A carboxylated adenosine analog (C-Ado−) has been synthesized and probed via time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in order to induce intra-molecular charge transfer from the carboxylic acid moiety nucleobase. Intra-molecular can be exploited as starting point probe low-energy electron (LEE) damage DNA its derivatives. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations at B3LYP-6...

Background: Phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular level of adenosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) and guanosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP). Subsequently PDE3 inhibitors have shown to relax vascular and inhibit platelet aggregation in cardiovascular disease. Objectives: In th...

1. Urinary cyclic nucleotide excretion was studied in 51 patients with malignant tumours and in 24 control subjects. 2. Adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate excretion was normal in patients with tumours. 3. Urinary excretion of guanosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate was significantly greater than normal in patients with lymphoid tumours (both sexes) and in male patients with myeloid tumours or ma...

An abstract of this work appeared in 1970 Abstracts, The American Society of Nephrology. Received for publication 27 October 1970 and in revised form 28 January 1971. similar to the effect of renal arterial infusion of isoproterenol. The results suggest that synthesis of cyclic AMP in proximal renal tubule cells in response to stimulation of beta adrenergic or other receptors can mediate a decr...

Cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate inhibits the synthesis of beta-galactosidase and tryptophanase in cultures of Escherichia coli growing in minimal media with glucose or glycerol as the carbon source. Cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate acts at the transcriptional level in the lac operon, it exerts its action at the promoter site of the operon, and requires the presence of functional cyclic...
