Clinicopathological, radiological, and histological studies were performed on urinary bladder neoplasia induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) in five adult beagle dogs and in ten adult mongrel dogs. Tumors of the urinary bladder developed in dogs given various daily doses of BBN p.o. for different periods. The latent period of tumor induction was 4 years in dogs receiving a dai...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(23)N(3)O(6), is twisted about the chiral C atom with the dihedral angle formed between the amide residues being 76.9 (3)°. Overall, the mol-ecule is curved with the terminal organic groups lying to the same side. The conformation about the imine bond [1.291 (5) Å] is E and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, ...

The piperidine ring of the title compound, C15H25N3O3, adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation with the cis substituents displaying an N-C-C-C torsion angle of 43.0 (3)°. The cyano group (plane defined by C-C-C N atoms) is bent slightly out of the plane of the amide group by 13.3 (2)°. The carbamate group is oriented at a dihedral angle of 60.3 (5)° relative to the amide group.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(25)H(30)N(2)O(4), the steric size of the tert-butyl group causes the 3,5-dimethyl-phenyl ring to adopt a transoid geometry with respect to the N-C(O) bond. The six-membered heterocyclic ring is disordered over two sites, with occupancies of 0.553 (4) and 0.447 (4). Intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions are present. In the crystal, mol-ecules are l...

Bladder cancer frequently shows mutational activation of the oncogene Ras, which is associated with bladder carcinogenesis. However, the signaling pathway downstream of Ras remains to be fully elucidated. N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) is able to induce bladder cancer by driving the clonal expansion of initiated cells carrying the activated form of Ras. Phospholipase Cε (PLCε) is ...

The bladder is an important organ for the storage of excreted water and metabolites. If metabolites with carcinogenic characteristics are present in urine, the urothelial lining of the bladder could be damaged and genetically altered. In this study, we analyzed the interaction of arsenic and N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) on mouse bladder carcinogenesis. Our previous study found th...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(23)N(3)O(5), is twisted about the chiral C atom, the dihedral angle formed between the amide residues being 79.6 (3)°. The conformation about the imine bond [1.278 (5) Å] is E. In the crystal, O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the hy-droxy, amine and carbonyl groups leads to the formation of supra-molecular layers, which stack along the c-axis ...
