Abstract
We specifically investigated the influence of PRIMA-1 on cellular localization of mutated p53-R280K endogenously expressed in tumour cells. By using immunofluorescence staining, we found a strong nucleolar redistribution of mutant p53 following PRIMA-1 treatment. This subcellular localization was as...

Abstract
Treatment of implant-related chronic osteomyelitis is often difficult and usually consists of implant removal, extensive surgical debridement, and prolonged antibiotic use. This study was performed to assess the efficacy of moxifloxacin compared to a glycopeptide, teicoplanin in chronic implant-rela...

Abstract
An efficient methodology taking advantage of the excellent nucleophilicity of aminoquinone to assemble the azaanthraquinone framework was developed via an iodine-induced 6-endo-dig electrophilic cyclization. Therefore, starting from N-propargylaminoquinones, various 3-iodo-1-azaanthraquinones were o...
