Biochem/physiol Actions

Acridine Yellow G (AYG) is an organic dye with photophysical properties. It is widely used in optics, medicine and photovoltaic cells. AYG has been used as a solar photocatalyst to increase biodegradability and remove ferulic acid, a target pollutant from wastewater. It retards the growth of glioblastoma via dual inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor and protein kinase c kinases.

A flow-injection configuration for the determination of formaldehyde is proposed. The method is based on the enhancing effect of formaldehyde on the oxidation of acridine yellow by bromate in acidic medium. The proposed procedure is simple, inexpensive, sensitive and suitable

Amplification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), frequently expressed as a constitutively active deletion mutant (EGFRvIII), occurs commonly in glioblastoma multiformes (GBM). However, blockade of EGFR is therapeutically disappointing for gliomas with PTEN deletion. To search for small molecules

Conventional spectroscopic tools such as absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy used in the study of photoinduced drug-protein interactions can yield useful information about ground-state and excited-state phenomena. However, photoinduced electron transfer (PET) may be a possible phenomenon in the
