In humans, cytochrome P450 1A2 is the major enzyme metabolizing environmental arylamines or heterocyclic amines into carcinogens. Since evidence shows that planar triangle-shaped molecules are capable of selectively inhibiting 1A2, 16 triangular flavone, and coumarin derivatives were designed synthesized for these studies. Among compounds, 7,8-furanoflavone time-dependently inhibits with a KI value 0.44 μM. With 5 min preincubation in presence NADPH, 0.01 μM completely inactivates but does...

The flavone backbone is a well-known pharmacophore present in number of substrates and inhibitors various P450 enzymes. In order to find highly potent novel family I enzyme inhibitors, an acetylene group was incorporated into six different positions flavone. introduction at certain locations the lead time-dependent 1A1. 3'-Ethynylflavone, 4'-ethynylflavone, 6-ethynylflavone, 7-ethynylflavone (KI values 0.035-0.056 μM) show strong inhibition 1A1, while 5-ethynylflavone value 0.51 moderate...

Soil erosion studies around houses in four communities Ghana were carried out from August to November, 2010. Thirty selected each of the for study. Measurements slope and depth exposed foundation done with help a string tape measure. Data also obtained through questionnaire interview house owners. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used measure some relationships among data. In selection site building house, higher percentage owners considered no factor. major cleaning activity...
