Multiple Modes of Action of Diphenyl Ethers
نویسنده
چکیده
Diphenyl ethers are the most versatile phytotoxic com pounds known so far with respect to their targets in the plant cell. According to their substituents, the following modes o f action can be found; (a) inhibition o f photosynthetic electron transport effective at two binding sites, (b) peroxidative activity (degradation o f cellular constituents), (c) inhibition o f carotenogenesis, (d) decrease o f ATP-synthase (CFj) activity, (e) inhibition o f respiratory electron transport, (f) stress response. This paper presents a condensed overview.

BDE-99 impairs differentiation of human and mouse NPCs into the oligodendroglial lineage by species-specific modes of action
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are bioaccumulating flame retardants causing developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) in humans and rodents. Their DNT effects are suspected to involve thyroid hormone (TH) signaling disruption. Here, we tested the hypothesis whether disturbance of neural progenitor cell (NPC) differentiation into the oligodendrocyte lineage (O4+ cells) by BDE-99 involves disrupt...

In this paper, the method of simultaneous determinations of methoxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in dairy products from China was investigated. PBDEs are widely used brominated flame retardant, which are increasingly reported in the environment. MeO-PBDEs are structural analogs to PBDEs, and reported as natural products and novel pollutants present in t...
