TL;DR: A series of three complexes with diethyldithiocarbamate ligand and three different metals was prepared, confirmed by X-ray crystallography, and tested in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, where zinc and copper complexes were found to be more active against cellular 26S proteasome than against purified 20S proteAsome core particle.
Abstract: A series of three complexes with diethyldithiocarbamate ligand and three different metals (Ni, Cu, Zn) was prepared, confirmed by X-ray crystallography, and tested in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Zinc and copper complexes, but not nickel complex, were found to be more active against cellular 26S proteasome than against purified 20S proteasome core particle. One of the possible explanations is inhibition of JAMM domain in the 19S proteasome lid.

TL;DR: The synergistic combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is likely to become the next generation of dual-modality scanners in medical imaging, providing accurate diagnoses thanks to the sensitive and quantifiable signal of PET and the high soft-tissue resolution of MRI.
Abstract: The synergistic combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is likely to become the next generation of dual-modality scanners in medical imaging. These instruments will provide us with accurate diagnoses thanks to the sensitive and quantifiable signal of PET and the high soft-tissue resolution of MRI. Furthermore, patients will receive less radiation dose and spend less time in the procedure relative to current dual-modality scanners (e.g. PET–computed tomography (CT)). As a consequence, there has been increasing interest recently in the development of dual-modality PET–MRI agents.[1]

TL;DR: The uses and potential utility of tin/organotin dithiocarbamate, −S2CNR′2, compounds are reviewed in this paper, where various derivatives exhibit exciting potential as anti-cancer agents, anti-microbial agents and insecticides, e.g. against mosquito larvae.
Abstract: The uses and potential utility of tin/organotin dithiocarbamate, −S2CNR′2, compounds are reviewed. Various derivatives exhibit exciting potential as anti-cancer agents, anti-microbial agents and insecticides, e.g. against mosquito larvae. Tin dithiocarbamates have also proven useful as precursors for tin sulfide nanoparticles. There is a wealth of structural data available for such compounds and with the exception of the diorganotin bis(dithiocarbamate) compounds, R2Sn(S2CNR′2)2, compounds for which different structural motifs are evident, there is a certain degree of homogeneity in the molecular structures for each class of compound unless there are additional coordination sites on the R and/or R′ groups. Owing to the strong coordination potential of the dithiocarbamate ligand for tin, supramolecular aggregates involving secondary Sn…S interactions are the exception rather than the norm.

TL;DR: The use of the dithiocarbamate ligand has recently expanded to stabilising gold nanoparticles and preparing multimetallic wires and arrays, highlighting the considerable potential of this simple and versatile ligand.
Abstract: The dithiocarbamate (dtc) ligand has proved to be an extremely versatile and robust motif for metal-directed self-assembly. Its ease of formation and wide ranging coordination chemistry has led to the formation of an array of novel and complex supramolecular architectures. Well-defined structures such as macrocycles, cages, catenanes and nanodimensional assemblies can be generated using a variety of oligomeric dithiocarbamate constructs in combination with transition metals. Polymetallic assemblies containing appropriately designed host cavities have allowed the binding of cationic, anionic and neutral guest species to be investigated. The use of the dithiocarbamate ligand has recently expanded to stabilising gold nanoparticles and preparing multimetallic wires and arrays. This perspective highlights the considerable potential that this simple and versatile ligand has to offer.
