In the evolution of colon rectal cancer (CRC) the imbalance between cell proliferation and apoptosis is considered one of the prominent causes of tumor induction and/or progression. In order to establish the role of anti apoptotic proteins in colon cancer development, we studied with immunohistochemical techniques the expression of Survivin in a mouse model of colon carcinogenesis induced by 1,...

A facile and efficient one-pot three-step process for the synthesis of 5-acetyl-2-imino-4-methylthiazoles via the cyclocondensation of 3-thiocyanatoacetylacetone with various hydrazine or hydrazide derivatives in EtOH has been developed. 3-Thiocyanatoacetylacetone itself has been synthesized as the intermediate from substitution reaction of thiocyanate with 3-chloroacetylacetone. B...

Administration of hydrazine to fasted rats results in a state of hypoglycemia which slowly abates over a period of several hours. Hydrazine also abolishes the increase in blood glucose normally seen after administration of hydrocortisone to fasted rats. Comparison of the concentrations of hepatic metabolites of rats treated with hydrazine with those of control rats reveals that hydrazine causes...

A solid hydrazine was isolated as a crystalline powder by reacting aqueous hydrazine with supercritical CO(2). Its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction shows a zwitterionic form of NH(3)(+)NHCO(2)(-). The solid hydrazine is remarkably stable but is as reactive as liquid hydrazine even in the absence of solvents.

We here report the nucleotide sequence of the SV40 DNA fragment Hind C - Hap 2. The fragment was labeled at the 5'-ends by means of polynucleotide kinase and gamma-(32P) ATP and digested with a suitable restriction enzyme. The separated products were then partially degraded with the base-specific reagents dimethyl-sulphate or hydrazine followed by direct analysis on polyacrylamide gel. The Hind...

In the title compound, [Cu2(C11H13N3O3S)2(C2H6OS)2], the Cu(II) cation is N,N',O-chelated by a deprotonated hy-droxy-imino-tosyl-hydrazone ligand and coordinated by a dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecule. One O atom from the adjacent hy-droxy-imino-tosyl-hydrazone ligand bridges the Cu(II) cation, forming the centrosymmetric dimeric complex. The cation is in an overall distorted N2O3 square-pyramidal c...
