5-Propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) is used to induce and study mechanisms of hypothyroidism at the levels of thyroid hormone biosynthesis and gene regulation.
With high throughput screening, novel therapeutic agents can be efficiently identified. Unfortunately, researchers only resort to in vitro cell viability assays for screening of anticancer drugs for retinoblastoma, the most common intraocular cancer in the childhood. Current available animal models
Vascular regression is essential to remove redundant vessels during the formation of an efficient vascular network that can transport oxygen and nutrient to every corner of the body. However, no mechanism is known to explain how major blood vessels regress
Natural products (NPs) are an attractive source of chemical diversity for small-molecule drug discovery. Several challenges nevertheless persist with respect to NP discovery, including the time and effort required for bioassay-guided isolation of bioactive NPs, and the limited biomedical relevance
Thyroid hormone (TH) is best known for its role in development in animals, and for its control of metabolic heat production (thermogenesis) during cold acclimation in mammals. It is unknown whether the regulatory role of TH in thermogenesis is derived
Food additives & contaminants. Part A, Chemistry, analysis, control, exposure & risk assessment, 33(12), 1793-1802 (2016-10-04)
This paper describes a rapid method for confirming residues of thyreostats in meat-based baby foods by using liquid chromatography - dual polarity electrospray - tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ES(±)-MS/MS). Six thioureylenes, belonging to the group of thiouracil and imidazole, were selected
