Structure-activity relationships in nitrosamine carcinogenesis

Structure-radical scavenging activity relationships of hydroxytoluene derivatives

Research works proposed that radical scavenging activity of flavonoids is due to ring B, andthe remaining part of the molecule can be disregarded. Thus the objective of this work is toobserve whether hydroxytoluenes account the radical scavenging activity of flavonoid and toestablish structural requirements for their activity (as they showed appreciable activity) andelucidate a comprehensive me...

Structure-activity relationships in cannabinoids.

QnrS1 structure-activity relationships.

OBJECTIVES Loop B is important for low-level quinolone resistance conferred by Qnr proteins. The role of individual amino acids within QnrS1 loop B in quinolone resistance and gyrase protection was assessed. METHODS qnrS1 and 11 qnrS1 alleles with site-directed Ala mutations in loop B were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and proteins were purified by affinity chromatography. Ciproflox...

Nitrosamine-induced lung carcinogenesis and Ca2+/calmodulin antagonists.

This review summarizes recent data which implicate cell membrane receptors and their associated signal transduction pathways as molecular targets of tobacco-related lung carcinogenesis as well as therapy of such cancers. It is shown that the two nitrosamines N-nitrosodiethylamine and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone bind to nicotinic cholinergic receptors in hamster lung. Binding ...

Structure-activity relationships of saframycins.

In vitro antitumor activities of 13 saframycins, including the potent antitumor component, saframycin A, were determined with the highly sensitive established cell line of L1210 mouse leukemia to investigate structure-activity relationships. Saframycins which lack the alpha-cyanoamine group or the alpha-carbinolamine group exhibited much lower cytotoxic activity than saframycin A. The modificat...
