Activity of megazol, a trypanocidal nitroimidazole, is associated with DNA damage.
DNA damage associated with the trypanocidal activity of megazol [2-amino-5-(1-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole] was shown in experiments in which DNA repair-deficient RAD51(-/-) Trypanosoma brucei mutants were found to be hypersensitive to the drug. Parasites resistant to megazol were selected and showed modest cross-resistance to other trypanocides, although neither drug efflux n...
متن کاملApoptotic activity of a new jasmonate analogue is associated with its induction of DNA damage.
The current study was undertaken to investigate the effects of methyl 5-chloro-4,5-didehydrojasmonate (J7), an analogue of methyl jasmonate, on the in vitro growth of human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells. Significantly decreased rates of viability (IC50 approximately 15 microM) as well as evidence of apoptosis were observed with J7. Cell morphological changes observed under light microscopy conf...
متن کاملPancreatic Cancer is Associated with Peripheral Leukocyte Oxidative DNA Damage
Background: DNA damage accumulation has been linked to the cancer phenotype. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of DNA base 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammatory markers in healthy controls and pancreatic cancer patients from a hospital-based case-control study. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five pancreatic cancer patients and 55 healthy ...
متن کاملOxidative DNA Damage Mediated by Intranuclear MMP Activity Is Associated with Neuronal Apoptosis in Ischemic Stroke
Evidence of the pathological roles of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in various neurological disorders has made them attractive therapeutic targets. MMPs disrupt the blood-brain barrier and cause neuronal death and neuroinflammation in acute cerebral ischemia and are critical for angiogenesis during recovery. However, some challenges have to be overcome before MMPs can be further validated as...
متن کاملA DNA polymerase activity is associated with Cauliflower Mosaic Virus.
A DNA polymerase activity is found within the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) particle. Analysis of the reaction product reveals that the linear form of the virion DNA is preferentially labelled. The molecular weight of the DNA polymerase as determined on an "activity gel" is 76 kDa.
