1. The fluorescence characteristics of 3- and 7-hydroxycoumarin, and 7-hydroxy-and 7-methoxy-4-methylcoumarin, have been determined. 7-Hydroxycoumarin shows excited-state ionization from pH1 to 9. 2. A sensitive and specific fluorimetric method for the determination of 7-hydroxycoumarin (umbelliferone), and its application to liver homogenates and other tissue preparations, are described. 3. The enzymic hydroxylation of coumarin to 7-hydroxycoumarin has been studied by this method and the optimum conditions have been determined for rabbit-liver preparations. The enzymic activity was found in the microsomal fraction and required NADPH2 and oxygen. Activity with NADH2 was one-third of that with NADPH2. 4. Addition of NADP was necessary for full activity of 10000g supernatant preparations of liver. Nicotinamide added during preparation preserved coenzymic activity in tissue stored at −12°. Glucose 6-phosphate had no effect on the activity of stored or fresh tissue. 5. Inhibition occurred with p-chloromercuribenzoate, and with the usual inhibitors of the microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes, SKF acid, SKF 525A, and Lilly 7132, but not with 2,2′-bipyridyl. 6. Liver homogenates from rabbit, guinea pig, coypu, cat and pigeon showed activity, but preparations of rat or mouse liver, and of locust fat bodies, did not hydroxylate coumarin to umbelliferone. The enzyme system was absent from rat-liver homogenates and microsomal preparations. Moreover, rat liver also contained inhibitors of the rabbit-liver coumarin-7-hydroxylase system and of the further metabolism of umbelliferone by guinea-pig liver. Guinea-pig-liver preparations hydroxylated coumarin to umbelliferone and then converted this product into its glucuronide. 7. The coumarin-7-hydroxylase activity of female rabbit liver was two to three times that of male rabbit liver. 相似文献

Monolayer formation of SaOS‐2 (human osteoblast‐like cells) was observed on VACNT (vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes) scaffolds without purification or functionalization. The VACNT were produced by a microwave plasma chemical vapour deposition on titanium surfaces with nickel or iron as catalyst. Cell viability and morphology studies were evaluated by LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) release assay and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. The non‐toxicity and the flat spreading with monolayer formation of the SaOs‐2 on VACNT scaffolds surface indicate that they can be used for biomedical applications. 相似文献

The immunophenotype of HT29 human colon cancer cells implanted into severe combined immunodeficient mice was assessed in primary
tumours and their metastases in the lungs using an indirect immunohistochemical method. After primary tumours were surgically
removed, the metastases were given time to develop, thus paralleling the clinical situation. While vimentin was negative in
both primary and secondary tumours, E-cadherin was present as membrane-bound labelling in the primary tumours only. Whereas
the markers p53, MIB1, PCNA and CEA were consistently positive in both primary and metastatic tumours, CD44 variant 6 and
CA125 were negative in metastases but positive in the primary tumours. There was a significant increase in the percentage
of cells labelled for p53 in the primary tumours compared with the metastases. For the proliferation markers, there was no
significant difference in labelling between primary tumours and metastases for MIB1. Of the cytokeratins examined, CK 20 gave
the strongest and most consistent reaction in both primary and secondary tumours. The results indicate that, for certain immunohistochemical
markers, results are the same in both primary tumours and metastases. Hence, in these cases, antigens that are expressed on
the primary tumour as well as on the metastases can serve as target molecules for immunologically based forms of treatment
of metastases.

Comparisons of the molecular evolutionary process at rbcL and ndhF in the grass family (Poaceae) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
We examine rate heterogeneity among evolutionary lineages of the grass
family at two plasmid loci, ndhF and rbcL, and we introduce a method to
determine whether patterns of rate heterogeneity are correlated between
loci. We show both that rates of synonymous evolution are heterogeneous
among grass lineages and that are heterogeneity is correlated between loci
at synonymous sites. At nonsynonymous sites, the pattern of rate
heterogeneity is not correlated between loci, primarily due to an aberrant
pattern of rate heterogeneity at nonsynonymous sites of rbcL. We compare
patterns of synonymous rate heterogeneity to predictors based on the
generation time effect and the speciation rate hypotheses. Although there
is some evidence for generation time effects, neither generation time
effects nor speciation rates appear to be sufficient to explain patterns of
rate heterogeneity in the grass plastid sequences.

The condensation of 7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (1) with a number of substituted salicylaldehydes yielded a series of Schiff bases (2a–2k) in good yields. Subsequent reaction of these ligands with copper(II) acetate yielded Cu(II) complexes (3a–3k) and some were characterised using X-ray crystallography. All of the free ligands and their metal complexes were tested for their anti-Candida activity. A number of the ligands and complexes exhibited anti-Candida activity comparable to that of the commercially available antifungal drugs, ketoconazole and Amphotericin B. 相似文献
