A structure–activity study of neurokinin A (NKA) (4–10) was performed to investigate the importance of residue and chirality for affinity and efficacy at the NK2 receptor in human colon circular muscle. Two series of NKA(4–10) analogues were produced with either l-alanine or the d-enantiomer ...
Neurokinin B (NKB) is a potential regulator of pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion via activation of the neurokinin-3 receptor (NK3R). NKB with the consensus sequence of the tachykinin peptide family also binds to other tachykinin receptors [neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) and...
The tachykinin neuropeptide family, which includes substance P and neurokinin B, is involved in a wide array of biological functions. Among these is the ability to protect against the neurotoxic processes in Alzheimer’s Disease, but the mechanisms driving neuroprotection remain unclear. Dysregu...
Concerns regarding non-target toxicity of new herbicides used to control invasive aquatic weeds in the San Francisco Estuary led us to compare sub-lethal toxicity of four herbicides (penoxsulam, imazamox, fluridone, and glyphosate) on an endangered fish species Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacifi...
In Ukraine Globally Harmonized System of classification of chemicals has not been implemented yet. In this article we analyze differences between GHS/CLP classification systems and Hygienic Classification of Pesticides by the Degree of Hazard currently in force in Ukraine in respect of approach ...
Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a forage and grain legume, widely distributed throughout the world. Alterations induced by the herbicide imazamox on plant growth, acetohydroxyacid synthase activity, total free amino acids, as well as concentrations of valine, leucine, isoleucine and imazamox i...
The resistance of crops to herbicides can be due to target site based resistance or non-target site based resistance mechanisms or a combination of both. In non-target site resistance, the detoxification efficiency plays a major role by involvement of enzymes such as P450s, GTs, GSTs and ABC tra...
Imidazolinone (IMI)-resistant crops exhibit relative tolerance to herbicides that inhibit the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). The principal objective of this work was to evaluate the different resistance levels to imazamox between five Clearfield wheat cultivars. The IMI-resistant wheat cult...
Herbicidal residues of imazamox are hazardous to some sensitive rotational aftercrops. The aim of the study was to isolate and identify a microbial strain capable of degrading imazamox. The strain IB5, capable of efficiently degrading imazamox, was isolated from an imazamox-contaminated soybean ...
A synthesized anionic clay (layered double hydroxide or LDH) and a commercial cationic organoclay (Cloisite 10A, Clo10A) were assayed as host nanocarriers for imazamox (Imz) herbicide. Imz-LDH complexes were obtained by direct synthesis (DS) and regeneration (RE), whereas Imz-Clo10A complexes we...
Ten putative resistant and two susceptible Rapistrum rugosum populations originating from Greece were studied for resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides, using dose–response assays, sequencing of als gene and in vitro ALS activity assays. The dose–response assays showe...
Groundwater bodies are impacted by substances such as pesticides and N-fertilizers, which usually occur in the environment as complex mixtures rather than isolated pollutants. The threat that these mixtures pose to groundwater-dwelling organisms is still poorly understood. The aims of the presen...
We studied the acute toxicity of an imazamox-based herbicide at 12, 24 and 36 mg/kg body (bw) weight imazamox equivalent dose on the liver and pancreatic tissue in Sprague Dawley rats. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities, glucose, calcium as well as cre...
Gossypol tetramethyl ether [C30H24O2(OCH3)4]and gossypol hexamethyl ether [C30 H24 O2(OCH3)6], which in contrast to gossypol are stable compounds, were tested for their ability to depress fructose degradation in fresh human sperm cells. Both ethers inhibited spermatozoal fructolysis, yet less ef...
The role of different gossypol tautomers in the interaction of this molecule with membranes has been investigated using the isolated hemiacetal moiety of gossypol and the pH dependency of the keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium. Our results indicate that: (a) the actions of the hemiacetal tautomer ...
Gossypol is a di-sesquiterpene natural-product in the form of a functionalised binaphthyl and is isolated from cotton plants. The compound has long been known to exhibit anti-malarial and other biological activities. Previous studies have indicated that compounds of this type target Plasmodium f...
Hydrazone of gossypol with hydrazine (GH) has been synthesised and its structure has been studied by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 13C CP-MAS, 15N CP-MAS, FT-IR and PM5 semiempirical methods. The results have shown that the simplest hydrazone of gossypol exists both in solution and in solid in the N-imine–N...
A novel strategy for the preparation of infinite coordination polymer nanoparticles (ICPs) based nanomedicines was developed, with which hyaluronic acid modified AQ4N-Cu(II)-gossypol nanoparticles ([email protected](II)-gossypol NPs) were obtained. This is a highly efficient nanomedicine, in whi...
Novel glycosidic gossypol analogs, 7,7′-gossypol diglucoside tetraacetate GS1, 6,7′-gossypol diglucoside tetraacetate GS2, 7,7′-gossypol diglycoside GS1′, 6,7′-gossypol diglycoside GS2′ were obtained by the ultrasound-assisted reaction of the potassium salt of gossypol with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O...
The cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera and the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens are closely related generalist insect herbivores and serious pest species on a number of economically important crop plants including cotton. Even though cotton is well defended by its major defensive compound g...
