MnO2/MnO3, nude prednost u odnosu na ostale materijale - stabilnijesu u vazduhu i poseduju visoku provodljivost. Prednost nanočestica je apsorpcijaenergije lasera i efikasan prenos energije do uzorka. Istakle su se nanočestice odtitan(IV)-oksida zbog svoje dostupnosti, netoksičnosti i niske cene, što je takođepredmet mnogih publikovanih radova. Osim navedenih osobina, titan(IV)-oksid jepoluprovodnik sa dobrom UV apsorpcijom. Generalno, TiO2 snažno apsorbuje UVsvetlost (ima znatnu širinu energetske barijere, 3,2 eV) azotnog lasera koji se koristiu MALDI TOF masenoj spektrometriji, ali proces pripreme nanočestica TiO2verovatno ima snažan uticaj na apsorpciju jer ona zavisi od veličine, oblika i sastavačestica. Površina, a posredno i veličina i oblik kristala utiču na analitičkeperformanse i jonizacionu efikasnost u SALDI masenoj spektrometriji.U ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji korišćeni su nanokristali TiO2 različite veličinei oblika: koloidne nanočestice TiO2 (TiO2 NČ) prosečnog dijametra 5 nm, elipsoidnenanočestice TiO2 (TiO2 ENČ) dužine 40-50 nm, lateralne dimenzije 14-16 nm inanotube TiO2 (TiO2 NT) dužine od 100 do 150 nm i prosečnog dijametra od 11 nm.Molekuli na kojima je bila testirana potencijalna primena nanokristala su biološkiaktivni molekuli malih masa: amino-kiseline (L-cistein, L-alanin, DL-metionin),tripeptid glutation, polni steroidni hormoni (estradiol, testosteron, progesteron),ugljeni hidrati (D-(+)-glukoza, D-(+)-maltoza, rafinoza, arabinoza, β-ciklodekstrin),limunska kiselina, deksametazon (deksazon), vitamini (vitamin A i vitamin E)., Summary:MALDI TOF (Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization Time-Of-Flight) massspectrometry is soft ionization technique. Primarily, this technique was used for the analysis ofbiomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids with low level of their fragmentation. In orderto prevent/reduce fragmentation of analyzed molecules, induced with direct excitation withlaser, samples are mixed with matrix molecules. Matrix has high absorption coefficient in therange of the laser emission. In spite of numerous advantages, there are serious drawbacks ofthe matrices, and because of that they cannot be used for quantitative MALDI massspectrometric analysis and for the detection of small molecules (molecular mass less than 1000Da). In this group of molecules (mass less than 1000 Da) there are various biologically activemolecules (metabolites), so there is a great need to overcome disadvantages of the applicationof organic matrices.Considerable efforts have been made to overcome the above mention problems andseveral alternative approaches have been developed: an organic-matrix-free approach in whichthe substrates, usually nanoparticles act as a matrix. Many are in use: graphite, silica gel, carbonpowder, activated carbon, graphene, porous silicon, and many more.The term SALDI (Surface-Assisted Laser Desorption and Ionization) was coined todesignate the techniques that use nanostructured substrates. The use of various nanoparticlesas substrates in SALDI MS has attracted a lot of attention in the last decade. Nanoparticlesabsorb the laser energy and then rapidly transfer to analyzed molecule. However, the substratesprepared from materials based on metal-oxides (Аu, Pt, Ag, ZnO, Fe and MnO2/MnO3) aremore stable in the air and have a high conductivity. Titanium(IV)-oxide (TiO2) is consideredto be a good candidate for SALDI substrate since it is readily available, chemically stable, nontoxicand inexpensive material. Titanium(IV)-oxide is a semiconductor with high absorptivityof UV light of nitrogen laser (have a large band gap 3.2 eV) which is used in MALDI TOFmass spectrometry, but the method of synthesis of TiO2 nanocrystal have a great impact onabsorption because this phenomena depends on size, shape and composition of nanoparticles.In this doctoral thesis, the applicability of TiO2 nanocrystals of different size and shape wastested. Colloidal TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs, average diameter ~ 5 nm), TiO2 prolatenanospheroids (PNSs, length: 40–50 nm, the lateral dimension: 14–16 nm) and TiO2 nanotubes(NTs, length: 100-150 nm, average diameter 11 nm) were used as substrates for potentialSALDI TOF MS quantitative analysis of low mass molecules. The analyzed molecules werebiologically active molecules with small molecule mass (Mm less than 1000 Da): amino acids(L-cysteine, L-alanine, DL-methionine), tripeptide glutathione, sex steroid hormones (estradiol,testosterone, progesterone), carbohydrates (D-(+)-glucose, D-(+)-maltose, raffinose, arabinose,β-cyclodextrin), citric acid, dexamethasone (dexasone), vitamins (vitamin А and vitamin Е).",

AB  - Six new dinuclear Pd(II) complexes, [{Pd(2,2-bipy)Cl}(2)(mu-pz)](ClO4)2 (Pd1), [{Pd(dach)Cl}(2)(mu-pz)](ClO4)(2) (Pd2), [{Pd(en)Cl}(2)(mu-pz)] (ClO4)(2) (Pd3), [{Pd(2,2-bipy)Cl}(2)(mu-4,4-bipy)](ClO4)(2) (Pd4), [{Pd(dach)Cl}(2)(mu-4,4-bipy)] (ClO4)(2) (Pd5) and [{Pd(en)Cl-2(mu-4,4-bipy)](ClO4)(2) (Pd6) (where 2,2-bipy = 2,2-bipyridyl, pz = pyrazine, dach = trans-(+/-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, en = ethylenediamine, 4,4-bipy = 4,4-bipyridyl) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental microanalysis, IR, H-1 NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The pK(a) values of corresponding diaqua complexes were determined by spectrophotometric pH titration. Substitution reactions with thiourea (Tu), L-methionine (L-Met), L-cysteine (L-Cys), L-histidine (L-His) and guanosine-5-monophosphate (5-GMP) were studied under the pseudo-first order conditions at pH 7.2. Reactions of Pdl with Tu, L-Met and L-Cys were followed by decomposition of complexes, while structures of dinuclear complexes were preserved during the substitution with nitrogen donors. Interactions with calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA) were followed by absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching measurements. All complexes can bind to CT-DNA exhibiting high intrinsic binding constants (K-b = 10(4)-10(5) M-1). Competitive studies with ethidium bromide (EB) have shown that complexes can displace DNA-bound EB. High values of binding constants towards bovine serum albumin protein (BSA) indicate good binding affinity. Finally, all complexes showed moderate to high cytotoxic activity against HeLa (human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell lines) and MDA-MB-231 (human breast epithelial carcinoma cell lines) tumor cell lines inducing apoptotic type cell death, whereas normal fibroblasts were significantly less sensitive. The impact on cell cycle of these cells was distinctive, where Pd4, Pd5 and Pd6 showed the most prominent effect arresting MDA-MB-231 (human lung fibroblast cell lines) cell in G1/S phase of cell cycle.
