Herein, we report the characterization and antimicrobial activity of a previously unreported jadomycin (1) obtained from a culture of S. venezuelae ISP5230 with L-ornithine (Orn). 1 arises from the rearrangement of a putative five-membered ring containing jadomycin incorporating Orn, whereby

Estrogen-negative (ER^-) breast cancer, is recognized as an aggressive subtype, more difficult to treat, with poor survival and prognosis. They are hormonally unresponsive, with no readily effective and specific target therapy. We have previously identified N^w-hydroxy L-Arginine

BOT-2 cells (human breast tumor origin) have an impaired ability to utilize exogenous thymidine. Previous studies revealed this deficiency to be the permeation event rather than phosphorylation, since the cells have active thymidine kinase. Chromosome-mediated gene transfer was used to transfer

Recently, the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technology has attracted the enormous interest of researchers in synthesizing various pharmaceutical dosage forms. Herewith, we designed a biocompatible drug delivery system containing the calcium carbonate microparticles (CaCO3 MPs) that coated with

L-Arginine is the common substrate for two enzymes, arginase and nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Arginase converts L-arginine to L-ornithine, which is the precursor of polyamines, which are essential components of cell proliferation. NOS converts L-arginine to produce NO, which inhibits proliferation

Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a crucial role in many cellular processes such as cell cycle, proliferation and apoptosis. Aberrant activation of UPS may result in cellular transformation or other altered pathological conditions. Previous studies have shown that metal-based complexes could

We have shown previously that (NOHA) an intermediate in the nitric oxide (NO) synthetic pathway and an inhibitor of arginase significantly reduced intracellular polyamines, activated caspase-3 and induced apoptosis in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468. These actions of NOHA were abolished

Macrophages use L-arginine to synthesize nitric oxide (NO) and polyamines through the inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and arginase, respectively. The released NO contributes to the tumoricidal activity of macrophages, whereas polyamines may promote the growth of tumor cells. Both the tumoricidal and
