Hemingway At War
No full textExplores the impact of Hemingway’s war experiences on his journalism and fiction. Drawing on dispatches from By-Line, Banerjee shows how battle imbued Hemingway with a strong aversion to war but a great reverence for the “fighting soldier” whom he considered a tragic hero. Argues that the author’s career as a war correspondent developed his disciplined, unimpassioned writing style and his belief in the inevitability of war and human tragedy
Author Exchange
No full textAnthropologist Mukulika Banerjee and political scientist Sushmita Pati have a conversation about their recently published books set in rural Bengal and Delhi’s urban villages, respectively. They situate their analyses of the intersections between democracy, capitalism, urbanization, and globalization in events, relations, and cultures of the everyday. Their exchange offers important insights for how political subjectivities and social ties are differently constituted or, to use Banerjee’s term, “cultivated” in these two settings. The two books offer a fine-grained view of how active citizenship in rural and urban India is refracted through distinct social and institutional structures. India is home to some of the world’s largest cities while more than 900 million people continue to live in the countryside. Its democratic future is therefore inextricably tied to the evolution of political behavior and political economy in both contexts, and, as Banerjee and Pati’s joint response indicates, to how urban and rural dynamics shape each other through (but not only through) migrants and their networks.

Dinuclear cobalt(II) complexes of Schiff-base compartmental ligands: Syntheses, crystal structure and bio-relevant catalytic activities
No full textThree dicobalt(II) complexes, namely [Co2(L1H)(H2O)2(OAc)2](OAc)2 (1), [Co2(L2)(H2O)2(OAc)2](OAc) (2)
and [Co2(L3)(H2O)2(OAc)2](OAc) (3) of the p-cresol based ‘‘end-off’’ compartmental ligands 2,6-bis(R-iminomethyl)-
4-methyl-phenolato, where R = N-ethylpiperazine for L1, 2-ethylpyridine for L2 and N-ethylpiperidine
for L3, have been synthesized and characterized by common physicochemical techniques, and in
the case of complex 1 also by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the complexes show excellent
catecholase-like activity, monitored not only with 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol but also with tetrachlorocatechol,
a substrate reluctant to be oxidized. To the best of our knowledge, to date no cobalt complex has
been found in the literature to manifest such activity. The complexes are observed to interact efficiently
with CT-DNA and on incubation (employing plasmid pTZ57/R/T DNA) they exhibit concentration dependent
DNA cleavage activity. The mechanisms related to the DNA cleavage and catecholase-like activities
have been investigated. The cytotoxicity of the complexes has also been examined through an MTT assay
Redox-Responsive Nanocapsules for the Spatiotemporal Release of Miltefosine in Lysosome: Protection against Leishmania
No full textLeishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease, is caused by intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani. Unlike most intracellular pathogens, Leishmania donovani are lodged in parasitophorous vacuoles and replicate within the phagolysosomes in macrophages. Effective vaccines against this disease are still under development, while the efficacy of the available drugs is being questioned owing to the toxicity for nonspecific distribution in human physiology and the reported drug-resistance developed by Leishmania donovani. Thus, a stimuli-responsive nanocarrier that allows specific localization and release of the drug in the lysosome has been highly sought after for addressing two crucial issues, lower drug toxicity and a higher drug efficacy. We report here a unique lysosome targeting polymeric nanocapsules, formed via inverse mini-emulsion technique, for stimuli-responsive release of the drug miltefosine in the lysosome of macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line. A benign polymeric backbone, with a disulfide bonding susceptible to an oxidative cleavage, is utilized for the organelle-specific release of miltefosine. Oxidative rupture of the disulfide bond is induced by intracellular glutathione (GSH) as an endogenous stimulus. Such a stimuli-responsive release of the drug miltefosine in the lysosome of macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line over a few hours helped in achieving an improved drug efficacy by 200 times as compared to pure miltefosine. Such a drug formulation could contribute to a new line of treatment for leishmaniasis.A.
