[Characterization of Tailpipe Emissions from in-use Excavators].

In this paper, the objective is to characterize real-world tailpipe emissions for excavators. Eight excavators in several construction sites in Chengdu were selected in this study. A portable emission measurement system (PEMS) was used for real-world emissions measurements (i.

[The design of muti-target antitumor drugs affecting on FTase and Raf-1 kinase].

Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK singal transduction plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metastasis and metabolism. This investigation focused on this signal pathway and chose farnesyl transferase (FTase) as the main target and Raf-1 kinase as the second target. A lot of compounds were selected to construct the pharmacophore models of farnesyl transferase inhibitors (FTIs) and Raf-1 kinase inhibitors by using computer-aided drug design (CADD).

[Progress in the study of antitumor drug targeting on the Ras signaling pathway].

Ras signaling pathway is closely related to the formation and growth of tumor. Currently, targeting on this signaling pathway is a hot research point for the design and development of anticancer drugs. In this paper, Ras protein as well as its related targets and inhibitors in signaling pathway were reviewed.

Design, synthesis, and cytoprotective effect of 2-aminothiazole analogues as potent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 inhibitors.

A series of novel poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) inhibitors were designed within 2-aminothiazole analogues (4-10) based on a constructed three-dimensional pharmacophore model. After synthesis, the inhibitory effect on PARP-1 activity and the cytoprotective action of these compounds were tested and evaluated. Among them, compounds 4-6 and 10 appeared to be potent PARP-1 inhibitors with IC(50) values less than 1 microM, which had been perfectly predicted by pharmacophore model.
