Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in women. Genetic alterations including overexpression of EGFR play a crucial role in ovarian carcinogenesis. Here we evaluated the effect of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in ovarian tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Oral administration of 12 µmol PEITC resulted in drastically suppressing ovarian tumor growth in a preclinical mouse...

Free energy of oxidation and reorganization energy were approximated from the total energy differences computed using the B3LYP functional[1] and the 3-21G* basis set (all structures were optimized at this level). Polarized Continuum Model (PCM)[2] was included to mimic solvent effects in DSSCs, using the solvent parameters appropriate for acetonitrile. The model was built with a solvent exclud...

phospholipids are important for the biological lipid and are commonly used in biophysical studies.a quantumcalculation for two phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine and dipalmitoylphosphatidic acidwere performed using the abinitio software. geometry optimization structures were obtained at rhf level using3-21g, 6-31g*. these basis sets were used to understanding the effects of envir...

nowadays nmr spectroscopy becomes a powerful tool in chemistry because of the nmr chemical shifts. hartree–fock theory and the gauge-including atomic orbital (giao) methods are used in the calculation of 29si nmr chemical shifts of various silicate species in the silicate solution as initial components for zeolite synthesis both in gas and solution phase. calculations have been performed at geo...

The activity of 12 human and guinea pig histamine H1-receptor agonists are investigated computationally. The mapped electrostatic potentials on the molecular surfaces of each of the structures are analyzed at HF/3-21G level of theory to identify any common features that possibly relate to their subsequent agonistic activities. Statistically derived quantities including potential’s minima VS,min...

OBJECTIVE To observe the changes in spinal cord pathophysiology, motor function and electrophysiology after spinal cord injuries induced by punctures with different needles, and explore a new means for studying spinal neurotoxicity of local anesthetics. METHODS A total of 144 SD rats were randomly allocated into the sham-operated group (n=36) and 3 spinal cord injury groups (n=36) with the L4...

Novel mononuclear Zn(ii) 4, Co(ii) 5 and Cu(ii) 6 metallophthalocyanines have been synthesized from 4,4'(ethane-1,1-p-phenol-2,2-p-phenoxy)phthalonitrile 3, which can be obtained by the reaction of 4-nitrophthalonitrile 1 with 1,1,2,2-tetrakis(p-hydroxy-phenyl)-ethane 2. The target water-soluble derivatives of 7-9 were acquired from a boiling suspension of the compounds in aqueous 20% KOH solut...

The geometries of various tautomers and isomers of 2-methylamino-2-imidazoline, 2-methylamino-2oxazoline, 2-methylamino-2-thiazoline, 2-phenylamino-2-imidazoline, 2-phenylamino-2-oxazoline, and 2-phenylamino-2-thiazoline have been studied using the Becke3LYP/6–31+G(d,p) DFT, ONIOM(Becke3LYP/6–31+G(d,p):HF/3–21G∗) and ONIOM(Becke3LYP/6–31+G(d,p):AM1) methods. The optimized geometries indicate th...
