The effects of 2-hydroxyethyl retinamide, N-(4-hydroxy-phenyl) all-trans-retinamide, and 13-cis-retinoic acid on the growth and metastasis of a malignant hamster melanoma cell line HM1-F5 was determined in a double blind study using 4- to 5-week-old male NIH Swiss and BALB/c derived athymic nu/nu mice. Mice were fed retinoids (0.75 and 1.0 or 1.5 mmol/kg diet) or a placebo diet ad libitum begin...

Methods for the preparation of 4-bromo-5-[2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)benzyl]-2methoxyphenol and 4-bromo-5-[4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)butyl]-2-methoxyphenol are described.

Objective : to assess the subchronic toxicity of bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)dimethyltin (Me-3) and (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)triphenyltin (Me-5) with identification external signs changes in indicators functional state liver kidneys Wistar rats (females) 14-fold daily intragastric injection simulate a metronomic chemotherapy regimen. Materials method study was conducted on 2...

The properties of the haem environment of an extracellular peroxidase from Pleurotus ostreatus were studied by electronic absorption spectroscopy. A high-spin ferric form was predominant in the native enzyme and a high-spin ferrous form in the reduced enzyme. Cyanide was readily bound to the haem iron in the native form, thereby changing the enzyme to a low-spin cyano adduct. The electronic abs...

A SERIES OF PT(LL) COMPLEXES WITH ANTITUMOR PROPERTIES: [1,2-bis(2,6-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine]PtL(2) (meso-1-PtL(2)) and [erythro-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(2-halo-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine]PtL(2), [2L=2Cl-,2I-,SO(4) (2)-; halo = F (erythro-8-PtL(2)),halo = Cl (erythro-9-PtL(2))] has been modelled by molecular mechanics (MM). The MM calculations were carried out f...

Eleven sesquiterpenoids have been isolated from the whole plants of Youngia japonica (Asteraceae). Among these sesquiterpenoids, five were identified as new compounds on the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical analysis. Their structures were 3-oxo-8alpha-(4-hydoxyphenyl)acetoxy-10(14),11(13)-guaiadien-12,6-olide ( 1), 3beta-[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetyl-beta- D-glucopyranosyloxy]-8alpha-hy...

western regions of the People’s Republic of China. As a Chinese folk medicine, this species has usually been used for treatment of rheumatic diseases and snake-bite. In previous investigations, we have reported the isolation and structural elucidation of several steroidal sapogenins, flavans, and a pregnane genin from this species. Our current phytochemical study for new efficient agents has le...

The present work aimed to synthesize new phenol resins via incorporation of structural modification through introducing phenolic compounds containing cyclic imide moiety in reaction with formaldehyde. synthesis these involved three steps. First, one the N-(hydroxyphenyl)tetrabromophtalamic acids 1-3 were processed a between tetrabromophthalic anhydride and aminophenols. Amic dehydrated second s...
