2-[(4-BromoÂphenylÂimino)ÂmethÂyl]-4,6-diÂiodoÂphenol
The title compound, C13H8BrI2NO, was prepared by the reaction of 3,5-diiodoÂsalicylÂaldehyde with 4-bromoÂphenylÂamine in ethanol. There is an intraÂmolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond in the molÂecule, which generates an S(6) ring. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 2.6 (3)°
2-[(2-ChloroÂphenÂyl)iminoÂmethÂyl]-4,6-diÂiodoÂphenol
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H8ClI2NO, contains half of the molÂecule situated on a mirror plane. The hyÂdroxy group is involved in the formation of an intraÂmolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. π–π interÂactions between the benzene rings of neighbouring molÂecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.629 (3) Å] form stacks along the b axis. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl interÂactions are observed
Up-regulation of fas reverses cisplatin resistance of human small cell lung cancer cells
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background/Aim</p> <p>Fas/FasL system is a major regulator of apoptosis. The mechanisms by which Fas mediates cisplatin resistance remain unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of Fas over-expression on cisplatin resistance of small cell lung cancer cells and its possible mechanisms.</p> <p>Materials and methods</p> <p>Fas was over-expressed in H446/CDDP cells by infection with the adenoviruses containing Fas. Sensitivity of Fas-overexpressed H446/CDDP cells to cisplatin was evaluated using MTT assay. Expressions of Fas, GST-Ï€ and ERCC1 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Apoptosis rate was examined by FACS.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Over-expression of Fas in H446/CDDP cells significantly decreased the expressions of GST-Ï€ and ERCC1 at mRNA and protein levels, and increased the cell apoptosis. Furthermore, up-regulation of Fas significantly decreased the tolerance of H446/CDDP cells to cisplatin.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Over-expression of Fas reverses drug resistance of H446/CDDP cells, possibly due to the increased cell sensitivity to apoptosis and the decreased expressions of GST-Ï€ and ERCC1.</p
