Cyfluthrin is a synthetic cyano-containing pyrethroid insecticide that has both contact and stomach poison action. It is a nonsysternic chemical used to control cutworms, ants, silverfish, cockroaches, mosquitoes, tobacco budworm and many others. Its primary agricultural uses have been for control of chewing and sucking insects on crops such as cotton, turf, ornamentals, hops, cereal, corn, deciduous fruit, peanuts, potatoes, and other vegetables. Cyfluthrin is also used in public health situations and for structural pest control. The structural, vibrational, electronic and QSAR properties of the cyfluthrin molecule in gas phase have been investigated theoretically by performing molecular mechanics method by using MM+ force field, and semi-empirical molecular orbital AM1 and PM3 calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized, infrared spectrum (vibrational modes and intensities) and the electronic properties of the Molecule have been calculated in its ground state. Acording to PM3 calculation, heat of formation of cyfluthrin molecule is about -48.58 kcal/mol (exothermic), which shows that this molecule thermodynamically be stable. The HOMO energy level for this molecule is found to be -9.701 eV and the LUMO energy level is -0.660 eV giving rise to a gap of 9.041 eV, which also indicates that cyfluthrin is thermodynamically stable.

Structural and functional effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs rofecoxib and valdecoxib on DSPC model membranes Rachkauska, Richardas; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2014) Celecoxib (CLX), rofecoxib (RFX) and valdecoxib (VLX) belong to a family of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are selective COX-2 inhibitors. While these drugs are established analgesics, they also have a number of pleiotropic effects such as cancer chemoprevention, occasionally in a COX-2 independent manner. RFX and VLX were withdrawn from the market after clinical trials indicated that use of these drugs enhanced the risk of heart attack and stroke. CLX is currently FDA approved for pa...
Development of a pcr-based specific method for the detection of aspergillus fumigatus by random cdna cloning Söyler, Alper; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Department of Food Engineering (2004) Aspergillus fumigatus is a foodborne and airborne human pathogen which produces mycotoxins such as gliotoxin, helvolic acid, fumigallin, and fumigaclavin. The most common disease caused by A. fumigatus is aspergillosis, which is often fatal, especially among AIDS, cancer, and organ-transplant patients. In this study, random cDNA cloning was performed from a cDNA library of A. fumigatus (IMI 385708) constructed on ? ZAP Express. Some of these clones were selected according to their insert sizes and were furt...
C-4 ' Truncated carbocyclic formycin derivatives Zhou, Jian; Yang, Minmin; Akdağ, Akın; Schneller, Stewart W. (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01) Formycin is a naturally occurring C-glycoside (C-nucleoside) that possesses antitumor, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity. In connection with our ongoing interest in the design and syntheses of C-nucleoside derived antiviral agents this report describes the preparation of carbocyclic formycin and its 7-hydroxy (oxo) analog lacking the C-4' hydroxylmethylene moiety in racemic form (4 and 6, respectively). An antiviral analysis of (+/-)-4 did not disclose any activity.
Investigation of the Ligand Binding Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus NorA Efflux Pump Işık , Esra Büşra; Serçinoğlu, Onur (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive bacterial pathogen which is highly adaptive to environmental conditions and causes various disorders. Excessive usage of antibiotics may result in development of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus. One of the resistance mechanisms is increase in the activity of transmembrane multi-drug efflux pumps. NorA is the most studied efflux pump in S. aureus, which belongs to Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS). NorA has been shown to contribute to resistance against a variety...
Structural Insights into Alternate Aggregated Prion Protein Forms POLANO, maurizio; Bek, Alpan; BENETTİ, federico; lazzarino, marco; LEGNAME, giuseppe (Elsevier BV, 2009-11-13) The conversion of the cellular form of the prion protein (PrPC) to an abnormal, alternatively folded isoform (PrPSc) is the central event in prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Recent studies have demonstrated de novo generation of murine prions from recombinant prion protein (recPrP) after inoculation into transgenic and wild-type mice. These so-called synthetic prions lead to novel prion diseases with unique neuropathological and biochemical features. Moreover, the use of recPrP i...
