EFFECTS OF THE AURORA KINASE INHIBITORS AZD1152-HQPA AND ZM447439 ON GROWTH ARREST AND POLYPLOIDY IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA CELL LINES AND PRIMARY BLASTS

Effects of the aurora kinase inhibitors AZD1152-HQPA and ZM447439 on growth arrest and polyploidy in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary blasts

Background Aurora kinases play an essential role in the orchestration of chromosome separation and cytokinesis during mitosis.Small-molecule inhibition of the aurora kinases has been shown to result in inhibition of cell division, phosphorylation of histone H3 and the induction of apoptosis in a number of cell systems.These characteristics have led

Characterization and process development for the selective removal of Sn, Sb, and As from anode slime obtained from electrolytic copper refining

The aim of this work was to develop a process for the removal of Sn, Sb and As from anode slime out of Shaft copper refinery to disburden a subsequent pyrometallurgical processing for precious metals refinement.For this reason, a detailed literature survey was conducted, followed by a characterization to find the present compounds/alloys and their
