Background: The aminoisoquinoline FX-9 shows pro-apoptotic and antimitotic effects against lymphoblastic leukemia cells and prostate adenocarcinoma cells. In contrast, decreased cytotoxic effects against non-neoplastic blood cells, chondrocytes, and fibroblasts were observed. However, the actual FX-9 molecular mode of action is currently not fully understood.

Article Synopsis
  • Pimobendan is a medicine used for dogs with heart problems, specifically congestive heart failure and a condition called degenerative mitral valve disease.
  • A study with 15 dogs tested how effective Pimobendan is by comparing it to a placebo (a fake treatment) over six months.
  • Results showed that dogs taking Pimobendan were more active, their heart size improved, and their heart-related test results got better compared to when they took the placebo.

The isoquinolinamine FX-9 is a novel potential chemotherapeutic agent showing antiproliferative effects against hematologic and prostate cancer cell lines such as B- and T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and prostate cancer (PC) of different species. Interestingly, FX-9 shows no hemolytic activity and low toxicity in benign adherent cells. The detailed FX-9 molecular mode of action is currently not fully understood.

Current therapies are insufficient for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) in men and dogs. As human castrate-resistant PCa shares several characteristics with the canine disease, comparative evaluation of novel therapeutic agents is of considerable value for both species. Novel isoquinolinamine FX-9 exhibits antiproliferative activity in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines but has not been tested yet on any solid neoplasia type.

We investigate charge relaxation in quantum wires of spinless disordered fermions (t-V model). Our observable is the time-dependent density propagator Π_{ϵ}(x,t), calculated in windows of different energy density ϵ of the many-body Hamiltonian and at different disorder strengths W, not exceeding the critical value W_{c}. The width Δx_{ϵ}(t) of Π_{ϵ}(x,t) exhibits a behavior dlnΔx_{ϵ}(t)/dlnt=β_{ϵ}(t), where the exponent function β_{ϵ}(t)≲1/2 is seen to depend strongly on L at all investigated parameter combinations.
