6-Methoxy-1-methyl-2,3-diphenyl indol-5-carboxaldehyde (2) was demethylated to give the 6-hydroxy derivative (3) which was cyclized to the pyrano[3,2-f]indole derivatives (4a-d) by the action of ethyl acetoacetate, diethyl malonate, malononitrile, ethyl cyanoacetate. When 4c was boiled in acetic
Although aromatic amines are widely used as raw materials for dyes, some of them have been concerned about carcinogenicity in the urinary bladder. We examined early changes in histopathology and the formation of γ-H2AX, a biomarker of DNA damage, in the urinary bladder of rats to investigate the
The human breath contains a variety of endogenous volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The origin and pathophysiological importance of these VOCs is poorly investigated. Little is known about the interaction of VOCs from ambient air, such as those produced by plants and exhaust fumes, with the human
OBJECTIVE
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1) is the cell surface receptor for thrombin. It is unclear whether thrombin contributes to inflammation other than by effects on coagulation. We investigated the proinflammatory participation of PAR-1 in antigen-induced arthritis (AIA).
METHODS
Arthritis
We reviewed the mechanism of oxidative DNA damage with reference to metal carcinogenesis and metal-mediated chemical carcinogenesis. On the basis of the finding that chromium (VI) induced oxidative DNA damage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), we proposed the hypothesis that endogenous
OBJECTIVE
Dual-specificity phosphatase 5 (DUSP-5) is a phosphatase that specifically dephosphorylates both phosphoserine and phosphotyrosine residues of MAPK. The dysregulated activation of MAPK contributes to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. This study was undertaken to investigate the
