The nitrogen mustard derivatives of 4-phenylbutyric acid and L-phenylalanine, called chlorambucil (Chl) and melphalan (Mel), respectively, have been incorporated into several peptide hormones, including luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH). The alkylating analogues of LH-RH were prepared by linking Chl, as an N-acyl moiety, to the complete amino acid sequence of agonistic and antagonis...

Nucleoside analogues have proven to be a highly successful class of anti-cancer and anti-viral drugs. The therapeutic efficacy of nucleoside analogues is dependent of their intracellular phosphorylation. Two cellular nucleoside kinases, deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) and UMP-CMP kinase (CMK) are critical for phosphorylation of cytidine analogues. These kinases provide two first steps of activation ...

a quantitative structure-activity relationship (qsar) study was conducted for the prediction of inhibitory activity of 1-phenyl[2h]-tetrahydro-triazine-3-one analogues as inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase. the inhibitory activities of the 1-phenyl[2h]-tetrahydro-triazine-3-one analogues modeled as a function of molecular structures using chemometrics methods such as multiple linear regression (mlr) ...

Let $(u_n)$ be a sequence of fuzzy numbers.  We recover the slow oscillation of $(u_n)$ of fuzzy numbers from the Ces`{a}ro summability of its generator sequence and some additional conditions imposed on $(u_n)$. Further, fuzzy analogues of some well known classical Tauberian theorems for Ces`{a}ro summability method are established as particular cases.

A new series of alkylthio imidazole analogues of captopril, an ACE inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension, was designed and synthesized in order to obtain agents more active than captopril with less side effects. All the compounds thus prepared were purified and characterized by IR, NMR and Mass analytical instruments.

Four conformationally restricted analogues of pentamidine were prepared. Then, different concentrations (0.039, 0.078, 0.156, 0.312 and 0.625 mg/mL) of each compound and two positive controls (amphotericin B and pentamidine, 0.625 mg/mL), one negative control (culture medium) and one solvent control (DMSO) were prepared and placed in 24-well plates containing 50000 parasite per well. Promastigo...
