Identification of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) in epidemiologic mortality studies is complicated by nosologic coding rules that require that STSs arising in a visceral organ must be coded in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) category for that organ, rather than in the ICD category
The retroviral integrase protein (IN) is essential for virus replication and, therefore, an attractive target for the development of inhibitors to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Diverse classes of compounds that are active against this protein have been discovered using in vitro
A series of naphthalene derivatives with disubstituted triazole side-arms have been assembled by click chemistry. Lead compounds show a high level of selectivity for renal, osteo- and Ewing's sarcomas that express the HIF-1α transcription factor. They also interact selectively with the quadruplex
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) is expressed in vascular endothelium during tumor neovascularization and angioproliferative diseases, including vascular tumors and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). We have investigated the in vivo biological consequences of endothelial cell activation by endogenous
Decalin is used as an industrial solvent for naphthalene, fats, resins, oils, and waxes. It is also used as a substitute for turpentine in lacquers, paints, and varnishes; as a solvent and stabilizer for shoe polishes and floor waxes; and as a constituent of motor fuels and lubricants. Other
The effects of the calcium/calmodulin signaling system on expression of the rat PRL gene were studied in rat pituitary GH3 cells using two specific naphthalene sulfonamide calmodulin (CaM) antagonist drugs, W7 and a more potent and more highly specific iodo-derivative, 5-iodo-1-C8. PRL (but not GH)
Approximately 350 amino acid derivatives were synthesized and tested for antitumor activity in four tumor systems. The effect on life prolongation and tumor growth was examined using mouse leukemia SR-61, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, ascites sarcoma-180, and rat ascites hepatoma (AH-60C). Among these
We have previously reported that from 350 amino acid (A-A) derivatives five were selected after the primary in vivo and in vitro screening tests. The five compounds which were found to possess potential antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma are as follows:
Cichorium intybus L., (chicory) is employed in various traditional medicines to treat a wide range of diseases and disorders. In the current investigation, two new naphthalane derivatives viz., cichorins D (1) and E (2), along with one new anthraquinone cichorin F (3),
