We screened a library of 11,000 small molecular weight chemicals, looking for compounds that affect cell viability. We have identified 2-amino-N-quinoline-8-yl-benzenesulfonamide (QBS) as a potent cytotoxic compound that induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Treatment of Jurkat T cells with
Saponins are known for their bioactive and surfactant properties, showing applicability to the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This work evaluated the saponins effects on Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase activity and correlated these changes to the protein structure. Enzyme kinetic was

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second cause of cancer related death in North American men. Androgens play an important role in its progression by regulating the expression of several genes including fusion ones that results from structural chromosome rearrangements. TMPRSS2-ERG is a
Background: Breast and prostate cancer are frequently diagnosed neoplasias in women and men around the world. The signaling of the androgen receptor (AR) influences the development of both tumors. Since therapies focused to block the receptor's activity have not been
We report on the fabrication of an organic thin-film semiconductor formed using a blend solution of soluble ambipolar small molecules and an insulating polymer binder that exhibits vertical phase separation and uniform film formation. The semiconductor thin films are produced
