The Structural Photodynamic Behaviour of Topotecan, a Potent Anti-Cancer Drug, in Aqueous Solutions at Different pHs.

Abstract

In this work, we report on photophysical studies of the anti-cancer drug topotecan (TPT) in aqueous solutions at different pHs. We used steady-state (uv-visible absorption and emission) and time-resolved picosecond (ps) emission spectroscopies to investigate the role of the H-bonding interactions as well as the proton concentration (pH = 0.48-7.40) on the behaviour of topotecan (TPT) in its ground- (S0) and electronically first (S1) excited-states. At physiological conditions (pH = 7.40), the drug exists at S0 in equilibrium between the enol (E), cation (C), and zwitterion (Z) forms. The photoformation of Z* (?Z = 5.83 ns) occurs from directly excited (?exc = 371 nm) E as the two-step reaction: E*?C*?Z*. In this process, a very fast (less than 10 ps) protonation of E* leads to C*, which subsequently undergoes fast (580 ps) deprotonation to give Z* as the final photoproduct. At higher proton concentrations (pH = 0.48-1.31), a ground-state equilibrium exists between three different cationic species (C1, C2, and C3). The proton motion from the acidic solution to the C forms of TPT to give the reactions C1*?C2*?C3* is governed by the proton diffusion. In these conditions, both dynamic and static quenching occurs. The rate constant values and for the direct protonation of C1* and C2*, respectively, depend on the pH of the surrounding. The number of protons implicated in the reaction changes from ~ 2 (pH = 0.48-0.78) to ~ 1 (pH = 0.78-1.31), thus indicating the existence of two different reactions and proton-transfer dynamics. These results evidence the conformational, structural, and dynamical changes of aqueous solutions of TPT with the pH of the environment. They should help to understand the molecular structure/activity of TPT at cellular level.

DarwinTunes Iterates, Mixes And Culls To Create Listenable Music From Noise

Musicians also know that musical compositions benefit from the appropriate amount of silence between notes. If this algorithm were tweaked a bit to include some relative silence here and there, I think it would help the "listenable" factor. Take the final tune for example, and imagine a four-count measure that contained only one note or instrument (or even bass drum-like sound) playing eighth notes on beats 1,2,3,4. It'd create some anticipation, I think. This is the electronic equivalent of "white guy

Second day of sweltering heat blankets Northeast

Cities across the Northeast saw a second straight day of temperatures above 90 degrees.

In Vermont, temperatures soared to 97 degrees in Burlington and 77 degrees atop Mount Mansfield, the state's highest point at more than 4,300 feet.

Meanwhile, temperatures in Georgetown, Del., and John F. Kennedy Airport in New York reached 97 degrees -- records at both locations for June 21.

Boston's Logan Airport reached 96 degrees just after 3 p.m., breaking a record set more than 60 years ago.

LaGuardia Airport in New York, Bradley Airport in Hartford, Conn., and Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C., tied their June 21 records.

For the Northeast, the 30 million people who saw the heat move in Wednesday felt even warmer temps on Thursday. Friday should be another hot one, followed by cooler temperatures on Saturday.

"American Idol" hopefuls in Newark, N.J., got a bit of a break from the heat, the Associated Press reported. They were ushered inside Newark's Prudential Center on Thursday morning to register to audition.

Heat advisories are in effect across the Northeast until then, and farther inland the situation wasn't any better.

"Excessive heat warnings" were issued for the mid-Hudson Valley and southeastern Catskills in New York. It should feel like 105 to 110 degrees there on Thursday, the National Weather Service said.

The same warnings were issued for parts of Arizona "where high temperatures are expected to reach 110 to 114 degrees," the weather service stated.

Wednesday's records included: Newark, N.J. (98), Hartford, Conn. (97), Burlington, Vt. (95), Massena, N.Y. (92), Binghampton, N.Y. (90) and Houlton, Maine (90).

In Connecticut, golf officials at the Travelers Championship on Wednesday treated dozens for heat exhaustion.

"People are coming in dizzy, a little nausea, vomiting, generally poor feeling overall," emergency medical services director John Quinlavin said. "We generally have a more mature audience here, and we do see a lot of the elderly having some problems with the heat."

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
