ABSTRACT
Quinone antitumour agents with wide spectrum of activity have been extensively used in different forms of human cancers. Quinones have been isolated either from animals, microorganisms or plants. Extensive research on quinone compounds is going on to discover novel effective antitumour compound. We also discussed the mechanism of action, which have not been fully clarified. In this review we cover all the above-mentioned aspects to emphasize the importance of quinone moiety as antitumour agents.
ABSTRACT
In present study the effects of chlorpromazine (CPZ) were studied on NA, DA and its metabolities i.e. DOPAC and HVA as well as on 5-HT and its metabolite 5-HIAA in normal and hyperglycemic rats. Significant differences were noted in brain biogenic amines of normal and diabetic control animals. In case of CPZ treated normal and hyperglycemic rats significant differences were observed only in case DOPAC and 5-HIAA. NA and 5-HIAA levels were significantly affected by CPZ and diabetes interaction.
