Caspase-independent pathways of programmed cell death: The unraveling of new targets of cancer therapy?
(2009)In the past few years, accumulating evidence in the literature supports the existence of pathways of caspase-independent programmed cell death (CI-PCD). These pathways are likely to be acting as 'death backup systems' that ...

Evidence that a metabolilte of equine estrogens, 4-hydroxyequilenin, induces cellular transformation in vitro
(2001)Estrogen replacement therapy has been correlated with an increased risk of developing hormone-dependent cancers. 4-Hydroxyequilenin (4-OHEN) is a catechol metabolite of equilenin and equilin which are components of the ...

Hydrophilic cationic star homopolymers based on a novel diethanol-n-methylamine dimethacrylate cross-linker for sirna transfection: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation
(2011)Four cationic hydrophilic star homopolymers based on the novel hydrophilic, positively ionizable cross-linker bis(methacryloyloxyethyl)methylamine (BMEMA) were synthesized using sequential group transfer polymerization ...

Identification of a potent activator of Akt phosphorylation from a novel series of phenolic, picolinic, pyridino, and hydroxamic zinc(II) complexes
(2011)The discovery of small-molecule modulators of signaling pathways is currently a particularly active area of research. We aimed at developing unprecedented metal-based activators of Akt signaling which can potentially find ...

A metabolite of equine estrogens, 4-hydroxyequilenin, induces DNA damage and apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines
(2000)Estrogen replacement therapy has been correlated with an increased risk of developing breast or endometrial cancer. 4-Hydroxyequilenin (4-OHEN) is a catechol metabolite of equilenin which is a minor component of the estrogen ...

Phenoxodiol (2H-1-benzopyran-7-0,1,3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)), a novel isoflavone derivative, inhibits DNA topoisomerase II by stabilizing the cleavable complex
(2002)Cancer therapeutic drugs that inhibit DNA topoisomerase (topo) II by stabilizing the cleavable complex are collectively known as topo II poisons. Phenoxodiol is a synthetic derivative of the plant isoflavone daidzein and ...

Solubilization and stabilization of carotenoids using micelles: Delivery of lycopene to cells in culture
(1999)The use of the organic cosolvents tetrahydrofuran and dimethylsulfoxide was found to be unsuitable for prostate tumor cell cultures because of solvent cytotoxicity and the poor solubility and instability of lycopene. For ...

Study on single crystal structure of the antimony(III) bromide complex with 3-methyl-2-mercaptobenzothiazole and biological activity of some antimony(III) bromide complexes with thioamides
(2012)Crystals of the [SbBr3(MMBZT)2] (1) complex (MMBZT = N-methyl-2- mercaptobenzothiazole) were grown from acetonitrile/methanol of the filtrate derived from the reaction between 3-methyl-2-mercaptobenzo thiazole (MMBZT) in ...
