AB  - Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part of a fragment that corresponds to the side chains of cysteine (Cys), methionine (Met) selenocysteine (Sec) and selenomethionine (Mse). The most numerous are structures with C-H..Se and C-H..S interactions (∼80%), notably less numerous are structures with Se..Se and S..S interactions (∼5%), and Se..π and S..π interactions are the least numerous. The results of quantum-chemical calculations have indicated that C-H..Se (∼-0.8 kcal mol-1) and C-H..S interactions are weaker than the most stable parallel interaction (∼-3.3 kcal mol-1) and electrostatic interactions of σ/π type (∼-2.6 kcal mol-1). Their significant presence can be explained by the abundance of CH groups compared with the numbers of Se and S atoms in the crystal structures, and also by the influence of substituents bonded to the Se or S atom that further reduce their possibilities for interacting with species from the environment. This can also offer an explanation as to why O-H..Se (∼-4.4 kcal mol-1) and N-H..Se interactions (∼-2.2 kcal mol-1) are less numerous. Docking studies revealed that S and Se rarely participate in interactions with the amino acid residues of target enzymes, mostly because those residues preferentially interact with the substituents bonded to Se and S. The differences between Se and S ligands in the number and positions of their binding sites are more pronounced if the substituents are polar and if there are more Se/S atoms in the ligand. © 2020 International Union of Crystallography.

AB  - Conventional chemotherapy is the most common therapeutic method for treating cancer by the application of small toxic molecules thatinteract with DNA and causecell death. Unfortunately, these chemotherapeutic agents are non-selective and can damage both cancer and healthy tissues, producing diverse side effects, andthey can have a short circulation half-life and limited targeting. Many synthetic polymers have found application as nanocarriers of intelligent drug delivery systems (DDSs). Their unique physicochemical properties allow them to carry drugs with high efficiency, specificallytarget cancer tissue and control drug release. In recent years, considerable efforts have been made to design smart nanoplatforms, including amphiphilic block copolymers, polymer-drug conjugates and in particular pH- and redox-stimuli-responsive nanoparticles (NPs). This review is focused on a new generation of polymer-based DDSs with specific chemical functionalities that improve their hydrophilicity, drug loading and cellular interactions.Recentlydesigned multifunctional DDSs used in cancer therapy are highlighted in this review.

AB  - Urban airborne particles contain a wide spectrum of components, known to have harmful effects on human health. This study reports a detailed investigation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), chemical content and oxidative potential derived from two different urban environments. During summer and winter, 20-day campaigns were conducted at Belgrade city center (urban-background site – UB) and Bor (urban-industrial site – UI). Using various analytical techniques, carbonaceous compounds, water-soluble inorganic ions, major and trace elements were determined, while the oxidative potential of PM2.5 was estimated by dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay (OPDCFH values). The mean PM2.5 concentrations in both urban environments were above the recommended daily value, and the dominant PM2.5 mass contributor was organic matter (29–55%). The OC/EC ratio was significantly higher at UB site during winter, which was an indication of a considerable contribution of secondary organic carbon to the overall organic carbon (OC). Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) was also higher at UB than at UI site, and it probably came from the same sources as OC. In general, the different partition of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in warm and cold periods affected the number of organic components. Sulfates and nitrates were the most abundant ions at both sites and they counted approximately 40% (summer) and 50% (winter) of total ions. Further, the concentrations of the most elements, particularly some potentially carcinogenic elements such as As, Cd and Pb were significantly higher at UI, due to the emissions from the copper smelter complex in the vicinity. The mean OPDCFH values were similar during the summer at both sampling sites, whereas a statistically significant difference between sites was noticed in favor of UB environment in winter.

AB  - Cancer is one of the most common fatal diseases in humans nowadays. About 20 million new cancer cases are expected in the next two decades worldwide. The development of new chemotherapeutic agents with improved properties is presently the main challenge in the medicinal chemistry. Cisplatin was introduced to oncology in 1978 as first chemotherapeutic agent regarding its specific interaction with DNA, leading to its damage and causing the cell death. Since the first application of cisplatin in cancer therapy, there has been a growing interest in new metal-based compounds, in particular platinum and ruthenium complexes, with better anticancer activity and less side-effects compared to cisplatin. Carboplatin and oxaliplatin have shown promising action against some types of cancer, which are resistant to cisplatin. With the aim to overcome cross-resistance to these Pt(II) drugs, bioavailable platinum complexes (satraplatin and picoplatin) firstly found application as orally administered drugs, as well as some combined therapies of Pt(II) drugs (cisplatin, picoplatin) with specific resistant modulators. In recent years, novel polymer and liposomal formulations of platinum drugs (prolindac, lipoplatin, lipoxal, aroplatin) have been designed with strategy to improve drug delivery to target cancer cells and reduce toxicity. Complexes based on ruthenium have great potential to become leading candidates for the medical use in anticancer therapy. Some of these compounds have shown good anticancer activity, both in vitro and in vivo and two of them (KP1019 and NAMI-A) have passed clinical trials and given promising results.

AB  - It is known that some bacterial species are more resilient to different kinds of irradiation due to the naturally developed protective mechanisms and compounds such as pigments. On the other hand, reasoned tissue engineering using plasma remains a critical task and requires very precise control of plasma parameters in order to mitigate its potential detrimental effects. Here we isolated a natural protective agent, microbially produced undecylprodigiosin ((5'2)-4'-methoxy-5'-[(5-undecy1-1H-pyrrol2-yl)methylenel-1H,5'H-2,2'-bipyrrole), and investigated its effects on human blood cells independently and in combination with plasma. Two apprOaches were applied; the first, undecylprodigiosin (UP pigment) was added to the blood cultures, which then were exposed to plasma (pre-treatment); and the second- the blood cultures were exposed to plasma and then treated with pigment (post-treatment). The interactions of plasma and UP pigment with blood cells were investigated by conducting a series of biological tests providing the information regarding their genotoxicity, cytotoxicity and redox modulating activities. The exposure of cells to plasma induced oxidative stress as well as certain genotoxic and cytotoxic effects seen as elevated micronuclei incidence, decreased cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis. In blood cultures treated with UP pigment alone, we found that both cytotoxic and protective effects could be induced depending on the concentration used. The highest UP pigment concentration increased lipid peroxidation and the incidence of micronuclei by more than 70% with maximal suppression of cell proliferation. On the contrary, we found that the lowest UP pigment concentration displayed protective effects. In combined treatments with plasma and UP pigment, we found that UP pigment could provide spatial shielding to plasma exposure. In the pre-treatment approach, the incidence of micronuclei was reduced by 35.52% compared to control while malondialdehyde level decreased by 36% indicating a significant mitigation of membrane damage induced by plasma. These results open perspectives for utilizing UP pigment for protection against overexposures in the field of plasma medicine. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

In the pre-treatment approach, the incidence of micronuclei was reduced by 35.52% compared to control while malondialdehyde level decreased by 36% indicating a significant mitigation of membrane damage induced by plasma. These results open perspectives for utilizing UP pigment for protection against overexposures in the field of plasma medicine. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.",

AB  - Na+/K+ ATPase is a membrane enzyme that uses the enegry released from the molecule ofadenosine triphosphate to regulate the sodium and potasium ion concentration on either sideof the cell membrane in most living creatures. Appart from its transporter role, it also has arole as a signal molecule, because it regulates the activity of Src kinase, an importantenzyme in cell signaling and survival. Beacuse of these properties, Na+/K+ ATPase isrecognized as an important molecular target in many disorders including tumors. Noblemetal complexes, and especially gold complexes have shown the tendency to inhibitNa+/K+ ATPase. This makes them potential terapeutics, analogous to platinum basedcomplexes that are a part of modern chemotherapy. Colloid nanoparticles of gold have alsoshown interesting properties in the past. This study presents the findings on the interactionof several preparations of Na+/K+ ATPase with 9 different complexes of gold and 3different types of gold colloid nanoparticles.Results shown in this thesis indicate that 6 out of 9 investigated complexes have amoderatley strong inhibitory effect upon the Na+/K+ ATPase. It is shown that this inhibitionis noncompetitive and reversible, and that it can be reversed by –SH group donors such ascysteine and glutathione. Moreover, this inhibition can be fully prevented by adding thesesubstances prior to the addition of the complex. Therefore it is concluded that the bindingof these complexes takes place through –SH groups of cysteine residues in the enzyme.Some of the investigated complexes have shown a strong cytotoxic effect upon humanlymphocytes, which makes them good candidates for further clinical studies. MALDI TOFmass spectroscopy has shown that there is a direct reaction between –SH group donors andthe gold complex.Investigated nanoparticles yielded no significant inhibitory effect. One type of thenanoparticles, however, has shown some very unusual properties. Upon the addition of thistype of colloid nanoparticles, labeled C3 and with an average diameter of 9.5 nm, to thepreparation of synaptosomal plasma membranes, the activity of Na+/K+ ATPase doubled,while the activity of other present enzymes remained the same. Further investigation of thisinteraction has shown that the cause of this is a physical change in the structure of themembrane fragments. It is the result of two paralel chemical interactions that take placewhen the nanoparticles are added to the enzyme preparation. Changes in UV/vis and FTIRspectra of the nanoparticles were observed and using atomic force microscopy it waspossible to visualize the change in the nanostructure of the enzyme preparation upon theaddition of nanoparticles. This change resulted in an increase of the active membranesurface, exposing more molecules of the enzyme and making them available for thereaction. This caused an increase of the enzyme activity. Selectivity of the Na+/K+ ATPasetowards its natural ligands was preserved, and the effect of increased activity persisted forat least an hour before diminishing.In conclusion, investigated complexes and nanoparticles of gold have shown importantproperties. The effects of gold complexes make them potential antitumor drugs, while thenanoparticles of gold may be used to develop better assays for membrane enzymes.

Changes in UV/vis and FTIRspectra of the nanoparticles were observed and using atomic force microscopy it waspossible to visualize the change in the nanostructure of the enzyme preparation upon theaddition of nanoparticles. This change resulted in an increase of the active membranesurface, exposing more molecules of the enzyme and making them available for thereaction. This caused an increase of the enzyme activity. Selectivity of the Na+/K+ ATPasetowards its natural ligands was preserved, and the effect of increased activity persisted forat least an hour before diminishing.In conclusion, investigated complexes and nanoparticles of gold have shown importantproperties. The effects of gold complexes make them potential antitumor drugs, while thenanoparticles of gold may be used to develop better assays for membrane enzymes.",

AB  - Ispitana je inhibicija slobodne acetilholinesteraze (AChE) odabranim organotiofosfatima (OP) (diazinon, malation, hlorpirifos, azinfos-metil, forat) i njihovim oksoanalozima (diazokson, malaokson, hlorpirifos-okson, azinfos-metil-okson, forat-okson), pri čemu su optimizovani uslovi za detekciju najniže koncentracije tih jedinjenja primenom AChE testa. Određene su IC50 vrednosti za sva navedena jedinjenja. U cilju povećanja osetljivosti AChE testa, ispitivani organo-tiofosfati prevedeni su u okso-analoge u prisustvu enzima mijeloperoksidaze (MPO). To je potvreno pomoćuUPLC i GC/MS analize. Nastali oksidacioni proizvodi stabilni su najmanje 1h. Maksimalne koncentracije oksona dobijaju se kada se organo-tiofosfati inkubiraju sa 100 nM MPO u prisustvu H2O2 koncentracije 50 μM, pri pH 6, na temperaturi 25 °C u toku 10 minuta. Oksidacija OP u prisustvu MPO pod navedenim uslovima primenjena je u modifikaciji metode za detekciju OP na bazi inhibicije AChE. Određena je granica detekcije modifikovane metode, kao i efikasnost oksidacije i njena primena na smešu OP.

AB  - The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in the presence of selected organothiophosphates (diazinon, malathion, chlorpyrifos, azinphos-methyl, phorate) andtheir oxo-analogues (diazoxon, malaoxon, chlorpyrifos-oxon, azinphos-methyl-oxon,phorate-oxon) was examined. Experimental conditions were optimized to detect the lowestposible concentrations of these compounds using AChE test. IC50 values were determinedfor all the mentioned compounds.Investigated organothiophosphates have been converted into their oxo-analogues inthe presence of the enzyme myeloperoxidase. Oxidation products were detected usingUPLC and GC/MS analysis. It was found that the products are stable within minimum 1h.In order to optimize oxidation procedure and achieve maximum concentrations of oxons,the optimal concentrations of H2O2 (50 μM) and MPO (100 nM) were determined. Also,the optimal incubation time of OPs and MPO (10 min), as well as the optimal pH (6) andtemperature (25 °C) were estimated. Oxidation of OPs in the presence of MPO underoptimal conditions was applied as a modification of the method for detecting OP usingAChE test. The detection limits were determined for the modified method, as well as theefficiency of oxidation and its application for the analysi of sintetic mixture of OPs.Examined organothiophosphates have been converted into their oxo-forms usingelectrochemically generated halogens. Products have been identified as oxons using UPLCanalysis. It was found that the the most efficient oxidation of OPs was carried out by after15 minutes of oxidation with electrogenerated bromine. Detection limits were determined,too.
