    Notes: Summary Since the mitogenic action of EGF is mediated by ligand-induced autophosphorylation of the EGF receptor (EGFR), and EGFR is commonly overexpressed in solid human tumours, inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinase activity (RTK) could prove to be effective antitumour agents. Screening of a compound library using an EGF-RTK enzyme prepared from human tumour derived A431 cells identified a series of potent (IC50〈1µM) enzyme inhibitors. These inhibitors are quinazolines bearing a variety of substituted anilines at the 4-position. The most potent 4-anilinoquinazolines (IC50 ≅ 20nM) have small non-polar meta substituents on the aniline ring, and are competitive with ATP and non-competitive with substrate. The growth inhibitory activity of these agents was assessed in vitro using KB cells (human oral squamous tumour) grown in the absence or presence of EGF. A selected compound, 4-(3-chloroanilino)quinazoline (CAQ), inhibited EGF-stimulated growth in a concentration dependent manner and complete blockade was observed at concentrations (1–10 µM) which had no effect on basal growth. Selectivity of growth inhibition by CAQ was further exemplified in IGF1-stimulated KB cells where no effect was detected at concentrations which completely blocked EGF-stimulated growth. Similarly, CAQ blocked TGFα-stimulated growth in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells without affecting insulin-stimulated growth. These studies define a novel class of EGF-RTK inhibitors which are also potent and selective inhibitors of EGF-stimulated human tumour cell growthin vitro.

    Notes: A gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of five synthetic pyrethroid insecticides in soil, moss and fish tissue. These pyrethroids were extracted with hexane-dichloromethane by ultrasonication and cleaned up on Florisil (soil and moss) and mixed acid/base alumina (fish) columns prior to determination by gas chromatography/negative-ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring mode. All the pyrethroids were analyzed simultaneously in a single run on a DB5-MS 15 m capillary column. Recoveries of the pyrethroids from the three matrices at fortification levels of 10, 50 and 100 μg/kg ranged from 80 to 117%. Four determinations were made at each concentration level for each matrix. The practical determination limit of the method was in the range 0.5 to 5 μg/kg depending on the compound. This method was also applied to samples obtained from a contaminated ecosystem.

    Notes: The light-induced degradation of aqueous hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC; D.S. 1.9) solutions has been investigated under a variety of conditions. The HPMC was sensitized to short-wavelength radiation (〈500 nm) by the addition of sodium nitrite, the degradation being accompanied by increased acidity and the generation of oxides of nitrogen. Addition of eosin dye increased the sensitivity to visible light (〉500 nm), and the effect was considerably more pronounced when strong electron donors were added. Analysis of the shear-viscosity relationship of the solutions, during the degradation, indicated that both chain disentanglement and chain scission occurred but that the primary process was the depolymerization of the cellulose chain. It is proposed that both the dye- and nitrite-induced depolymerizations are a consequence of peroxide attack on the β-glucosidic ether link. The results indicate that, in the case of sodium nitrite addition, the peroxide was generated by the aqueous photolytic decomposition of the nitrite ion. The peroxide formation in the eosin - TEA system was a consequence of leuco-dye production, under the influence of the light, followed by the reduction of traces of dissolved oxygen by this activated dye.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die elektroinitiierte Polymerisation von N-Vinylcarbazol (VCZ) wurde in Aceton bei 25°C mit Zinkbromid als Katalysator unter Verwendung von Platinelektroden eingehend untersucht. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit erwies sich als direkt abhängig von der Stromstärke, der Zinkbromid-Konzentration und dem anfänglichen Wassergehalt des Solvens.Die Molekulargewichte der entstandenen Polymeren (1000-6000) sind unabhängig von der Stromstärke, der Zinkbromid-Konzentration und dem Umsetzungsgrad des Monomeren zum Polymeren, werden jedoch beeinflußt durch Wasser, die Monomerkonzentration und das Elektrodenmaterial. Die chemische Zusammensetzung der Polymeren ändert sich nicht mit der Stromstärke, der Zinkbromid-Konzentration, dem Umsetzungsgrad und dem Elektrodenmaterial. Sie ändert sich jedoch ein wenig mit dem Wassergehalt des Acetons.
    Notes: The electroinitiated polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole (VCZ) in acetone solvent at 25°C with zinc bromide, as catalyst, and platinum electrodes was investigated in detail. The polymerization rate was found to be directly dependent on current strength, zinc bromide concentration and the initial water content of the solvent.The molecular weights of the formed polymers (1000-6000) are independent of current strength, zinc bromide concentration and degree of conversion of monomer to polymer, but are affected by water, monomer concentration, and by the type of electrodes used. The chemical composition of the polymer is invariant with current strength, zinc bromide concentration, degree of conversion, and electrode material but does vary slightly with the water content of acetone.

    Notes: Campoletis sonorensis calyx fluid arrests the development of last-instar Heliothis virescens larvae and is associated with the gross degeneration of the host's prothoracic glands. Through manipulations of ovary supernatant, Campoletis sonorensis polydnavirus (CsV) was found to be the only component of calyx fluid responsible for causing host developmental arrest. Venom from C. sonorensis had no effect on host development. Suspensions of CsV were quantified, and various doses were injected into last-instar hosts. The percentage of larvae developmentally arrested was dose dependent. In addition, larvae not arrested by injection with CsV suspensions were developmentally delayed in a dose-dependent manner. Hosts were delayed in the stage in which they were injected and, after recovery, developed at normal rates. Measurements by radioimmunoassay indicated that developmental delay was due to a suppression of ecdysteroid titers. After a dose-dependent period of suppression, hemolymph ecdysteroid titers recovered and reached titers comparable to those observed in saline-injected controls. Examination of prothoracic glands from developmentally delayed larvae revealed that partial degeneration occurred. Comparisons of the number and mean size of surviving gland cells and the length of developmental delay suggested that surviving gland cells may compensate for degenerated cells by increasing their ecdysone production.
