Antitumor ether lipid 1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (ET-18-OCH(3); edelfosine) induces apoptosis in cancer cells, sparing normal cells. We have found that the apoptotic action of ET-18-OCH(3) required drug uptake and Fas in the target cell. Failure to accomplish one of these

Daphnane-type diterpene gnidimacrin isolated from the Chinese plant Stellera chamaejasme L. is an antitumor agent that activates protein kinase C (PKC). The mechanism of antitumor action of gnidimacrin and the possible involvement of PKC were examined using sensitive K562 and refractory HLE cells. G
Liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-energy collision-induced dissociation were used to analyze a dirhamnosyl lipid mixture. The negative fast-atom bombardment spectrum reveals a mixture of four homologous dirhamnosyl lipids with the following general structure: Rha-Rha-Cn-Cm (where Cn an
## Abstract The present study investigated the effect of temperature and lipid/peptide molar ratio on the conformational changes of the membrane peptide gramicidin A from a double‐stranded helix to a single‐stranded helical dimmer in 1,2‐dimyristoyl‐glycerol‐3‐phosphochloine (DMPC) vesicles. Trypto
The antioxidative effect of ganhuangenin (GHG), isolated from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, was examined by measuring its ability to suppress the formation of phospatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH). The results show that a pretreatment with GHG effectively suppressed PCOOH formation, which was i
