Bentham Books | Making Chemistry Education More Engaging with Computers

 

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has been the main reason behind several temporary school closures around the world. This has made the idea of continuing to pursue educational activities during this time a challenging proposition. The current lockdowns implemented in different countries has forced schoolteachers who wish to complete their current teaching periods to transition immediately to the online classroom. Many schools have already started online classes in the wake of the crisis caused by the global COVID-19 crises. Accessing and managing online teaching resources can be a bit difficult for educators or pupils accustomed to a conventional classroom.

A couple of our authors reached out to us and asked if Bentham Science had a solution for their book, Computer Based Projects for a Chemistry Curriculum – which is a great resource for school and college students and teachers interesting in using computers to illustrate fundamental concepts in chemistry. And we have responded. Starting today up to June 30, Bentham Science Publishers is making the eBook free to download. This means high school teachers and students anywhere in the world can access the content benefit from the projects presented in the book.

Computer Based Projects for a Chemistry Curriculum, authored by Thomas Manning and Aurora Grumatges, presents 24 chapters each giving information about activities employing applications such as MS excel (spreadsheets) and Spartan (computational modeling). Each project is explained in a simple, easy-to-understand manner. The content within this book is suitable as a guide for both teachers and students and each chapter is supplemented with practice guidelines and exercises. The book contents can be accessed here.

We hope that students around the world can benefit from the interesting and informative variety of projects presented in the book, while also allowing educators working in schools to continue their teaching activities throughout the academic year amidst the current pandemic crisis. Stay safe, and happy chemistry learning. Please visit the book page here: http://bit.ly/39uzhTW

Highlighted article: Antiproliferative Effect of Novel Aminoacridine-based Compounds

Abstract

We tested the antiproliferative activity and mechanism of the action of several novel aminoacridine derivatives. Six different cancer cell lines were used to evaluate the potential cytotoxic effect of eleven aminoacridine-based molecules. A standard MTT assay was used for cell bioavailability analysis. Additionally, the potential cytotoxic effect of the tested compounds on non-cancer cells was investigated in rat skeletal muscle myotubes (L6) and in bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. In order to investigate whether the DNA binding activity of tested compounds correlated with their cytotoxic effect, circular dichroism (CD) measurement and DNA T4 ligase assay were performed. Finally, the potential mutagenic activity of the lead compound 5 was investigated.

The cytotoxic effect of compound 5 in cancer cells was obtained in lower concentrations than the well-known: 9- aminoacridine based drug, amsacrine. The lead compound binds to DNA, but in a different mode than the parent molecules. Additionally, compound 5 was not cytotoxic in the effective range of concentrations in non-cancer cells. In identical concentrations, the parent compound (9-aminoacridine) and amsacrine were extremely toxic for both types of these normal cells. Finally, based on CD measurement and T4 ligase assay, it was confirmed that 5 binds to DNA but in different from the parent compounds manner. Important to mention, that compound 5 might have increased mutagenic activity which must be verified in vivo.

Based on these in vitro results, we conclude that 5 is a more potent and more selective antiprolifirative compound than amsacrine. Compound 5 was also more effective in HepG2 and P-12 cells. Thus, 5 is suitable for future in vivo biological evaluation and its structure might be used as a basis for developing novel anticancer drugs.
