- <b><i>Background:</i></b> Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. <b><i>Patients and</i></b> <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥25 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 to ≤5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level α = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen. Trial Registration: EudraCT number: 2015-000950-39; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02545049.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Chemisorption synthesis on the basis of the binuclear compound [Bi2{S2CN(C3H7)2}6] (I) and preparative isolation of the ion-polymeric heteronuclear gold(III)-bismuth(III) complex ([Au{S2CN(C3H7)2}2]3[Bi2Cl9])n (II) are carried out. Compounds I and II are characterized in comparison by IR spectroscopy and 13C CP-MAS NMR. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis data (CIF file CCDC no. 1407705), the cationic moiety of compound II exhibits an unusually complicated supramolecular structure including six isomeric noncentrosymmetric complex cations [Au{S2CN(C3H7)2}2]+ (hereinafter A-F) and two binuclear anions [Bi2Cl9]3- as conformers. The isomeric gold(III) cations perform various structural functions. Owing to pair secondary interactions Au···S, cations B, C, E, and F form centrosymmetric ([E···E], [F···F]) and noncentrosymmetric ([B···C]) binuclear aggregates [Au2{S2CN(C3H7)2}4]2+, whereas cations A and D are not involved in dimerization. The strongest secondary Au···S bonds are formed between the binuclear and mononuclear cations, resulting in the formation of supramolecular cation-cationic polymer chains of two types: (⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅[B⋅⋅⋅C]⋅⋅⋅A⋅⋅⋅[B⋅⋅⋅C]⋅⋅⋅)n and (D⋅⋅⋅[E⋅⋅⋅E]⋅⋅⋅D⋅⋅⋅[F⋅⋅⋅F]⋅⋅⋅])n. In both chains, the gold atoms of the binuclear cations are characterized by a distorted octahedral coordination [S6], whereas in the mononuclear cations the gold atoms retain the square environment [S4]. The cation-anionic interactions are provided by secondary bonds Cl⋅⋅⋅S involving the terminal chlorine atoms of isomeric [Bi2Cl9]3- and the sulfur atoms of the binuclear cations [Au2{S2CN(C3H7)2}4]2+. The character of the thermal behavior of compounds I and II is studied by simultaneous thermal analysis with the identification of intermediate and final products of the thermal transformations. The thermolysis of compound I at 193-320°C is accompanied by the formation of Bi2S3 with an impurity of reduced metallic bismuth particles. The final products of the thermal transformations of compound II are reduced elemental gold and Bi2O3, and the thermal transformation intermediates are BiCl3 and Bi2S3.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The crystalline heteroleptic bismuth(III) complexes, [Bi{S2CN(iso-C4H9)2}2(NO3)] (I) and [Bi{S2CN(C3H7)2}2Cl] (II), are isolated in preparative yields. Both compounds form 1D polymer structures and are characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (CIF files CCDC nos. 1877115 (I) and 1876364 (II)) and (13C, 15N) CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. The coordination mode of each of the dialkyldithiocarbamate ligands is S,S′-anisobidentately terminal. The inorganic anions performing the μ2-bridging function participate in the binding of the adjacent metallic atoms to form zigzag polymer chains. A new mode of bismuth(III) binding involving all oxygen atoms (O,O'-anisobidentate coordination to each adjacent bismuth atom) is found for the bridging nitrate groups in compound I. The bismuth atoms in the studied compounds are characterized by the eightfold [BiS4O4] (I) or sixfold [BiS4Cl2] (II) environment. The thermal behavior of the synthesized complexes is characterized by the data of simultaneous thermal analysis, using parallel recording of thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry curves. In both cases, Bi2S3 is the only final product of the thermal transformations of compounds I and II.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes [M{S2P(OR)(2)}(2)] (M = Ni, Cu-63, Cu-65; R = C2H5, C3H7, i-C3H7, C4H9, i-C4H9, s-C4H9, i-C5H11, c-C6H11) with eight symmetric O,O'-dialkyl phosphorodithioates were synthesized, and their structures and spectral properties were studied by EPR and CP/MAS C-13 and P-31 NMR. As determined by EPR, the [CuS4] chromophores in the lattice of nickel(II) complexes have predominantly a square-planar structure. The chromophores in complexes with phosphorodithioate ligands incorporating bulky alkyl substituents have somewhat distorted geometries. NMR shows that the Dtph groups in most nickel(II) complexes are structurally equivalent. An exception is [Ni{S2P(OC3H7)(2)}(2)], which gives rise to two (1 : 1) P-31 NMR signals. For [Ni(S2P(O-i-C4H9)(2))(2)], the alpha and beta modifications were obtained. In the alpha modification, the phosphorodithioate groups are nonequivalent, whereas the P modification has structurally equivalent ligands. The broadening of the P-31 NMR signal of the [Ni{S2P(O-s-C4H9)(2)}(2)] complex is rationalized by the existence of six optical isomers (due to two chiral centers in each of the ligands). For the Dtph groups acting as bidentate terminal ligands in the nickel(II) complexes, the P-31 chemical shift anisotropy delta(aniso) and asymmetry parameter eta were calculated from experimental NMR spectra. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that bis(O,O'-dipropyl phosphorodithioato)nickel(II) exists in the form of two centrosymmetric molecules. In the structure of alpha-bis(O,O'-dipropyl phosphorodithioato)nickel(II), the Dtph ligands in the molecule are nonequivalent. The experimental P-31 NMR signals in the spectra of [Ni{S2P(OC3H7)(2)}(2)] and alpha-[Ni{S2P(O-i-C4H9)(2)}(2)] are assigned to the structural positions of phosphorus atoms in the corresponding molecular structures determined by X-ray diffraction.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The high-energy neutron field of the VESUVIO instrument at the ISIS facility has been characterized using the technique of thin-film breakdown counters (TFBC). The technique utilizes neutron-induced fission reactions of U-nat and Bi-209 with detection of fission fragments by TFBCs. Experimentally determined count rates of the fragments are approximate to 50% higher than those calculated using spectral neutron flux simulated with the MCNPX code. This work is a part of the project to develop Chiplr, a new dedicated facility for the accelerated testing of electronic components and systems for neutron-induced single event effects in the new Target Station 2 at ISIS. The TFBC technique has shown to be applicable for on-line monitoring of the neutron flux in the neutron energy range 1-800 MeV at the position of the device under test (DUT).

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 31P NMR signals for the terminal and bridging ligands of the complexes were differentiated. The experimental NMR spectra show 31P-111,113Cd and 113Cd-31 P spin-spin couplings only for the terminal ligands. The chemical shift anisotropy δ and the asymmetry parameter η were calculated for 31P and 113Cd NMR signals. It was found that the 31P chemical shifts for the terminal and bridging dithiophosphato groups differ in anisotropy character.
