Bengal, Methylene Blue, haematoporphyrin and tetraphenylporphyrin and, generally, in organic solvents. Some examples are illustrated in Scheme 4.15. Peroxide products obtained from fatty acid precursors [61] or from cyclopenta-dienes [62] are of interest as pharmaceuticals or for biomedical studies others are versatile starting materials for further transformation. 

Each volume will be thematic, dealing with a specific and related subject that will cover fundamental, basic aspects including synthesis, isolation, purification, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, reactions involving mechanisms, intra- and intermolecular transformations, intra- and intermolecular rearrangements, applications as medicinal agents, biological and biomedical studies, pharmacological aspects, applications in material science, and industrial and structural applications. 

The work by Kramer and eoworkers [23] eonstitutes a representative example of benefits issuing from the use of PLC in biomedical studies. In experiments using newborn pig and infant plasma, the researchers succeeded in isolating a new sphin-golipid — a 3-O-acyl-D-erytAro-sphingomyehn (Figure 9.7).

The benzyl-substituted titanocene 3, which showed a significant higher cytotoxicity when tested in vitro against LLC-PK, was evaluated in a series of biomedical studies as well. Watson et al. tested titanocene 3 in comparison to two aryl-substituted tf .va-titanocenes on prostate cancer cells, as advanced prostate cancer is not curable up to now [37]. Therefore, it was shown that all three titanocenes induced more apoptosis (programmed cell death, in contrast to necrosis) compared with cisplatin in a dose-dependent manner. Titanocene 3 had the most significant effect on the cell cycle and apoptosis. 

The properties of organic astatine compounds applicable for biomedical studies have been investigated with special emphasis on the stability of the C—At bond under changing temperature and pH conditions, in the presence of oxidizing or reducing agents as well as—in some cases—in vivo. 

CLA isomers are functional food components when their search for mutagens in cooked meat instead identified CLA as an antimutagen (see Pariza, 1999). As a result of this discovery, research on CLA has increased exponentially over the last decade and a number of potential health benefits of CLA have been reported. The anticarcinogenic activity of CLA has been established clearly, but biomedical studies with animal models have identified an impressive range of additional positive health effects for CLA as summarized in Chapter 17. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that CLA is a potent anticarcinogen when supplied as a natural food component in the form of CLA-enriched butter as discussed later in this review.

Noncovalent interaction of dyes and related compormds with various biomacromolecules attracts considerable attention due to the possibility of proceeding of a variety of photochemical processes in vivo [1]. It makes possible to use dyes both in biomedical studies as DNA labels and in clinical practice [2], Complex formation of cyanine dyes with doublehelical DNA is of great interest due to rmique photophysical and photochemical properties of these dyes, which change dramatically in the presence of DNA [1, 3, 4], There are two main types of dye-DNA bonding complexes of dyes intercalated between DNA base pairs and complexes in which dye molecules are located in the minor groove of the double helix of the biopolymer (superficial bonding) [5],...
