With the use of a newly developed and convenient enzymatic method, tissue, urine and blood polyamine (diamine, spermidine and spermine) levels were evaluated as a tumor marker of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in 50 cases with the disease. Furthermore, blood and urine polyamines were periodically determined and evaluated as a follow-up marker. The pretreatment three polyamine levels in tissue, bloo...

1. The induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts or an SV-40 transformed 3T3 cell line by serum was prevented by addition of the naturally occurring polyamines putrescine (butane-1,4-diamine) and spermidine. Much higher concentrations of these amines were required to fully suppress ornithine decarboxylase activity in the transformed SV-3T3 cells than in the 3T3 fibr...

New Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes of the type [M(bzoS)2(diamine)] {where M = or } from treatment one mole diamine ligands {diamine , phenanthroline (Phen), bipyridine (Bipy), ethylene (en), N,N′-dimethyl (dmen)} with [M(bzoS)2] complexes. The prepared were characterization by elemental analysis (CHN), molar conductivity, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance proton (1H NMR). bzoS- lig...

1. The purification of monoamine oxidase and diamine oxidase from normal human term placental tissue is described. 2. The properties of these enzymes are reported and compared with the properties of unpurified human pregnancy plasma. 3. This comparison shows that the amine oxidase of pregnancy plasma has properties corresponding to purified placental diamine oxidase, suggesting a placental orig...

In the title cobalt(II) compound, [Co(C(12)H(21)N(2)Si)Cl(C(6)H(16)N(2))], the ethane-1,2-diamine donor mol-ecule coordin-ates the metal atom in an N,N'-chelating mode, with Co-N distances of 2.136 (2) and 2.140 (3) Å. An anilide ligand connects to the Co(II) atom with a σ-bond, the Co-N(anilide) distance being 1.931 (2) Å. The four-coordinate Co(II) atom demonstrates a slightly distorted tetra...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(4)N(2)O(2), comprises half of a potentially tetra-dentate Schiff base ligand, located about a twofold rotation axis which bis-ects the central C-C bond of the ethane-1,2-diamine group. In the solid state, the compound exists in the zwitterionic form. There are two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds making S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal...

Treating 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1) with N1-phenyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2diamine (4) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine in EtOH at ca. 0 ◦C for 4 h affords a mixture of N1-(5-ethoxy-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N2-phenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (5) (38%) and N1-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-N2-phenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (6) (51%) that can be separated by chrom...

This study describes the effects of the substituents on electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of the three tetradentate Schiff bases, containing ethane-1,2- diamine, propane-1,3- diamine and butan-1,4- diamine as the amine part and salicylaldehyde, and corresponding Cd(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammograms of these compounds were recorded in dimethylsulfoxide and 0.1 M sodium perchlor...

INTRODUCTION Intolerance to various foods, excluding bona fide coeliac disease and lactose intolerance, represents a growing cause of patient visits to allergy clinics.Histamine intolerance is a long-known, multifaceted clinical condition triggered by histamine-rich foods and alcohol and/or by drugs that liberate histamine or block diamine oxidase (DAO), the main enzyme involved in the metaboli...
