RESUMEN
In this research, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Phthorimaea operculella was sequenced and annotated. The mitogenome of P. operculella is 15,269 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosome RNA (12s and 16srRNA) genes and 1 control region. In addition, we used Endoclita signifier as the outgroup to analyze phylogenetic relationship, and the phylogenetic tree showed the sister relationship between P. operculella and Tuta absoluta.
RESUMEN
One-pot synthesis of novel phosphoramidates with porphine and nitrogenous drug was accomplished. In the absence of light, MTT test showed that they killed the BEL-7402 liver cancer cells effectively in vitro. The cell viability studied on normal liver and cancer cells showed that porphine phosphoramidates selectively kill the cancer cells, which was in sharp contrast with the non-porphine containing compound 4-formylphenyl N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-phosphoramidate. These results, coupled with the cell uptake test showing that they could differentiate the tumor cells from the normal cells by their selective accumulation in cancer cells, gave strong support to the notion that the introduction of porphine moiety in these molecules was responsible for the effectiveness and cell differentiability of these porphine phosphoramidates.
