In this research, CaO (calcium oxide) nanoparticles were synthesized by Co-Precipitation method in the absence and presence of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) via using calcium (II) nitrate. The Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The synthesized samples were characterized via SEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. The average sizes of nan...

Reaction with thiol converts the antitumor natural product leinamycin to an episulfonium ion that alkylates the N(7)-position of guanine residues in double-stranded DNA. The sequence specificity for DNA alkylation by this structurally novel compound has not previously been examined. It is reported here that leinamycin shows significant (>10-fold) preferences for alkylation at the 5'-G in 5'-GG ...

Although the antitumor effects of chloroethylnitrosoureas have been shown to be due primarily to DNA-DNA cross-linking by the alkylating moieties of these agents, the basis of the often accompanying bone marrow toxicity has been more controversial. We report on the relative bone marrow toxicity of four model nitrosoureas with different alkylating and carbamoylating activities: 1,3-bis(2-chloroe...

The bifunctional sulphur mustard (bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulphide, HD) and its monofunctional analogue (2-chloroethyl ethyl sulphide, CEES) are both vesicants. In this study, both mustards were shown to rapidly alkylate the AP2 consensus binding sequence incorporated in a 26mer oligonucleotide. The reaction was essentially complete within 10 min under the conditions employed in this study and -95% ...

Background: Numerous studies have been conducted on humans, animals, and cell cultures exposed to Sulfur Mustard (SM). However, the precise mechanism and cause or long-term pattern of SM injuries are not well defined. There is no protocol available for treating people with severe eye, lung, and skin ailments. The current study aimed to develop an animal model of the acute and delayed complicati...

This paper analyses the stock market linkages of the selected Central and Eastern European (CEE) markets (Czech Republic – PX, Hungary – BUX and Poland – WIG20) with the Western European stock market represented by the German DAX and studies also the comovement between the individual CEE countries’ stock markets. The dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) models were used to model the co-movemen...
