A novel poly(4-vinylpyridine) supported acidic ionic liquid catalyst was synthesized by the reaction of 4-vinylpyridine with 1,3-propanesultone, followed by the polymerization and the addition of the heteropolyacid. Due to the combination of polymer features and ionic liquid, it acted as
Micronuclei (MN) are routinely enumerated in mouse peripheral blood to index genotoxicity. Recent data from the Collaborative Study Group for the Micronucleus Test (CSGMT) [CSGMT (The Collaborative Study Group for the Micronucleus Test), Evaluation of the rat micronucleus test with
Environmental and molecular mutagenesis, 52(9), 748-755 (2011-11-05)
An international collaborative trial was established to systematically investigate the merits and limitations of a rat in vivo Pig-a gene mutation assay. The product of this gene is essential for anchoring CD59 to the plasma membrane, and mutations in this
A novel nanocontainer, which could regulate the release of payloads, has been successfully fabricated by attaching zwitterionic sulfobetaine copolymer onto the mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). RAFT polymerization is employed to prepare the hybrid poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)-coated MSNs (MSN-PDMAEMA). Subsequently, the tertiary
1,3-Propane sultone is directly alkylating, genotoxic and carcinogenic. In rats, it induces local and systemic tumours at multiple target sites. Preponderant systemic tumours occur at the central nervous system, especially gliomas. Other localisations include the mammary gland, the intestine, the
