Introduction Collagen deposition is a common feature found in cancerous tissues and fibrotic organs/lesions. It is now well accepted that collagen deposition is not just a consequence of disease, but that it can also trigger a vicious cycle. Both chemical and physical signals elicited from collagen

A range of therapies exists for the treatment of inflammation-driven diseases, which can be summarized as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticoids and steroidal-related drugs (Ward et al., 2008). Despite of these notable successes, there are still major unmet medical needs in the t

2020-09-22
IL-8 is not expressed in tissues constitutively because of its strong chemoattractant, proinflammatory, and angiogenic activities. Rather, it is an inducible factor, produced by a variety of cell types, including leukocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells, in response to proinflammato

Currently approved anti-obesity drugs for long term use such as orlistat, lorcaserin and liraglutide are efficient in reduction of weight gain but are limited in usage due to their adverse effect profile and higher cost (Krentz et al., 2016; Mopuri and Islam, 2017). In caspofungin to this, plant de

The present results are potentially relevant for understanding anxiety disorders and their treatment. Both COMT Val158Met (Lonsdorf and Kalisch, 2011, Montag et al., 2012) and neuroticism/anxiety (Clark et al., 1994, Mineka et al., 1998, Weinstock and Whisman, 2006) have been linked to the prevalenc

The synthetic route chosen for the preparation of the substrates 18 is shown in Scheme 3. Commercially available 4-aminobenzyl alcohol 13 was found to be relatively unstable to storage and hence it was prepared immediately before use by reduction of the readily available and inexpensive 4-nitrobenzy

The synthetic routes to the substrates based on the 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene and 6,7-dibromo-2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene cores are depicted in Scheme 3. A Michael-type glycosylation of 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene 16a gave the acetylated sugar 17a which was deprotected giving the required β-glucosidase sub

Cyclosporine (NEORAL® Oral Solution, Novartis) is an immunosuppressant widely used in organ transplantation and many other clinical conditions [12]. It undergoes extensive hepatic and intestinal biotransformation mainly via the metabolizing enzyme, CYP3A4 [[12], [13], [14], [15]]. Considering the na

Finally, we assessed the utility of monitoring cfDNA in terms of predicting disease progression earlier than radiological progression. These patients may have a chance to receive subsequent chemotherapy before worsening symptoms. Although the number of the patients who experienced progression was re

Ubiquitin-activating enzyme activates ubiquitin by a three-step process with ATP as a cofactor (Chen et al., 2011, Haas and Rose, 1982, Haas et al., 1982). We demonstrated that ATP is required for mRFP-Ub–E1 formation under non-reducing conditions (Fig. 2A). A time course of radioactive ATP producti

Upstream Stimulatory Factor (USF) binding to the −65 E-box is required for the regulation of FAS promoter activity in fasting/feeding [97], [98]. DNA-PK are identified as a USF-interacting protein [99]. In response to feeding/insulin, the transient double-stranded DNA breaks occurred during the tran

Materials and methods Results Artemis has been reported to possess 5′–3′ exonuclease activity in vitro on ssDNA, as well as DNA-PK-dependent endonuclease activity on single-strand overhang and hairpin DNA structures [11]. However, enzymes within the metallo-β-lactamase family typically contain

Conflicts of interest Introduction Diacylglycerols (DAGs) and phosphatidic Cilengitide (PA) play fundamental roles in biology as basic components of membranes, intermediates in lipid metabolism, and secondary messengers in cellular signaling (Carrasco and Merida, 2007, Fang et al., 2001). Cel

A novel series of DHODH inhibitors was developed by us based on a lead that was discovered during a docking procedure and medicinal chemistry exploration. The activity of the initial lead was improved by a QSAR method and yielded low nanomolar inhibitors. Introduction The most common metabolic h
