Sprague-Dawley rats bearing 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary tumors were treated with either of two aromatic alkylating agents, aniline mustard or melphalan, alone or combined with ovariectomy. Both drugs were applied once a week for 8 weeks. Eight-four percent of the tumors
We describe a novel strategy to increase the selective toxicity of genotoxic compounds. The strategy involves the synthesis of bifunctional molecules capable of forming DNA adducts that have high affinity for specific proteins in target cells. It is proposed that the association of such proteins
Compounds 2a- h and 6 displayed significant GI 50 values of 10(-7)-10(-6) M against various cancer cell lines. Of these compounds, 2-(6-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl))-3(Z)-hexen-1,5-diynyl)aniline (2c) showed the most potent growth inhibition activity. Compound 2c also arrested cancer cells in the G2/M
Chemotherapy is one of the major forms of cancer treatment. Unfortunately, tumors are prone to multidrug resistance leading to failure of treatment. Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), the second member of ABC transporter subfamily G, has been found to play a major role in drug efflux and hence
Aminoglutethimide (AG) is a first-generation aromatase inhibitor used for estrogen-dependent breast cancer. Unfortunately, its use has also been associated with agranulocytosis. We have investigated the metabolism of AG by myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the formation of an MPO protein free radical. We
A new series of 9(10H)-acridinone-1,2,3-triazole derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against human breast cancer cell lines. The acridone skeleton was prepared through the Ullman condensation of 2-bromobenzoic acid and anilines. Subsequently, it was
We have designed cancer antiproliferative compounds, starting from aniline or phenol derivative, which comprise one or two nitrooxymethylphenyl groups as do the hybrid drugs NCX4040 and NCX530. Compound 2a with p-nitrooxymethylbenzoyl-oxy and -amino groups as well as 8a with a
We introduce a label-free biosensing cellulose strip sensor with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-encoded bimetallic core@shell nanoparticles. Bimetallic nanoparticles consisting of a synthesis of core Ag nanoparticles (AgNP) and a synthesis of shell gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were
Several bifunctional chelates (BFCs) were investigated as carriers of (64)Cu for PET imaging. The most widely used chelator for (64)Cu labeling of BFCs is DOTA (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N″,N'''-tretraacetic acid), even though this complex exhibits only moderate in vivo stability. In this
Mammalian cells can use exogenous isoprenols to generate isoprenoid diphosphate substrates for protein isoprenylation, but the mechanism, efficiency, and biological importance of this process are not known. We developed mass spectrometry-based methods using chemical probes and newly synthesized
A mild and rapid method for the iodination of arenes that utilizes silver(I) triflimide as a catalyst for activation of N-iodosuccinimide has been developed. The transformation was found to be general for a wide range of anisole, aniline, acetanilide, and phenol derivatives and allowed the
Environmental chemicals may play a role in the etiology of human breast cancer. Aromatic amines, industrial chemicals found as environmental pollutants, have been identified as rat mammary carcinogens. We have detected the monocyclic aromatic amines, aniline, o-toluidine, and N-methylaniline at
A new method for the synthesis of 4H-3,1-benzothiazine skeleton is described. The compounds were obtained by the reaction of sulfinylbis(2,4-dihydroxythiobenzoyl) with o-substituted anilines bearing an activated methylene group (-CH2OH, -CH2NR1R2), o-aminobenzanilides or 2-aminobenzophenones. The
Macrophage inflammatory peptide-1 (MIC-1)/growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a divergent member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily cloned by others and us. MIC-1/GDF-15 is expressed in the liver, breast, and colon. Studies have demonstrated a growth-inhibiting effect of
BACKGROUND
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been implicated in a wide variety of physiological processes, including feeding, learning, memory, emotion, cardiovascular homeostasis, hormone secretion, and circadian rhythms. NPY Yl receptor (NPY Y1-R) is the most widely studied NPY
