The influence of age of experimental animals on the antileukemic activity, toxicity and distribution of ambazone, a new potential antineoplastic agent, was studied in 2- and 12-month-old B6D2F1 mice. The predominant effect observed was a significant reduction of the antileukemic action of this compound in old-aged mice. Together with a slight increase in several toxicity parameters this caused a marked reduction of the therapeutic index in 12-month-old mice compared to younger individuals. Furthermore, a general tendency to increased ambazone levels in liver, kidneys and thymus of old-aged mice was observed. Our data therefore provide further evidence that age has to be taken into consideration as one factor that may account for the variety of drug response frequently observed during clinical therapy with anticancer agents.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 infection is marked by an excessive inflammatory response, leading to elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through activation of intracellular pathways like mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Viruses can use the MAPK signaling pathway to their advantage, but the relationship of this pathway to the severe SARS-CoV-2 period has not been fully elucidated. MAP2K4 is involved in the MAPK signaling pathway and affects cellular processes such as cell-cell junction, cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.

Unlabelled: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often co-occur. Developmental stages significantly influence the variations in brain alterations. However, whether ASD comorbid with ADHD (ASD + ADHD) represents a unique neural characteristic from ASD without comorbid ADHD (ASD-alone), or instead manifests a shared neural correlate associated with ASD across diverse age cohorts remain unclear.
