The anti-drug resistance effect of three derivatives (AR-1, AR-2 and AR-3) of [1,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-4-beta-(N,N-disubstituted-ethylamino)] piperidines, that were evaluated as calcium and calmodulin antagonists, was studied on doxorubicin (ADM) and vincristine (VCR) resistant Sarcoma-45
The novel nitroxyl, Tempicol-3 (nitroxide-N-oxide) was synthesized and its capacity to act as a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals was tested. The concentration-dependent reducibility of this novel compound was also examined and compared with those of previously characterized nitroxides, Tempo and
The results presented herein clearly indicate that nitroxide derivatives--free radicals are effective as substrates for one-electron oxidation in the peroxidase cycle involving hydrogen peroxide, which have been the subject of considerable controversy. This oxidation is catalyzed enzymatically and
N-Nitroso-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (N-nitroso-delta3-piperidine), N-nitroso-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine (N-nitroso-delta2-piperidine) and N-nitroso-3,4-epoxypiperidine were tested for carcinogenicity in Fischer 344 rats. The unsaturated nitrosamines were administered in drinking water (100 mg/l).
In light of our previous SAR studies on nitroxides acting as less toxic anticancer agents, antioxidants and radioprotectors, we designed and tested, in vivo an in vitro, a new triradical spin trap -N,N',N"-tris-(l-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-4-yl)-1,3, 5-tnazine-2,4,6-triamine (TTT). The
Piplartine {5,6-dihydro-1-[1-oxo-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-propenyl]-2(1H)pyridinone} and piperine {1-5-(1,3)-benzodioxol-5-yl)-1-oxo-2,4-pentadienyl]piperidine} are alkaloid amides isolated from Piper. Both have been reported to show cytotoxic activity towards several tumor cell lines. In the
A series of 32 cationic platinum(II) complexes of the form cis-[PtA2(Am)Cl]+, where A is a monodentate (NH3 or i-PrNH2) or A2 is a bidentate (ethylenediamine or 1,2-diaminocyclohexane) amine and Am is either a heterocyclic amine based on a pyridine, pyrimidine, purine, piperidine, or a saturated
The anticancer activity of 8-hydroxyquinolines relies on complex formation with redox active copper and iron ions. Here we employ UV-visible spectrophotometry and EPR spectroscopy to compare proton dissociation and complex formation processes of the reference compound 8-hydroxyquinoline (Q-1) and
