The possible tumor-promoting and tumor-initiating activities of p-methylcatechol and methylhydroquinone in the pyloric mucosa of male F344 rats were studied. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and replicative DNA synthesis (RDS) were used as markers of tumor promotion and DNA single strand scission

Toluquinol, a methylhydroquinone produced by a marine fungus, was selected in the course of a blind screening for new potential inhibitors of angiogenesis. In the present study we provide the first evidence that toluquinol is a new anti-angiogenic-compound. In a

Catechol and 2-methylhydroquinone (2-MHQ) cause the induction of the thiol-specific stress response and four dioxygenases/glyoxalases in Bacillus subtilis. Using transcription factor arrays, the MarR-type regulator YkvE was identified as a repressor of the dioxygenase/glyoxalase-encoding mhqE gene. Transcriptional and proteome analyses

Various polymeric oxidation products of polyphenols strongly inhibited the purified lipoxygenase of rabbit reticulocytes, whereas the prostaglandin H synthase of sheep vesicular gland was only weakly inhibited. The oxidized polymeric preparations of caffeic acid, 2,5-dihydroxytoluene and 3,4-dihydroxytoluene were the most

Bacillus subtilis is exposed to a variety of antimicrobial compounds in the soil. In this paper, we report on the response of B. subtilis to the fungal-related antimicrobials 6-brom-2-vinyl-chroman-4-on (chromanon) and 2-methylhydroquinone (2-MHQ) using proteome and transcriptome analyses. Chromanon, a
