Ruthenium complexes are promising candidates for anticancer agents, especially NKP-1339 (sodium trans-[tetrachloridobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)]), which is on the edge to clinical applications. The anticancer mechanism seems to be tightly linked to the redox chemistry but despite progress in human clinical trials the in vivo Ru oxidation state and the coordination of Ru remains unclear. The ...

IN THEIR REPORT ON THE SEXUALLY SELECTED function of the lion’s mane (Panthera leo), P. M. West and C. Packer (“Sexual selection, temperature, and the lion’s mane,” 23 Aug., p. 1339) assert that “[m]ane darkness indicates nutrition and testosterone and influences both female choice and male-male competition” (p. 1339). We contend that there is no evidence in this article or others supporting th...

The effects of Triton WR-1339 and phenobarbital on ethinyl estradiol bile secretory failure were examined to determine the mechanism responsible for decreased bile salt excretion. When administered to ethinyl estradiol-treated rats, Triton WR-1339 restored bile salt independent bile flow and maximum taurocholate transport, whereas phenobarbital corrected bile flow only. Ethinyl estradiol decrea...

Although Triton WR 1339 has been used to block triglyceride or cholesterol removal from plasma, no data are available on the extent to which Triton WR 1339 administered to rabbits blocks clearance of newly absorbed dietary lipids. In the present study, we have measured the efficiency of this blockade during a 24-hr interval. After the Triton WR 1339 administration, plasma Sf greater than 400 an...

In the U.S., DRC-1339 baitings for blackbirds (Icteridae) are generally done under the pesticide label, Compound DRC-1339 Concentrate e Staging Areas. DRC-1339 is a slow-acting avicide and gives the birds enough time to leave the baiting sites. Carcass searches and other forms of onsite counts are ineffective. Instead, linear models (LM) are used. The LM are based on esophageal analyses of seve...

In a comparison of Lowenstein's medium with two agar media, 7H10 without and with the addition of Triton WR 1339, 4,100 sputa were planted on all three, yielding 803 (19.6%) positive cultures. The addition of Triton WR 1339 to the 7H10 medium made it possible to observe the cord formation directly on the isolation plates and did not alter, in any respect, the results obtained with the basic 7H1...

OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of newly synthesized tricyclic benzothieno 1, 2, 3-triazine derivatives namely CP-1 (3-(methyl)- 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro,3H-benzo[4,5] thieno [2,3-d][1,2,3] triazin-4-one), CP-2 (3-(ethyl)- 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro,3H-benzo[4,5] thieno [2,3-d][1,2,3] triazin-4-one) and CP-6 (3-(2-chloro phenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro,3H-benzo[...

The aim of this study was to investigate the hypolipidemic effect of the total flavonoids from mulberry leaves (MTF) in hyperlipidemic mice. The total flavonoids have been isolated from mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves and purified by macroporous resins. After that, the content of MTF is 581.7 mg g-1 in dried product. The hypolipidemic effect of MTF has been evaluated in triton WR-1339 (400 mg k...
