High Cysteinyl Leukotriene Receptor 1 Expression Correlates with Poor Survival of Uveal Melanoma Patients and Cognate Antagonist Drugs Modulate the Growth, Cancer Secretome, and Metabolism of Uveal Melanoma Cells.

Kayleigh Slater et al.

Cancers, 12(10) (2020-10-18)

Metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare, but often lethal, form of ocular cancer arising from melanocytes within the uveal tract. UM has a high propensity to spread hematogenously to the liver, with up to 50% of patients developing liver

Approaching two-dimensional polymers with macroscopic sizes.

Payam Payamyar et al.

Chimia, 67(4), 283-285 (2013-08-24)

We describe the challenges involved with extending the limited lateral size of two-dimensional polymers (2DPs). An amphiphilic monomer with three-fold symmetry is chosen to form an ideally tessellated monolayer at the air/water interface. Anthracene [4+4] photo-dimerization is chosen as the

Mechanism of "turn-on" fluorescent sensors for mercury(II) in solution and its implications for ligand design.

Hyunjung Lee et al.

Inorganic chemistry, 51(20), 10904-10915 (2012-09-26)

The tendency of a Hg(II) ion to strongly quench fluorescence of potential fluorescent sensors is explored. Fluorescence measurements show the expected order of the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF) effect of Zn(II) > Cd(II) > Hg(II) ~ Cu(II), which is interpreted as

A bowl-shaped organic host using bispyridine ligands: selective encapsulation of carbonyl guests in water.

Kohei Yazaki et al.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 49(16), 1630-1632 (2013-01-23)

A bowl-shaped organic host was prepared by linking two anthracene-embedded bispyridine ligands with two methylene spacers. The water-soluble host has a hemispherical hydrophobic cavity (∼1 nm in diameter) with two cationic methylenebispyridinyl (Lewis acidic) moieties and shows the selective recognition

Dynamic covalent bond based on reversible photo [4 + 4] cycloaddition of anthracene for construction of double-dynamic polymers.

Jiang-Fei Xu et al.

Organic letters, 15(24), 6148-6151 (2013-11-19)

Dynamic covalent bonds supplied by reversible anthracene dimerization were combined with pillar[5]arene/imidazole host-guest interactions to construct double-dynamic polymers. Heating such polymers (in solution or as a gel) led to depolymerization by dissociation of either the host-guest complexes alone or the
