ITROGEN mustard (HN-2), at doses which bring about almost total inactiNvation of the treated conidia, has a powerful stimulating effect on somatic segregation in some heterozygous Penicillium chrysogenum diploids (MORPURGO and SERMONTI 1959). On plating the surviving conidia, color marker segregants appear as yellow or white entire colonies, or yellow or white sectors emerging from the green ph...

Uramustine (or uracil mustard, 5-aminouracil mustard, chlorethaminacil), is an bi-functional alkylating nitrogen mustard agent that utilizes a natural product to carry the nitrogen mustard group to a selective metabolite site. The potential for applying uramustine as a therapeutic drug appeared in the 60’s, where its potential as a treatment tool for metastatic Wilms’s tumor was notes (Wilm’s t...

The number phytopathogenic micromycetes is determined in the seeds of such cultivated varieties cultural plant as soybeans, sunflowers, yellow mustard, buckwheat and thistle, which are grown by organic technology. It shown that differs significantly ranges from 0.2 to 1.3 thousand NCO/g seeds. depends on properties plants variety hybrid, characterized some certain set physiological biochemical ...

As one of the most important vesicant agents, the destructive properties of mustards on the skin, eyes and respiratory system, combined with a lack of antidote, makes them effective weapons. Such weapons are inexpensive, easily obtainable and frequently stockpiled. Sulphur mustard (mustard gas) has been used as a chemical warfare agent in at least 10 conflicts. In this article, the use of musta...

Most herbivorous insect species are restricted to a narrow taxonomic range of host plant species. Herbivore species that feed on mustard plants and their relatives in the Brassicales have evolved highly efficient detoxification mechanisms that actually prevent toxic mustard oils from forming in the bodies of the animals. However, these mechanisms likely were not present during the initial stage...

Aims: To present 12 new variants of uracil mustard having drug-like properties and cytotoxic functional group, by utilizing uracil mustard (uramustine) as a lead compound. Utilize rigorous substructure and similarity of a molecular scaffold to determine drug like variants. Physicochemical properties determined indicate the variants have favorable drug-likeness. Study Design: Conduct molecular d...

Background: Sulfur mustard gas is a chemical agent that has been used in many wars, especially in Iran-Iraq war. This chemical agent affects many organs including lungs, eyes and skin, causing numerous acute and chronic lesions including erythema and hyperpigmentation, respectively. This study was conducted to evaluate erythema and melanin in subjects with a history of exposure to sulfur ...

Mustard leaf (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) using as material of a traditional fermented vegetable food (Kimchi) in Korea, is one of the important vegetables. Two cultivars of mustard (red and green) were grown in the experimental farm of Chungnam National University and allowed them to grow until flowering stage. In this study, the variability of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content and mRNA tran...

background: sulfur mustard (sm) has been considered as a carcinogen in the laboratory studies. however, its carcinogenic effects on human beings were not well discussed. the main purpose of our study is to assess carcinogenesis of sm following acute and/or chronic exposures in human beings. methods: the valid scientific english and persian databases including pubmed, web of science, scopus, ira...
