Fluorescence of chromatin DNA induced by antitumoral naphthalimides.

چکیده
Treatment of chicken blood smears and semithin sections from Epon-embedded mouse tissues with aqueous solutions of the 3-aminonaphthalimides FA-142, FA-2043, and FA-2143 induced a strong green-yellow fluorescence of chromatin under violet or violet-blue excitation. Chromatin emission was abolished by previous DNase or hot TCA treatment. The use of 3-methoxy (FA-655) and 3-nitro derivatives (M-4212 and M-12210) resulted in very weak fluorescence of chromatin. Absorption maxima at 346 and 408 nm and an emission peak at 570 nm were observed for the free compound FA-142. Fluorescence properties open new and interesting applications for some of these antitumoral and DNA-intercalating naphthalimides.

Background: There has been a growing claim that cell phone usage may have a detrimental effect on sperm chromatin. Infertile men possess anomalies in the composition of their sperm nuclei, displaying higher levels of loosely packaged chromatin and damaged DNA. In this study we examined the relationship of cell phone radiation and the protection effect of alpha_tocopherol on human sperm DNA. Mat...

Background: Cisplatin (CIS), an anticancer alkylating agent, induces DNA adducts and effectively cross links the DNA strands and so affects spermatozoa as a male reproductive tract toxicant. Materials and Methods: The present study investigated the cellular/biochemical mechanisms underlying possible protective effect of selenium nano-particles (Nano-Se) as an established strong antioxidant with...

Background: Antipsychotic medication use is a common cause of hyperprolactinemia that shown to have adverse effects on male fertility. Risperidone is a combined serotonin/dopamine receptor antagonist that can cause elevations in prolactine level. Its mechanism of cytotoxic effects on testicular germ cells is not fully understood. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of risperi...

Background: Oxidative stress occurs when the oxidative homeostasis is damage. Excessive ROS are generated and this reaction has been proposed to produce marked damage to the structure and function of sperm. Materials and Methods: This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of of American Ginseng against cyclophosphamide - induced damage in the rat sperm. For this experiment, t...
