The 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE), which is a potent chemoattractant for myeloid cells, is known to promote the survival of prostate cancer cells. In the present study, we found that PC3 prostate cancer cells and cell lines derived from breast (MCF7) and lung (A-427) cancers contain 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH) activity and have th...

The reaction of 3-cyclohexyl-2-(cyclohexylimino)-6-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-(4-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazin-4-one with ammonium acetate afforded 3-(1-cyclohexyl-2-(cyclohexylamino)-4-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)-1-methylquinoxalin-2(1H)-one in a good yield. compound was fully characterized.

A newsynthetic route has been developed for the total synthesis of ozenoxacin. In this avoided toxic heavy metals and synthesised key intermediate_7-bromo-1-cyclopropyl-8-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid by simply insertion Cyclopropyl amine into 4-oxo-4H-chromene-3-carboxylic intermediate, Then intermediate carboxylic acidundergoesSuzuki coupling with boronated ester deacety...

The metabolism of the mutagen and carcinogen, 5-nitroacenaphthene, by the 9000 x g supernatant from the livers of Aroclor-pretreated rats was studied. The major primary metabolites were 1-hydroxy-5-nitroacenaphthene and 2-hydroxy-5-nitroacenaphthene. These metabolites were oxidized to 1-oxo-5-nitroacenaphthene and 2-oxo-5-nitroacenaphthene, hydroxylated to cis-1,2-dihydroxy-5-nitroacenaphthene ...

BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause an oxidative modification of nucleotides, such as 8-oxo-7,8-dihydrodeoxyguanosine triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP), which can lead to defects in DNA replication. The misincorporation of 8-oxo-dGTP into DNA is prevented by 8-oxo-dGTPase, which hydrolyzes 8-oxo-dGTP into 8-oxo-dGMP. The changes in this defensive system have not yet been examined in fail...

The formation of 15-oxo-5,8,11,13-(Z,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE) as a product from rabbit lung 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH)-mediated oxidation of 15(S)-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-(Z,Z,Z,E)-eicosatetraenoic acid was first reported more than 30 years ago. However, the pharmacological significance of 15-oxo-ETE formation has never been established. We have now evaluated 15...

Natural nucleic acid bases can formWatson–Crick (WC) or Hoogsteen (HG) base pairs. Importantly, 8-oxo20-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in DNA or 8-oxo-dG 50-triphosphate (8-oxo-dGTP) favors a syn conformation because of the steric repulsion between O8 and O40 of the deoxyribose ring. 8-oxo-dGTP can be incorporated into DNA opposite the templating adenine (A) using HG pairing as the dominant mechanis...

Abstract Photocatalytic water splitting and carbon dioxide photoreduction are considered effective strategies for alleviating the energy crisis environmental pollution. Polynuclear metal-oxo clusters possess excellent electron storage/release ability unique catalytic properties via intermetallic synergy, which enables them with great potential in environmentally friendly photosynthesis. Importa...

Ionic liquids such as 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts make excellent catalysts and solvents for synthesis of dialkyl 2-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-3-(1-oxo-1-H-phthalazin-2-yl)succinates from 2H-phthalazin-1-one, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and trialkyl phosphites. Under similar conditions, triphenyl phosphite led to dialkyl 2-(diphenoxyphosphoryl)-3-(1-oxo-1-H-phthalazin-2-yl)succinates. The ionic ...

N-acyl-homoserines quenching, enzymatic quenching of bacterial quorum sensing, has recently applied to mitigate biofilm in membrane bioreactor. However, the effect of AHLs on the behavior of biofilm formation is still sparse. In this study, Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm was formed on ultra-filtration membrane under a series of N-(3-oxooxtanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (Cs-oxo-HSL) concentrations....
