Abstract

The term « cancer» comes from the Greek karkinos meaning crab. It is any disease that is characterized by rapid multiplication and anarchie of abnormal cells, from any tissue of the body. ln 2006 and in Belgium, a total of 29 708 patients died of cancer, making this disease the second leading cause of death.
The chemotherapy is cytotoxic therapy that aims to destroy cancer cells by blocking their division. It began with the discovery of leucopenic properties of mustard gas in the 1940s. The chlormethine, a bio-isoteric derivate of mustard gas, was the first alkylating agent to enter the scene. Subsequently, other structural analogues (aromatic mustards, oxazophorines) were synthesized in the hope of limiting side effects (hematological toxicity, nausea and vomiting, alopecia ... ) associated with the concomitant damage to healthy tissue and promote oral use.
The target of alkylating agents is the DNA double helix. They form covalent bonds with the nucleic bases. This alkylation reaction, equivalent to a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (chlormethine) or unimolecular (chlorambucil), replaces a hydrogen atom by an alkyl group. The preferred site of alkylation is the nitrogen N7 of guanine. The most effective alkylating agents are those who possess two reactive sites because they do two covalent bonds with two guanine bases in an intra or intercatenar way. Structural changes created then block the replication of DNA and his transcription into RNA. This barrier causes cell death.
The alkylating agents are, at present, still very widely used. The development of nanovectors loaded in anticancer agent offers new hope in cancer treatment by favoring the transport of the antitumor agent at the precise spot where it will be useful. Le terme « cancer» vient du grec karkinos qui signifie crabe. Il s'agit de toute maladie qui se caractérise par une multiplication rapide et anarchique de cellules anormales, à partir d'un tissu quelconque de l'organisme. En 2006 et en Belgique, un total de 29 708 de patients sont morts d'un cancer, faisant de cette maladie la deuxième cause de décès.
La chimiothérapie anticancéreuse est un traitement cytotoxique qui vise à détruire les cellules cancéreuses en bloquant leur division. Elle a débuté avec la mise en évidence des propriétés leucopéniantes du gaz moutarde dans les années 1940. La chlorméthine, dérivé bio-isostérique du gaz moutarde, fut le tout premier agent alkylant à entrer en scène. Par la suite, d'autres analogues structuraux (moutardes aromatiques, oxazophorines) ont été synthétisés dans l'espoir de limiter les effets secondaires (toxicité hématologique, nausées et vomissements, alopécie ... ) liés à l'atteinte concomitante des tissus sains et de favoriser un usage par voie orale.
Les agents alkylants cible la chaine d'ADN. Ils se fixent sur les bases azotées par formation d'un lien covalent. Cette réaction d'alkylation, assimilée à une réaction de substitution nucléophile biomoléculaire (chlorméthine) ou unimoléculaire (chlorambucil), remplace un atome d'hydrogène par un groupement alkyle. Le site privilégié de l'alkylation est l'atome d'azote N7 de la guanine. Les agents alkylants les plus efficaces sont ceux qui possèdent deux sites réactifs car ils réalisent deux liaisons covalentes avec deux bases guanines defaçonintra ou intercaténaire. Les modifications structurales ainsi crées bloquent la réplication de l'ADN et sa transcription en ARN. Cet obstacle entraine la mort cellulaire.
Les agents alkylants sont, à l'heure actuelle, encore très largement utilisés. Le développement de nanovecteurs chargés en agent anticancéreux offre de nouveaux espoirs dans le traitement des cancers en favorisant le transport de l'agent antitumoral à l'endroit précis où il sera utile.

Abstract

Over the past 50 years, triazines have made a great impact on agriculture and world hunger by assisting in the development of new farming methods, providing greater farming and land use capabilities, and increasing crop yields. Triazines are registered in over 80 countries and save billions of dollars a year. The Triazine Herbicides is the one book that presents a comprehensive view of the total science and agriculture of these chemicals. With emphasis on how the chemicals are studied and developed, reviewed, and used at the agricultural level this book provides valuable insight into th
