    Notes: Summary Doxorubicin-resistant Friend erythroleukemia cells, line F4–6 ADM2R, were selected by exposure of wild-type F4-6 cells to doxorubicin concentrations of up to 1 μg/ml. In these cells, increased expression of multidrug resistance (MDR) genes was demonstrated by Northern blot analysis. The growth-inhibitory effect of doxorubicin, daunorubicin,N,N-dimethyldoxorubicin,N,N-dimethyldaunorubicin, morpholinodoxorubicin, and pyrromycin was comparatively investigated in resistant and wild-type cells. The doxorubicin-resistant F4-6 cells showed approx. 200-fold resistance to doxorubicin and about 100-fold resistance to daunorubicin with respect to the drug-sensitive counterpart. A dramatic decrease in resistance was observed for theN,N-dimethylated derivatives of doxorubicin and daunorubicin as well as for theN,N-dimethylated natural anthracycline pyrromycin and for morpholinodoxorubicin. Uptake studies using [14C]-daunorubicin and [14C]-N,N-dimethyldaunorubicin in resistant F4-6 cells showed a decreased accumulation of daunorubicin but no significant reduction inN,N-dimethyldaunorubicin accumulation as compared with the wild-type cells. Treatment with verapamil led to increased intracellular levels of daunorubicin in resistant cells, whereas an excess ofN,N-dimethyldaunorubicin did not have this effect. Thus, the decreased resistance of the doxorubicin-resistant F4-6 cells to theN-alkylated anthracyclines may at least in part be due to a reduced affinity of these compounds for the efflux pump. The results indicate that the dimethylation of the amino group of the anthracycline sugar moiety and its incorporation within a morpholinyl ring may overcome MDR by similar mechanisms.

    Notes: Abstract Cytochrome b 6 f complexes, prepared from spinach and Chlamydomonas thylakoids, have been examined for their content of low molecular weight subunits. The spinach complex contains two prominent low molecular weight subunits of 3.7 and 4.1 kD while a single prominent component of 4.5 kD was present in the Chlamydomonas complex. An estimation of the relative stoichiometry of these subunits suggests several are present at levels approximating one copy per cytochrome complex. The low molecular weight subunits were purified by reversed phase HPLC and N-terminal sequences obtained. Both the spinach and Chlamydomonas cytochrome complexes contain a subunit that is identified as the previously characterized petG gene product (4.8 kD in spinach and 4.1 kD in Chlamydomonas). A second subunit (3.8 kD in spinach and 3.7 kD in Chlamydomonas) appears to be homologous in the two complexes and is likely to be a nuclear gene product. The possible presence of other low molecular weight subunits in these complexes is also considered.

    Notes: Model-aided measurement in chemical reactors. Some reaction-specific variables of chemical reactors can be determined only with difficulty, sometime only with analytical measurements which are corrupted by time lags. In contrast, the approach tries to determine these variables indirectly and without time delay from easily measured variables like temperatures, pressures, flows. These sensor signals are processed together with reactor models to provide the characteristic reaction variables. This contribution discusses the applications of model-based measuring techniques to chemical reactors. The systems are applied to operator assistence, process diagnosis, and reactor control. Their operation is submitted to a critical appraisal.
