Alpha-ketoglutarate protects Streptomyces coelicolor from visible light-induced phototoxicity
It has been known that some Streptomyces species, including the model strain Streptomyces coelicolor, are vulnerable to visible light. Much evidence demonstrated that the phototoxicity induced by visible light is a consequence of the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are potentially harmful to cells. In this study, we found that α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) has a protect...
متن کاملComparison of Skin Erythema and Melanin Level in Sulfur Mustard Induced Chronic Skin Lesions and Normal Skin
Background: Sulfur mustard gas is a chemical agent that has been used in many wars, especially in Iran-Iraq war. This chemical agent affects many organs including lungs, eyes and skin, causing numerous acute and chronic lesions including erythema and hyperpigmentation, respectively. This study was conducted to evaluate erythema and melanin in subjects with a history of exposure to sulfur ...
متن کاملVisible-Light-Induced Click Chemistry.
A rapid and catalyst-free cycloaddition system for visible-light-induced click chemistry is reported. A readily accessible photoreactive 2H-azirine moiety was designed to absorb light at wavelengths above 400 nm. Irradiation with low-energy light sources thus enables efficient small-molecule synthesis with a diverse range of multiple-bond-containing compounds. Moreover, in order to demonstrate ...
متن کاملComparative grepafloxacin phototoxicity in mouse skin.
This study was performed in order to compare the phototoxic potential of grepafloxacin (a new fluoroquinolone for the treatment of respiratory tract infections) with that of a number of marketed fluoroquinolones. Groups of Balb/c mice received either control material or grepafloxacin, lomefloxacin, sparfloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin or enoxacin at an oral dose of 200 mg/kg before being expo...
متن کاملAn ultrathin invisibility skin cloak for visible light.
Metamaterial-based optical cloaks have thus far used volumetric distribution of the material properties to gradually bend light and thereby obscure the cloaked region. Hence, they are bulky and hard to scale up and, more critically, typical carpet cloaks introduce unnecessary phase shifts in the reflected light, making the cloaks detectable. Here, we demonstrate experimentally an ultrathin invi...
