The structure and composition of products from the reaction of anthracene oil with anhydrous AlCl3 have been examined. Size-exclusion chromatography has been carried out using a column with polystyrene-polydivinylbenzene as stationary phase, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone at 80 degrees C as eluent and variable-wavelength UV-absorption detection. This system provides a chromatogram of the sample with several peaks. Molecular masses corresponding to these peaks were estimated using a calibration curve obtained with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon standards, ranging from 92 to 532 u. The most abundant compounds of the substrate were dimers and trimers of the main anthracene oil components. These results are corroborated on a qualitative level by synchronous UV-fluorescence spectra.

This study investigated the chemopreventive mechanisms of fish oil (FO) at different doses and administration routes in skin carcinogenesis induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) and croton oil (CO) in Swiss albino mice. Seventy mice were divided into 10 groups, including controls and those receiving FO either orally or topically, with or without the carcinogenesis protocol. Warts were morphologically analyzed.

Background: The skin, with its robust structural integrity and advanced immune defense system, serves as a critical protective barrier against environmental toxins and carcinogenic compounds. Despite this, it remains vulnerable to the harmful effects of certain hazardous agents.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the chemopreventive potential of β-caryophyllene (BCP) in mitigating 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin carcinogenesis, focusing on the modulation of apoptosis and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways.

SERS Detection of Hydrophobic Molecules: Thio-β-Cyclodextrin-Driven Rapid Self-Assembly of Uniform Silver Nanoparticle Monolayers and Analyte Trapping.

High-sensitivity and repeatable detection of hydrophobic molecules through the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique is a tough challenge because of their weak adsorption and non-uniform distribution on SERS substrates. In this research, we present a simple self-assembly protocol for monolayer SERS mediated by 6-deoxy-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD-SH). This protocol allows for the rapid assembly of a compact silver nanoparticle (Ag NP) monolayer at the oil/water interface within 40 s, while entrapping analyte molecules within hotspots.

sp. strain p52, an aerobic dioxin degrader, was capable of utilizing petroleum hydrocarbons as the sole sources of carbon and energy for growth. In the present study, the degradation of the mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons (hexadecane and tetradecane) and aromatic hydrocarbons (phenanthrene and anthracene) by strain p52 was examined.

The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanism of chrysophanol(Chr) in reducing inflammation and foam cell formation induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) and to investigate the targets and pathways related to effects of Chr on coronary atherosclerosis, providing a theoretical basis for the development of new clinical drugs. RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro, and after determining the appropriate concentrations of Chr and ox-LDL for treating RAW264.
