چکیده
3 ,4-B e nzpy ren e , 7,1 2-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene, and 1,2-benzpyrene were topically applied to mouse skin in order to study their effects upon RNA synthesis in the latter. Both of the known carcinogenic substances [3,4-benzpyrene and 7 , 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene] caused a preliminary decrease in the rate of RNA synthesis, followed by an abrupt increase well above the normal rate; however, the 2 curves differ in shape, the preliminary decrease occurring more rapidly in the case of the 3,4-benzpyrene. The early inhibitory effect was not observed for the noncarcinogenic 1,2-benzpyrene, the only occurrence being an increase in the rate of RNA synthesis. The electrophoretic study of skin RNA showed no differences between the RNA patterns for treated and for normal skin.

Gnidilatimonoein from Daphne mucronata inhibits DNA synthesis in human cancer cell lines
The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...

Considering the clinical significance of opioids, especially their application for the treatment of severe painful conditions including cancer pain and the requirement for the synthesis of more specific drugs with lower side effects, this study was conducted to perform a preliminary investigation on six newly developed opioid drugs. Our aim was to introduce drugs that act selectively on the opi...

To detect the effects of sympathomimetic drugs with selective action on β1 and β2 adrenoceptors, male albino mice were treated by intraperitoneal administration of dobutamine and terbutaline for 15 days. Three groups of mice were selected as dobutamine, terbutaline and control groups, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the animals were sacrificed and the parotid glands were removed a...
