Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of diacetatobis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine]cadmium tetrahydrate

The title coordination compound, [Cd(C2H3O2)2(C6H14N2O)2]·4H2O, was synthesized by mixing 2 moles of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and 1 mole of cadmium acetate in double-distilled water. The Cd atom is octahedrally coordinated by two N,N′-bidentate ligands [4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine] and two trans-located acetate molecules. The Cd atom is located on a center of inversion, whereas the 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and four water molecules are adjacent to the acetate molecules. The chair conformation of the morpholine molecules is confirmed. In the crystal, adjacent metal complexes and uncoordinated water molecules are linked via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, generating R22(6), R66(16), R66(20) and S11(6) motifs and forming a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated the contributions of various contacts: H...H (71.8%), O...H/H...O (27.1%), and C...H/H...C (1.0%)

The multifaceted oncogene SND1 in cancer: focus on hepatocellular carcinoma

Staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain containing 1 (SND1) is a protein that regulates a complex array of functions. It controls gene expression through transcriptional activation, mRNA degradation, mRNA stabilization, ubiquitination and alternative splicing. More than two decades of research has accumulated evidence of the role of SND1 as an oncogene in various cancers. It is a promoter of cancer hallmarks like proliferation, invasion, migration, angiogenesis and metastasis. In addition to these functions, it has a role in lipid metabolism, inflammation and stress response. The participation of SND1 in such varied functions makes it distinct from most oncogenes that are relatively more focused in their role. This becomes important in the case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) since in addition to typical cancer drivers, factors like lipid metabolism deregulation and chronic inflammation can predispose hepatocytes to HCC. The objective of this review is to provide a summary of the current knowledge available on SND1, specifically in relation to HCC and to shed light on its prospect as a therapeutic target
