The identification and subsequent optimisation of a selective non-peptidic NPY Y2 antagonist series is described. This led to the development of amine 2, a selective, soluble NPY Y2 receptor antagonist with enhanced CNS exposure. 相似文献

In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in
the Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to
understanding the Plasmodium life cycle in Anopheles species from the Amazon Region
is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. Several attempts to colonise
Ano- pheles species have been conducted, but with only short-lived success or no
success at all. In this review, we review the literature on malaria transmission from
the perspective of its Amazon vectors. Currently, it is possible to develop
experimental Plasmodium vivax infection of the colonised and field-captured vectors
in laboratories located close to Amazonian endemic areas. We are also reviewing
studies related to the immune response to P. vivax infection of Anopheles aquasalis,
a coastal mosquito species. Finally, we discuss the importance of the modulation of
Plasmodium infection by the vector microbiota and also consider the anopheline
genomes. The establishment of experimental mosquito infections with Plasmodium
falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium berghei parasites that could provide
interesting models for studying malaria in the Amazonian scenario is important.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of the parasites
in New World vectors is crucial in order to better determine the interaction process
and vectorial competence. 相似文献

Exploitation of potential new targets for drug and vaccine development has an absolute requirement for multimilligram quantities of soluble protein. While recombinant expression of full-length proteins is frequently problematic, high-yield soluble expression of functional subconstructs is an effective alternative, so long as appropriate termini can be identified. Bioinformatics localizes domains, but doesn't predict boundaries with sufficient accuracy, so that subconstructs are typically found by trial and error. Combinatorial Domain Hunting (CDH) is a technology for discovering soluble, highly expressed constructs of target proteins. CDH combines unbiased, finely sampled gene-fragment libraries, with a screening protocol that provides "holistic" readout of solubility and yield for thousands of protein fragments. CDH is free of the "passenger solubilization" and out-of-frame translational start artifacts of fusion-protein systems, and hits are ready for scale-up expression. As a proof of principle, we applied CDH to p85alpha, successfully identifying soluble and highly expressed constructs encapsulating all the known globular domains, and immediately suitable for downstream applications. 相似文献

Structure based virtual screening of ligands to identify cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist
Srinivas Bandaru Vijaya Kumar Marri Priyadarshani Kasera Purnima Kovuri Amandeep Girdhar Deepti Raj Mittal Sabeen Ikram Ravi GV Anuraj Nayarisseri 《Bioinformation》2014,10(10):652-657
Montelukast and Zafirlukast are known leukotriene receptor antagonists prescribed in asthma treatment. However, these fall short
as mono therapy and are frequently used in combination with inhaled glucocorticosteroids with or without long acting beta 2
agonists. Therefore, it is of interest to apply ligand and structure based virtual screening strategies to identify compounds akin to
lead compounds Montelukast and Zafirlukast. Hence, compounds with structures having 95% similarity to these compounds were
retrieved from NCBI׳s PubChem database. Compounds similar to lead were grouped and docked at the antagonist binding site of
cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1. This exercise identified compounds UNII 70RV86E50Q (Pub Cid 71587778) and Sure CN 9587085
(Pub Cid 19793614) with higher predicted binding compared to Montelukast and Zafirlukast. It is shown that the compound Sure
CN 9587085 showed appreciable ligand receptor interaction compared to UNII 70RV86E50Q. Thus, the compound Sure CN
9587085 is selected as a potent antagonist to cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 for further consideration in vitro and in vivo validation. 相似文献

A screening hit was used as the basis for the core structure of a new series of acylglycinamide GlyT-1 inhibitors. Investigation of the SAR around four areas of diversity used facile chemistry to prepare compounds quickly. By focussing on reducing the lipophilicity and improving the aqueous solubility in the series we were able to prepare a compound (17e) with a good level of activity at GlyT-1, selectivity over GlyT-2 and moderate oral bioavailability. 相似文献

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was adapted for genomic identification of cell cultures and evaluation of DNA stability in cells of different origin at different culture passages. DNA stability was observed in cultures after no more than 5 passages. Adipose-derived stromal cells demonstrated increased DNA instability. RAPD fragments from different cell lines after different number of passages were cloned and sequenced. The chromosomal localization of these fragments was identified and single-nucleotide variations in RAPD fragments isolated from cell lines after 8–12 passages were revealed. Some of them had permanent localization, while most variations demonstrated random distribution and can be considered as de novo mutations. 相似文献

BackgroundAddition of chemotherapy to radiation has improved 5-year survival by 6%. However, the optimal dose and schedule of concurrent cisplatin is not well defined, though widely accepted practice is the weekly schedule of 40 mg/m2 for 5 weeks. Repeated admissions for weekly cisplatin drain the limited resources in high volume centres. We intended to study the compliance and toxicity of two cisplatin schedules in our patients diagnosed with carcinoma cervix.Materials and methodsBetween 2007–2011, 212 patients, histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma with stages IIB to IIIB were randomized into two arms. All patients were planned for external beam radiotherapy 45 Gy/25 frs over 5 weeks followed by Intracavitary or Interstitial brachytherapy to a total BED dose of 75–85 Gy. Single agent cisplatin given concomitantly, was scheduled weekly (40 mg/m2/cycle, 5 cycles) in an arm A and three weekly (100 mg/m2/cycle, 2 cycles) in an arm B. Toxicity and compliance were evaluated weekly according to the RTOG guidelines. Analysis of the compiled data was done using SSPS version 20.ResultsOf the evaluable 212, 109 patients received weekly cisplatin chemotherapy and 103 patients received three weekly cisplatin. The most common acute toxicity observed was grade I–II leucopoenia. The upper and lower gastrointestinal reactions were high in three weekly arms, which was statistically significant (57% and 42.7%, p < 0.05). Proctitis was observed in 10% of patients in both of the arms and only two patients had Gr1 Cystitis after 6 months of treatment.ConclusionsTri-weekly cisplatin based concurrent chemoradiation can be adopted in high volume centres with manageable haematological and gastrointestinal acute toxicities. 相似文献

The technique of direct probe mass spectrometry (DPMS) has been applied to the classification of 40 strains of lactic acid bacteria from refrigerated vacuum-packed beef, pork, lamb and bacon. Relationships between strains were examined by multi-variate statistical techniques using sets of ions selected for reproducibility and sample discrimination. Five groups were distinguished which corresponded closely to those detected in a previous numerical taxonomic study. Two groups contained all 12 representatives of a cluster of unidentifiable non-aciduric streptobacteria whose sub-division is supported by other taxonomic evidence. All twenty-one strains from a cluster of aciduric streptobacteria provisionally identified with Lacto-bacillus sake were contained in two further groups. The sub-division of these acid-uric strains revealed by DPMS has not been verified by other techniques and requires further investigation. The fifth group contained Leuconostoc strains. The study demonstrates the value of DPMS in confirming and clarifying classification schemes obtained by conventional methods. 相似文献
