Vincristine, one of the anti-cancer drugs used in veterinary practice, has adverse hematological and gastrointestinal effects in dogs. Juzen-taiho-to is a traditional Chinese medicine used for patients with anorexia in human medicine. However, the protective effects of Juzen-taiho-to against anti-cancer drug-induced toxicity in dogs have not been investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the dynamics of NH4(CH3OH)m(NH3)n clusters formed by photolysis using femtosecond lasers, revealing a three-step reaction model involving hydrogen-atom transfer, radical-pair relaxation, and cluster dissociation.
  • The initial hydrogen transfer occurs slowly, indicating difficulties in creating the radical pair (CH3OH2-NH2)* from ammonia and methanol.
  • Variations in time constants for each reaction step depend on solvent composition and factors such as hydrogen delocalization, excited-state conversion, and solvation stabilization, with different probe wavelengths affecting ionization efficiency.
