Sphingolipid derivatives cause diverse effects towards the regulation of intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)](i)) in a multitude of nonexcitable cells. In the present investigation, the effect of C-8 ceramide-1-(2-cyanoethyl) phosphate (C1CP) on store-operated Ca(2+) (SOC) entry was investigated. C1CP evoked

The mutagenicity of acrylonitrile (ACN) was tested with Salmonella typhimurium TA1530 after a preincubation period of the chemical with a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction in liquid medium. Several pretreatments were applied to the animals before the preparation of the liver

Urines collected from rats injected with acrylonitrile (ACN) were mutagenic towards Salmonella typhimurium TA1530; this activity was reduced when the animals were pretreated by pyrazole (inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase) and suppressed after pretreatment either by CoCl2 and SKF 525-A (inhibitors

Chimeric oligonucleotides containing phosphodiester and phosphorothioate linkages have been obtained using the solid phase synthesis. The oligonucleotide parts possessing natural internucleotide phosphate bonds were assembled using commercially available nucleoside 3'-O-(2-cyanoethyl-N,N-diisopropylamino)phosphoramidites 7 whereas the phosphorothioate segment was built using nucleoside 3'-O-(2-thio-1,3,2-oxathiaphospholanes)
