However, aberrant regulations of the ERK pathway contribute to cancer and other human diseases. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the role of some ERK pathway effectors such as the connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of Ras1 (CNK1), Ephrin B1, G protein-coupled receptor 19 (GPR19) and SMAD ubiquitination regulatory factor 1 (SMURF1) in breast cancer (BC) diagnosis and metastasis risk prediction. Methods: The study involved 50 (ERPRHer2=6, ERPRHer2=11, ERPRHER2=8, ERPRHer2=25) newly diagnosed BC patients, 15 chemotherapy resistant BC patients, 15 benign breast tumor patients and 10 controls. All total 65 BC patients (including the chemotherapy resistant group) were subdivided into two groups: metastatic BC (17 patients), and nonmetastatic BC group (48 patients). CNK1, Ephrin B1, GPR19 and SMURF1 serum levels were analyzed using ELISA. Results: The study revealed significantly higher serum levels of CNK1, Ephrin B1, GPR19 and SMURF1 in all malignant groups (ERPRHer2, ERPRHer2, ERPRHER2, ERPRHer2), as well as a significant elevation in the chemotherapy resistant BC group as compared to non-resistant group (P < 0.001). They also revealed excellent value for de novo BC diagnosis and metastasis prediction. Conclusion: CNK1, Ephrin B1, GPR19 and SMURF1 may be considered as novel biomarkers for BC diagnosis and prediction of metastasis risk.","PeriodicalId":22429,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83011922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The isolated metal complexes were characterized with their ligands of 3-acetoxime-coumarine by elemental analyses, FT-IR, EI-MS and NMR spectra. The flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, molar conductivity in DMF and magnetic moment measurements were also employed to determine the supposed molecular weights and their geometry. Furthermore the gravimetric thermal analysis (TG-DTA) was estimated for copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes and the observed data form weight loss percents confirmed the suggested chemical formulas and structures of complexes. The results observed from UV-Visible spectra and elemental analyses together with mass spectra confirmed the octahedral geometry around the cobalt(II) and copper(II) ions whereas the diamagnetic complex of nickel(II) was square-planner in [Ni(Phen)(L)]Cl2 formula.

In this work, a panel of twelve functionalized biscoumarins was synthesized in two schematic steps; the first one started by condensing various phenol-based derivatives with malonic acid via a Pechmann-type reaction yielding alkyl-substituted 4-hydroxycoumarins herein symbolized as (E1-E12). The latter compounds were undergone a self-coupling under the influence of methylene iodide to afford the target functionalized biscoumarins, which were symbolized as (EY1-EY12). The potential of the synthesized biscoumarins as anticoagulant applicants was investigated in vivo using rabbit as an animal model. The employed assay was the prothrombin time that was monitored after three and five days of the last oral treatment. The results gathered from this test revealed that the synthesized biscoumarins have a promising anticoagulant activity compared with warfarin as a standard anticoagulant drug, with privileged influence contributed to those substituted at position 7 of the coumarin framework. The authors concluded that the substitution of an alkyl group at that position of the coumarin monomer may intensify the anticoagulant activity of the prepared biscoumarins. Also, this intensity was directly proportionated to the increase in the molecular weight of this alkyl group. Accordingly, the synthesized biscoumarins possessing this property would provide an efficient base for synthesizing new compounds, which have a promising anticoagulant effect.","PeriodicalId":22429,"journal":{"name":"The Egyptian Journal of Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76832358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Iodine-doped Poly (Ethyl Methacrylate) composites have been prepared using casting method. Global TSDC of the composite samples has been investigated using TSDC-TS technique. It is found that, global TSDC spectra of pure PEMA are characterized by two relaxations. The first relaxation which is observed as a shoulder in the temperature range 324-333 K is attributed to the motion of side group and named -relaxation. Whereas, the second relaxation is observed in the glass temperature range of PEMA at Tm= 347 K and named as dipolar relaxation, i.e., -relaxation. On doping with iodine, a new relaxation peak has been obtained at high temperatures ~ 397-409 K, and named as space charge relaxation, i.e., -relaxation. Complex TSDC spectra of PEMA-Iodine composites have been resolved into its elementary peaks using TS technique. These elementary peaks have been used to construct relaxation map (RM) of all samples using Eyring transformation. The existence of compensation phenomenon for all samples is also verified and the coordinates of each compensation point have been estimated. These coordinates are used to calculate the density of disorder (DOD) and thermal expansion coefficient of the samples.
