Antitumor polycyclic acridines. 7. Synthesis and biological properties of DNA affinic tetra- and pentacyclic acridines by Stanslas, Johnson, Hagan, Damien J., Ellis, Michael J., Turner, Claire, Carmichael, James, Ward, Wynne, Hammonds, Timothy R., Stevens, Malcolm F. G.

“…The novel water-soluble agent dihydroindolizino[7,6,5-kl]acridinium chloride 14 has inhibitory activity in a panel of non-small-cell lung and breast tumor cell lines exceeding that of m-AMSA. The salt inhibited the release of minicircle products of kDNA confirming that disorganization of topoisomerase II partly underlies the activity of the compound. …”

Cellular reporter for inflammation. by Yuhanis Abdullah Sunny.

“…Currently, there are commercial green fluorescent protein (GFP) assays available for in vitro cell lines only. There are no in vivo systems that can report NF-B activation in hematopoietic stem cells. …”

Laser surface treatment of 50CrMo4 steel by Chew, Han Xin

“…The speed of laser is significance in affecting the width and depth of the laser treated lines. When the speed is too high, the change is not visible, thus, the hardness test cannot be done on the cross section area.…”

Database and Application Programming Interface Development for Rotational Spectroscopy by Cheung, Jasmine So Yee

“…A database of spectroscopic data serves as the foundation of the automation pipeline for assigning spectral lines to species. While there are existing databases available for use, we developed our custom database, named SAAGAdb, and an application programming interface (API) to access the database to fulfill the needs of SAAGA. …”

Cytotoxic triosmium carbonyl clusters : a structure-activity relationship study by Top, Siden, Vessières, Anne, Leong, Weng Kee, Lee, Shirley Hui Zhi

“…In vitro evaluation of these new compounds showed that some are selectively active against estrogen receptor (ER)-independent MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines relative to ER-dependent MCF-7 breast cancer cells, suggesting that the compounds have a different biological target specific to MDA-MB-231 cells. …”
