چکیده
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE is a topic of great public interest. Much of the public debate among non-economists takes it for granted that, if the funds were made available, development would follow: Pogge (2005), Singer (2004), and at least some economists agree (Sachs 2005, 2008). Others, most notably Easterly (2006), are deeply sceptical, a position that has been forcefully argued at least since Bauer (1971, 1981). Few academic economists or political scientists agree with Sachs’ views, but there is a wide range of intermediate positions, recently well assembled by Easterly (2008). The debate runs the gamut from the macro—can foreign assistance raise growth rates and eliminate poverty?—to the micro—what sorts of projects are likely to be effective?; should aid focus on electricity and roads, or on the provision of schools and clinics or vaccination campaigns? In this lecture, I shall be concerned with both the macro and micro kinds of assistance. I shall have very little to say about what actually works and what does not; but it is clear from the literature that we do not know. Instead, my main concern is with how we should go

CFS-1686 Causes Cell Cycle Arrest at Intra-S Phase by Interference of Interaction of Topoisomerase 1 with DNA
CFS-1686 (chemical name (E)-N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)-4-(2-(2-(5-nitrofuran-2-yl)vinyl)quinolin-4-ylamino)benzamide) inhibits cell proliferation and triggers late apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines. Comparing the effect of CFS-1686 on cell cycle progression with the topoisomerase 1 inhibitor camptothecin revealed that CFS-1686 and camptothecin reduced DNA synthesis in S-phase, resulting in...

متن کاملStructural basis of mutant-selectivity and drug-resistance related to CO-1686
Non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) caused by activating mutations in the kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) initially respond to first-generation reversible drugs gefitinib and erlotinib. However, clinical efficacy is limited due to the development of drug-resistance that in more than half of the cases are driven by the secondary T790M mutation. CO-1686 is one of the thi...
