New pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were prepared from D-(-)- and L(+)-phenylglycinol and tested for their ability to inhibit 25 commercial glycosidases. The influence of the substitution of the lateral side chain and of the pyrrolidine ring on the enzyme ...
The structure and absolute configuration of natural lentiginosine isolated from plant sources was determined to be (1S,2S,8aS)-1,2-dihydroxyindolizidine ((+)-4) on the basis of the synthesis of both enantiomers (+)-4 and (-)-4 and their inhibition of amylo ...
Electrolytic respirometry was used to determine the biodegradation kinetic parameters of five volatile aromatic organic compounds: benzene, 1,2‐dichlorobenzene, 1,3‐dichlorobenzene, 1,4‐dichlorobenzene, and 1,2,3‐trichlorobenzene. A protocol developed earl ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Foscan (mTHPC) is used to cure early cancers of the esophagus or the tracheobronchial tree. However, fixed PDT parameters (drug dose, light dose, etc.) do not permit an accurate prediction of the tissue damage. Large interpa ...
The discovery of the anticancer properties of cisplatin in 1965 heralded the development of metallopharmaceuticals and founded a revolution in cancer therapy. Platinum drugs are believed to induce cytotoxicity by cross-linking DNA, causing changes to the D ...
Enzymes that are involved in the synthesis and processing of oligosaccharides, such as glycosidases, are important catalysts for the specific assembly of oligosaccharide structures on proteins. Design and preparation of selective inhibitors of these enzyme ...
The discovery of new metal-based antitumor drugs, whether cisplatin derivs. or those based on other metals, has been largely based on cell viability assays (IC50 values) and compds. that bind to DNA. This approach has been applied for more than 30 years du ...
Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein acting as a reverse transcriptase, has been identified as a target for cancer drug discovery. The synthetic, non-nucleosidic compound, BIBR1532, is a potent and selective telomerase inhibitor capable of inducing senescence i ...
