The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group.

The Limitations of DNA Interstrand Cross-link Repair in Escherichia coli by Jessica Michelle Cole A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biology Thesis Committee: Justin Courcelle, Chair Jeffrey Singer Rahul Raghavan Portland State University 2018 i Abstract DNA interstrand cross-links are a form of genomic damage that cause a block to replication and transcription of DNA in cells and cause lethality if unrepaired. Chemical agents that induce cross-links are particularly effective at inactivating rapidly dividing cells and, because of this, have been used to treat hyperproliferative skin disorders such as psoriasis as well as a variety of cancers. However, evidence for the removal of cross- links from DNA as well as resistance to cross-link-based chemotherapy suggests the existence of a cellular repair mechanism.

  • And Citrus Fruits
    Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture J Sci Food Agric 87:2152–2163 (2007) Analysis of furanocoumarins in vegetables (Apiaceae) and citrus fruits (Rutaceae) Radek Peroutka, Veraˇ Schulzova,´ ∗ Petr Botek and Jana Hajslovˇ a´ Institute of Chemical Technology, Department of Food Chemistry and Analysis, Technicka´ 3, 166 28 Prague 6, Czech Republic Abstract: Several alternative approaches applicable for the analysis of furanocoumarins, toxic components occurring in some fruits and vegetables representing both Apiaceae and Rutaceae families, were tested in our study. Limits of detection (LODs) for angelicin, psoralen, bergapten, xanthotoxin, trioxsalen, isopimpinellin, sphondin, pimpinellin and isobergapten obtained by GC/MS (SIM) were in the range 0.01–0.08 µgg−1.Slightly higher LODs (0.02–0.20 µgg−1) were achieved by LC/MS–MS. The latter is the only alternative for analysis of bergamottin (LOD = 0.01 µgg−1) in citrus fruits because this furanocoumarin is unstable under GC conditions. Regardless of the determination step used, the repeatability of the measurements (expressed as RSD) did not exceed 10%. As shown in our study the levels of furanocoumarins in celery, celeriac, parsnip, carrot, lemon and other foods obtained at a retail market varied over a wide range; the highest contents were determined in parsnip, while the levels of these toxins in carrots and citrus pulps were relatively low. 2007 Society of Chemical Industry Keywords: furanocoumarins; GC/MS; LC/MS–MS; fruits; vegetables INTRODUCTION and fruit of some of these, e.g. figs, representing the Furanocoumarins are toxic secondary metabolites that last family, is also used for human consumption.

  • An Isolated Phytomolecule
    Medical Botany 5: Active compounds in plants- cont. Alkaloids • • Nitrogenous bases which are found in plants and which are commonly found in plants and which can form salts with acids. • They are present as primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary ammonium hydrates. • Alkaloid name is given because of similarity of alkalinity. • It is usually found in plants at 0.1-10%. O In the context of an alkaloid-bearing plant, the term usually means> 0.01% alkaloid. • Alkaloid morphine first isolated from the environment (Derosne and Seguin 1803-1804, Serturner 1805) O First synthesized cone (Ladenburg 1886) O The first used striknin (Magendie 1821) • Plants often have multiple alkaloids in different amounts in similar structures. • An alkaloide can be found in more than one plant family, as well as a single plant species. • Alkaloids are usually found in plants in their own water, in the form of their salts (salts with acids such as malic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, tannic acid, citric acid). • They are found in almost all parts of plants (root, crust, leaf, seed etc.) but in different amounts. This does not mean that an alkaloid will be found in all parts of a plant. Some fruits only fruit (morphine, etc., while there are poppy seeds, not in the seed), Some of them are found in leaves and flowers (not found in the seeds of nicotine tobacco plant). • Nicotine, cones, other than those without oxygen in the constructions are usually white, crystallized dust; The above two substances are liquid. • Alkaloids are almost insoluble in water as free base (atropine, morphine); Some effects of alkaloids • Alkaloids have a wide variety of effects; Some alkaloids for some effects are as follows.

Abstract-Sixty-two strains of Gibberella pulicaris (anamorph: Fusarium sambucinum) from diseased plants and from soil were tested for tolerance of the furanocoumarin xanthotoxin in vitro. Twenty-one (88%) of the plant-derived strains and two (5%) ofthe soil-derived strains were highly tolerant ofxanthotoxin. Sixteen selected strains were tested further against 16 furanocoumarins or furanocoumarin precursors. All plant-derived strains tested were highly tolerant of and, in most cases, able to completely metabolize all 16 compounds. Most soil-derived strains tested were tolerant of furanocoumarin precursors but sensitive to certain furanocoumarins. Linear compounds methoxylated at C-8 appeared more toxic than both those unsubstituted and those with longer-chain ethers. Tolerance of angelicin, xanthotoxin, pimpinellin and isopimpinellin correlated in large part with their metabolism. All strains that were

  • Furocoumarins in Sun Protection and Bronzing Products
    SCCNFP/0765/03 OPINION OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND NON-FOOD PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR CONSUMERS CONCERNING FUROCOUMARINS IN SUN PROTECTION AND BRONZING PRODUCTS adopted by the SCCNFP during the 26th plenary meeting of of 9 December 2003 SCCNFP/0765/03 Evaluation and opinion on Furocoumarins in sun protection and bronzing products ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Terms of Reference 1.1 Context of the question The adaptation to technical progress of the Annexes to Council Directive 76/768/EEC of 27 July 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products. Commission Directive 95/34/DC of 10 July 1995 amended Annex II, reference number 358 as follows: “Furocoumarines (e.g. trioxysalan, 8-methoxypsoralen, 5-methoxypsoralen) except for normal content in natural essences used. In sun protection and in bronzing products, furocoumarines shall be below 1 mg/kg.” The technical adaptation was based on an opinion adopted by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (SCC) in 1990. Furocoumarines are recognized to photomutagenic and photocarcinogenic. The SCC had not been able to conclude from the available scientific, technical and epidemiological data at that time that the association of protective filters with furocoumarines would guarantee the safety of sun protection and bronzing products containing furocoumarines above a minimum level. Therefore, in order to protect public health, furocoumarines were limited to less than 1 mg/kg (1 ppm) in these products. The European Commission received in July 2003 a letter from Jean-Jacques Goupil indicating that new documents on the safety and efficacy of sun protection and bronzing products with an efficient dose of 15 to 60 ppm 5-methoxypsoralen had been transmitted to Health and Consumer Protection DG.

  • Interstrand Crosslinks -Induction and Repair
    Interstrand Crosslinks -Induction and repair Interstrand Crosslinks -Induction and repair Daniel Vare ©Daniel Vare, Stockholm 2012 ISBN 978-91-7447-546-3 (pages 1-90) Printed in Sweden by Universitetsservice US-AB, Stockholm 2012 Distributor: Department of Genetics, Microbiology and Toxicology The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I've found it!), but 'That's fun- ny...' -Isaac Asimov Abstract DNA crosslinking agents exhibit a variety of DNA lesions, such as monoad- ducts, DNA-DNA interstrand or intrastrand crosslinks or DNA-protein cross- links. Agents that produce interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) exist naturally and are widely used in chemotherapy. Therefore, it is important to understand how the lesions induced by these agents are repaired. In bacteria, the repair is mainly dependent on nucleotide excision repair (NER) together with homol- ogous recombination (HR) or translesion synthesis (TLS). In human cells, it is not clear how these lesions are repaired, and it is believed to be a more complicated process in which NER does not play as important a role as in prokaryotes. Here, we investigated the repair mechanisms mainly after treat- ment with psoralen but also with acetaldehyde, cisplatin and mitomycin C in some studies. As expected from studies on plasmids and in bacteria, we used new techniques to confirm that various ICL-inducing agents block replication fork elongation in mammalian cells. We also found that the replication fork was unable to bypass these lesions. We confirmed that ERCC1/XPF and the HR proteins BRCA2 and XRCC2/3 are vital for protection against ICL treatments.
