BACKGROUND The sensitizing effects of 2-benzoyl-3-phenyl-6,7-dichloroquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide (DCQ) and ionizing radiation (IR) were determined in four colon cancer cells and in FHs74Int normal intestinal cells. METHODS Cell cycle modulation, TUNEL assay, clonogenic survival and DNA damage were examined under oxia or hypoxia. Effects on apoptotic molecules and on p-Akt and Cox-2 protein expres...

BACKGROUND DCQ (2-benzoyl-3-phenyl-6,7-dichloroquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide), a synthetic quinoxaline 1,4-dioxide, enhances the cytotoxic effect of ionizing radiation (IR) in vivo and in vitro. We sought to clarify whether increased radiation-induced DNA damage, decreased rate of damage repair, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to DCQ enhancement of IR. METHODS Murine ...

the synthesis of smcl3(thf)3 from smcl3.6h2o is described. the reaction of smcl3(thf)3 with nabh4 in dry thf gave white microcrystalline tris (tetrahydroborato) tris (tetrahydrofuran) samarium (iii), sm(bh4)3(thf)3. the vibrational and magnetic properties of sm(bh4)3(thf)3 have been studied.
