The phase behavior of binary mixtures of triglyme (G3) and Mg[TFSA]2 (TFSA: bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide) was investigated, towards the development of a Mg2+-based room-temperature solvate ionic liquid (SIL) electrolyte. In a 1 : 1 molar ratio, G3 and Mg[TFSA]2 form a thermally stable complex (decomposition temperature, Td: 240 °C) with a melting point (Tm) of 70 °C, which is considerably...

In this study, the specific contribution of polyamine oxidase (PAO), a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-producing enzyme, to the oxidative burst induced in maize mesocotyl by the phosphatase inhibitor cantharidin was examined. For this purpose, a pharmacological approach was applied using, either in vitro or in vivo, two strong inhibitors of maize PAO (MPAO), N-prenylagmatine (G3) and its structural an...

We tested the hypothesis that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis provides a better quantitative readout of the therapeutic potential of methotrexate (MTX) for treating collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in rats and compared to conventional histopathological examination. Rats were divided into three groups: Group 1 (G1) was treated with 0.9% saline, whereas groups 2 (G2) and 3 (G3) were...

The villin/gelsolin/fragmin superfamily is a major group of Ca2+-dependent actin-binding proteins (ABPs) involved in various cellular processes. Members of this superfamily typically possess three or six tandem gelsolin-like (G) domains, and each domain plays a distinct role in actin filament dynamics. Although the activities of most G domains have been characterized, the biochemical function o...

Despite the existence of highly sensitive tests, inconclusive serological results are frequent in chronic chagasic infection. This study aimed to define a diagnostic conduct for 30 individuals with inconclusive serology (G3) for chagasic infection assisted at the Outpatient Unit for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of the Botucatu School of Medicine. Twenty-one individuals with negative serolo...

OBJECTIVE The treatment for superficial G3 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder remains controversial. It is important to reveal the clinical features of superficial G3 bladder cancer that can be treated conservatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 39 patients with primary superficial bladder cancer (Ta, T1) with G3 components but without concomitant carcinoma in situ (...

NF-κB and its associated pathways are complicatedly concerned about hepatic homeostasis. Discriminating inhibition of NF-κB signaling has been expected to treat various liver diseases including fulminant hepatitis. To clarify the potential use of thioalkylated mannose-appended dendrimer (generation 3; G3) conjugates with α-cyclodextrin with average degree of substitution of mannose (DSM4) (Man-...

Measles virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus in the family PARAMYXOVIRIDAE is an enveloped virus with a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA genome (Griffin, 2001). It is 100 – 200 nm in diameter and two membrane envelope proteins are important in pathogenesis which are the F (fusion) protein, which is responsible for fusion of virus and host cell membranes, viral penetration, and hemolysis...

The effect of DPP grains, isolated flavonoids were carried out on the levels steroid hormone and Lipid profile in sera adult female rabbits.

Overexpression of EGFR and versican has been reported in association with breast cancers. Considered oncogenic, these molecules may be attractive therapeutic targets. Possessing anti-apoptotic and drug resistant properties, overexpression of these molecules is accompanied by selective sensitization to the process of apoptosis. In this study, we exogenously expressed a versican G3 construct in b...
