Maitotoxin time–resolved absorption and resonance FT–IR and raman biospectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) investigation of vibronic–mode coupling structure in vibrational spectra analysis: a spectroscopic study on an anti–gum cancer drug

Abstract

Gum cancers are cancers that arise from the gum. They are due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. There are three main types of gum cancers: basal-cell gum cancer (BCC), squamous-cell gum cancer (SCC) and melanoma. Batrachotoxin (BTX) is an anti-gum cancer extremely potent cardiotoxic and neurotoxic steroidal alkaloid found in certain species of beetles, birds, and frogs. Batrachotoxin was derived from the Greek word βάτραχος bátrachos "frog". StructurallyAbstract
