Role of CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 in the In VitroN-Dechloroethylation of (R)-and (S)-Ifosfamide in Human Liver Microsomes

CP Granvil, A Madan, M Sharkawi, A Parkinson… - Drug Metabolism and …, 1999 - ASPET
The central nervous system toxicity of ifosfamide (IFF), a chiral antineoplastic agent, is thought
to be dependent on itsN-dechloroethylation by hepatic cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes. …

Synthetic polarization maps of an outflow zone from magnetohydrodynamic simulations

…, MN Machida, A Tritsis, M Sharkawi… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The canonical theory of star formation in a magnetized environment predicts the formation of
hourglass-shaped magnetic fields during the prestellar collapse phase. In protostellar cores…

In vivo inhibition of liver alcohol dehydrogenase by ethanol administration

M Sharkawi - Life sciences, 1984 - Elsevier
The activity of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) from rats sacrificed two hours after the
administration of ethanol 3, 4 or 5 g/kg intraperitoneally was significantly inhibited compared …

Inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase by dimethyl formamide and dimethyl sulfoxide

M Sharkawi - Toxicology Letters, 1979 - Elsevier
Dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) inhibit mouse liver alcohol
dehydrogenase (LADH) in vitro. The inhibition is “uncompetitive” with both DMF and DMSO, …

The Magnetic Field of Protostar-Disk-Outflow Systems

M Sharkawi - 2023 - search.proquest.com
Recent observations of protostellar cores reveal complex magnetic field configurations that
are distorted in the innermost disk region. Unlike the prestellar phase, where the magnetic …

Relationship between acetylcholine synthesis and its concentration in rat cerebral cortex

M Sharkawi, MP Schulman - British Journal of Pharmacology, 1969 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The synthesis of carbon-14 labelled acetylcholine (14 C-ACh) from carbon-14 uniformly
labelled glucose (UL 14 C-glucose) under different conditions has been studied.

Inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase by disulfiram; possible relation to the disulfiram-ethanol reaction

M Sharkawi - Life Sciences, 1980 - Elsevier
Disulfiram inhibited mouse and rat liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) in vitro . Inhibition of
LADH by disulfiram appears to be non-competitive. The inhibition constants (Ki) were about …

Effects of caffeine and cyclic adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate on adenosine triphosphate-dependent calcium uptake by lysed brain synaptosomes

K Mekhail-Ishak, PA Lavoie, M Sharkawi - Brain research, 1987 - Elsevier
The adenosine triphosphate-dependent calcium uptake by endoplasmic reticulum elements
of lysed synaptosomes from rat brain cortex was studied. Caffeine exhibited a biphasic …

Antagonism by physostigmine of the “running fit” caused by levorphanol, a morphine congener, in mice

M Sharkawi, A Goldstein - British Journal of Pharmacology, 1969 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Methods Male Swiss-Webster mice (20-30 g) were placed, in groups of three, in rectangular
cages (13 x 28 cm, 13 cm high) with wire-screen floors. The running activity was measured …

Pharmacological and metabolic interactions between ethanol and methyl n-butyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, or acetone in mice

J Cunningham, M Sharkawi, GL Plaa - Fundamental and Applied …, 1989 - Elsevier
Methyl n-butyl ketone (MnBK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and
acetone are widely used industrial solvents to which certain groups of workers are exposed…
