    THE JOURNAL OF ALTERNATIVE AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE Volume 10, Number 2, 2004, pp. 337–344 ©Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. Germane Facts About Germanium Sesquioxide: I.

FIELD, Ph.D., R.D. 4 ABSTRACT This paper reviews the history, chemistry, safety, toxicity, and anticancer effects of the organogermanium compound bis (2-carboxyethylgermanium) sesquioxide (CEGS). A companion review follows, discussing the inaccuracies in the scientific record that have prematurely terminated research on clinical uses of CEGS. CEGS is a unique organogermanium compound first made by Mironov and coworkers in Russia and, shortly there- after, popularized by Asai and his colleagues in Japan. Low concentrations of germanium occur in nearly all soils, plants and animal life; natural occurrence of the CEGS form is postulated but not yet demonstrated. The literature demonstrating its anticancer effect is particularly strong: CEGS induces interferon- g (IFN-g), en- hances natural killer cell activity, and inhibits tumor and metastatic growth—effects often detectable after a single oral dose. In addition, oral consumption of CEGS is readily assimilated and rapidly cleared from the body without evidence of toxicity. Given these findings, the absence of human clinical trials of CEGS is un- expected. Possible explanations of why the convincing findings from animal research have not been used to support clinical trials are discussed. Clinical trials on CEGS are recommended.

Cook Chair Prof. Mukund P. Sibi Prof. Pinjing Zhao Prof. Dean Webster Approved: November 16, 2018 Prof. Gregory R. Cook Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The central core of many biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals contain N-heterocycles, the installation of simple/complex functional groups using C-H/N-H functionalization methodologies has the potential to dramatically increase the efficiency of synthesis with respect to resources, time and overall steps to key intermediate/products. Transition metal-catalyzed functionalization of N-heterocycles proved as a powerful tool for the construction of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds. The work in this dissertation describes the development of palladium catalyzed allylation, and the transition metal catalyzed C-H activation for selective functionalization of electron deficient N-heterocycles. Chapter 1 A thorough study highlighting the important developments made in transition metal catalyzed approaches for C-C and C-X bond forming reactions is discussed with a focus on allylation, directed indole C-2 substitution and vinylic C-H activation.

  • Mechanistic Considerations on the Hydrodechlorination Process of Polychloroarenes
    Chapter 3 Mechanistic Considerations on the Hydrodechlorination Process of Polychloroarenes YoshiharuYoshiharu Mitoma, Mitoma, Yumi KatayamaYumi Katayama andand CristianCristian Simion Simion Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.79083 Abstract Defunctionalization of organochlorines through reductive dechlorination (also known as hydrodechlorination—replacement of chlorine atoms by hydrogen—is one of the main methodologies used in the detoxification of these harmful compounds. Most of the pub- lished papers on this particular matter focused on specific reagents, reaction conditions, and mainly result efficiency. Some of the authors were also concerned with reaction -path ways (e.g., the order in which chlorine atoms were removed from a polychlorinated aro- matic substrate—polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs; polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, PCDDs; or polychlorinated dibenzofurans, PCDFs). However, the papers that dealt with the investigation of reaction mechanism were rather scarce. This chapter presents the advances made by researchers in understanding, from a mechanistic point of view, the hydrodechlorination process, along with our own assumptions. In doing so, it would be easier to predict the behavior of such compounds in a specific environment, showing more clearly the scope and limitations of each process, depending on the reaction condi- tions and reagents. Keywords: hydrodechlorination, reaction mechanism, metal/hydrogen donor 1. Introduction Most chlorinated and especially polychlorinated arenes (such as polychloro-dibenzo-p-diox- ins 1, polychloro-dibenzofurans 2, or polychlorobiphenyls 3) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are harmful to both man and the environment [1–5]. © 2016 The Author(s).

  • The Thimerosal Controversy
    The Thimerosal Controversy Aimee Sutherland, VRG Research Assistant April 2013 Background In the early 1920s, a major public health concern was vaccine contamination with bacteria and other germs, which could result in the death of children receiving the vaccines from tainted vials. In the book “The Hazards of Immunization”, Sir Graham S. Wilson depicts an occurrence of contamination that happened in Australia in 1928 in which twelve out of twenty-one children died after receiving the vaccine for diphtheria due to multiple staphylococcal abscesses and toxemia (FDA). This incident spurred the development of preservatives for multi-dose vials of vaccine. In 1928, Eli Lilly was the first pharmaceutical company to introduce thimerosal, an organomercury compound that is approximately 50% mercury by weight, as a preservative that would thwart microbial growth (FDA). After its introduction as a germocide, thimerosal was often challenged for its efficacy rather than its safety. The American Medical Association (AMA) published an article that questioned the effectiveness of the organomercury compounds over the inorganic mercury ones (Baker, 245). In 1938 manufacturers were required to submit safety-testing information to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although preservatives had already been incorporated into many vaccines, it was not until 1968 that preservatives were required for multi-dose vials in the United States Code of Federal Regulations (FDA). In 1970s the American population, increasingly concerned about environmental contamination with heavy metals, began to have reservations about the safety of organomercury and the controversy regarding thimerosal ensued after. The Controversy In 1990s, the use of thimerosal as a preservative became controversial and was targeted as a possible cause of autism because of its mercury content.

  • Low Molecular Weight Fluorescent Probes (Lmfps) to Detect the Group 12 Metal Triad
    chemosensors Review Low Molecular Weight Fluorescent Probes (LMFPs) to Detect the Group 12 Metal Triad Ashley D. Johnson, Rose M. Curtis and Karl J. Wallace * The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS 39406, USA; [email protected] (A.D.J.); [email protected] (R.M.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-601-266-4715 Received: 2 March 2019; Accepted: 19 April 2019; Published: 28 April 2019 Abstract: Fluorescence sensing, of d-block elements such as Cu2+, Fe3+, Fe2+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Zn2+ has significantly increased since the beginning of the 21st century. These particular metal ions play essential roles in biological, industrial, and environmental applications, therefore, there has been a drive to measure, detect, and remediate these metal ions. We have chosen to highlight the low molecular weight fluorescent probes (LMFPs) that undergo an optical response upon coordination with the group 12 triad (Zn2+, Cd2+, and Hg2+), as these metals have similar chemical characteristics but behave differently in the environment. Keywords: chemosensors; fluorescence; recognition; sensing; group 12 metals (zinc; cadmium; and mercury) 1. Introduction Sensors are used in every aspect of modern life; for example, many modern households have a carbon monoxide sensor or a smoke detector installed. In industry, fiber-optic sensors are used for monitoring process variables, such as temperature, pressure flow, and the level of a liquid. The environment requires sensors to monitor toxic gases and air pollution, and in clinical applications for the detection of medical conditions, i.e., Type 1 diabetes. The field of sensor technology has rapidly been expanding over the last several decades, and the field can be categorized into two broad areas (1) chemical sensors and (2) biosensors.
