Heterogeneous response to differentiation induction with different polar compounds in a clonal rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell line (BA-HAN-1C)

1989

The clonal rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell line BA-HAN-1C was tested for its susceptibility to differentiation induction with different polar compounds. This cell line is composed of proliferating mononuclear tumour cells, some of which spontaneously fuse to form terminally differentiated postmitotic myotube-like giant cells. Exposure of BA-HAN-1C cells to dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA), sodium butyrate (NaBut) and N-monomethylformamide (NMF) resulted in a significant inhibition of proliferation (P less than 0.001) and in a simultaneous increase in differentiation. The response was most pronounced after exposure to NMF as evidenced by a marked increase in the creatin…

Enhanced expression of the proto-oncogenes fos and raf in the rhabdomyosarcoma cell line BA-HAN-1C after differentiation induction with retinoic acid…

1990

BA-HAN-IC is a clonal rat rhabdomyosarcoma cell line consisting of proliferating mononuclear tumor cells, some of which spontaneously fuse to form terminally differentiated post-mitotic myotubes. Exposure of BA-HAN-IC cells to retinoic acid (RA) or N-methylformamide (NMF) resulted in a significant inhibition of proliferation (p less than 0.001) and in cellular differentiation, as evidenced by a significant increase in the creatine kinase (CK) activity (p less than 0.05) and the number of terminally differentiated post-mitotic myotubes (p less than 0.001). Furthermore, between 5% (NMF) and 30% (RA) of the mononuclear tumor cells exhibited ultrastructural features of rhabdomyogenic differenti…

Separation of chelating agents as copper complexes by capillary zone electrophoresis using quaternary ammonium bromides as additives in N-methylforma…

2006

This study presents the use of quaternary ammonium bromides as additives in N-methylformamide (NMF) for the separation and quantification of chelating agents as copper complexes by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The new quaternary ammonium bromides were synthesized in our laboratory and used for the first time for CZE applications performed in NMF media. The methods were developed and optimized for determination of six chelating agents (trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N',N'-triacetic acid (HEDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) and trieth…

Asymmetric and Symmetric Dicopper(II) Paddle-Wheel Units with Modified Nucleobases

2015

New copper(II) paddle-wheel complexes with different modified nucleobases and simple molecules in the axial positions have been prepared by direct reactions between copper(II) salts and the corresponding uracil- or thymine-1-acetic acids under inert atmosphere to produce the two homoleptic complexes, [Cu2(μ-OOCCH2-T)4(G)2] and [Cu2(μ-OOCCH2-U)4(G)2], and the heteroleptic one [Cu2(μ-OOCCH2-T)2(μ-OOCCH2-U)2(G)2] (where OOCCH2-T = thymine-1-acetate, OOCCH2-U = uracil-1-acetate, and G = dimethylformamide, water, dimethylacetamide, or dimethyl sulfoxide). Interestingly, the crystal structures of this family of closely related molecules present significant differences in their supramolecular arra…

Marine Isonitriles and Their Related Compounds.

2016

Marine isonitriles represent the largest group of natural products carrying the remarkable isocyanide moiety. Together with marine isothiocyanates and formamides, which originate from the same biosynthetic pathways, they offer diverse biological activities and in spite of their exotic nature they may constitute potential lead structures for pharmaceutical development. Among other biological activities, several marine isonitriles show antimalarial, antitubercular, antifouling and antiplasmodial effects. In contrast to terrestrial isonitriles, which are mostly derived from α-amino acids, the vast majority of marine representatives are of terpenoid origin. An overview of all known marine isoni…

Ionomers in solution: 1. Viscometric and chromatographic studies in cononsolvent and cosolvent mixtures

1997

Abstract The viscosity and elution behaviour of polystyrene sulfonate ionomers with varying ionic content has been studied in the pure solvents chloroform (CHL), tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxan (DIO), ethyl acetate (EA) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as well as in their cononsolvent mixtures CHL/THF (50:50), DIO/CHL (75:25) and in the cosolvent mixture EA/DMF (50:50). In the pure solvents with low dielectric constant the reduced viscosities of ionomers are lower at low concentrations and higher at moderate ones than the respective viscosities of the polystyrene precursor. These results can be explained by formation of intramolecular and intermolecular associations. Moreover, differences in visco…

Preferential solvation of a dicyanate ester monomer and poly(sulfone) in different organic solvents by size-exclusion chromatography.

2002

Preferential solvation parameters A in the ternary systems solvent (1) -monomer (2) -polymer (3) were determined as a tool to measure the compatibility between the cyanate ester monomer Arocy B10 and poly(sulfone), PSF, in the presence of three organic solvents: tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide and dicloromethane. The A parameter was measured by size-exclusion chromatography at different monomer-to-polymer ratios. The quantitative evaluation was rigorously made at polymer-diluted conditions. PSF was found to be preferentially solvated by the monomer. Concerning the solvent used, systems containing tetrahydrofuran showed the strongest solvation, the lowest A values being those obtained in …

Hexakis(dimethylformamide)iron(II) complex cation in hexahalorhenate(IV)-based salts: synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic properties

2018

Two iron(II)-rhenium(IV) compounds of general formula [FeII(dmf)6][ReIVX6] [X = Cl (1) and Br (2); dmf = N,N-dimethylformamide] have been prepared and characterized. X-ray powder diffraction measurements on samples of 1 and 2 support the same structure for both systems. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group Pī. Each iron(II) is six-coordinate and bonded to six oxygens from six dmf molecules building a distorted octahedral environment. Rhenium(IV) is six-coordinate by six halide anions in an almost regular octahedral geometry. The magnetic properties were investigated from variable-temperature ma…

Crystal structure, magnetic and spectroscopic properties of copper(II) formato dimethylformamide: a new tetracarboxylato-bridged copper(II) dimer

2002

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of a new tetracarboxylato copper(II) dimer [bis(dimethylformamide)tetrakis(μ-formato)dicopper(II)], has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure consists of a centrosymmetric dimer [Cu2(HCOO)4(dmf)2], where four bidentate formato anions form syn–syn bridges between the metal ions which are in a 4+1 environment. Magnetic susceptibility data show that the copper ions are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled with J=−470 cm−1. The EPR spectrum shows a characteristic pattern of a triplet state with a D zero field splitting value of 0.27 cm−1.
