The Trans Golgi Region is a Labile Intracellular Ca2+ Store Sensitive to Emetine
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a bona fide Ca2+ store; however, there is a lack of GA-specific Ca2+ mobilizing agents. Here, we report that emetine specifically releases Ca2+ from GA in HeLa and HL-1 atrial myocytes. Additionally, it has become evident that

Studies on the Stereochemistry of Emetine. III. Absolute Stereochemical Configuration of Emetine
The results of acid catalyzed epimerization of (-)-2'-benzoylemetine, which possesses the same configuration as the original alkaloid, and of reduction of 2'-benzoyl-5, 11b-dehydroemetinium salt, and the presence of trans-quinolizidine bands in infrared spectra of (-)-2'-acylemetines suggested that (-)-emetine should be represented by (Ia) or (IV ...

The susceptibility of pathogenic free-living amebae to chemotherapeutic agents : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
The treatment of infections caused by pathogenic free-living amebae (PFLA) has, until only recently, been far from successful. The continued screening of chemotherapeutic agents against amebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba is therefore of the ...

Memory formation in reversal learning of the honeybee
In reversal learning animals are first trained with a differential learning protocol, where they learn to respond to a reinforced odor (CS+) and not to respond to a nonreinforced odor (CS-).

ACTION OF EMETIN ON MALIGNANT TUMORS [PDF]
While there has been, up to the present time, no experimental confirmation of the theory that malignant tumors are of parasitic origin, there are still some observers, especially among clinicians, who hold the belief that the etiologic factor in neoplasia is a parasite, possibly amebic in origin.

The Cultivation of Endamoeba histolytica and the in-vitro Chemotherapeutic Testing of Amebacides [PDF]
Endamoeba histolytica is the casual organism of the disease, amebiasis. Global distribution of high incidence makes this protozoan infection an enormous public health and economic problem.

Assembly of Protein 4.1 during Chicken Erythroid Differentiation [PDF]
Protein 4.1 is a peripheral membrane protein that strengthens the actin-spectrin based membrane skeleton of the red blood cell and also serves to attach this structure to the plasma membrane. In avian erythrocytes it exists as a family of closely related
