Abstract GPR119 is a promising target for discovery of anti-type 2 diabetes mellitus agents. We described the optimisation of a novel series of pyrimido[5,4-b][1,4]oxazine derivatives as GPR119 agonists. Most designed compounds exhibited good agonistic activities. Among them, compound 10 and 15 demonstrated the potent EC50 values (13 and 12?nM, respectively) and strong inherent activities. Moreover, significant hypoglycaemic effect of compound 15 was observed by reducing the blood glucose AUC0–2h at the dose of 30?mg/kg, which is stronger than Vildagliptin (23.4% reduction vs. 17.9% reduction). 相似文献

The objective of the present communication is to address the issues concerning reversal of fluoride induced cell injury and disease (i.e. fluorosis) through the elimination of fluoride and consumption of a diet containing essential nutrients and antioxidants. Humans afflicted with fluorosis, as a result of consuming fluoride contaminated water or food, have been investigated. Hospital based diagnostic procedure for early detection of fluorosis, through retrieval of history, clinical complaints, testing of blood, urine and drinking water for fluoride using ion selective electrode technology, along with X-ray of the forearm have been carried out. Confirmed cases of fluorosis were introduced to an intervention protocol consisting of (1) provision of safe drinking water with fluoride levels less than 1 mg/L and (2) counselling on nutritional supplementation with focus on adequate intake of calcium, vitamins C, E and antioxidants. The patients were monitored at frequent intervals up to one year and the results are reported. With a standardized early diagnosis, elimination of fluoride intake and supplementation of a diet rich in essential nutrients and antioxidants, we have shown that the fluorosis can be reversed. 相似文献

SHIP and SHIP-2 are inositol phosphatases that regulate FcγR-mediated phagocytosis through catalytic as well as non-catalytic mechanisms. In this study we have used two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) analysis to identify downstream signaling proteins that uniquely associate with SHIP or SHIP-2 upon FcγR clustering in human monocytes. We identified LyGDI as a binding partner of SHIP, associating inducibly with the SHIP/Grb2/Shc complex. Immunodepletion and competition experiments with recombinant SHIP domains revealed that Grb2 and the proline-rich domain of SHIP were necessary for SHIP-LyGDI association. Functional studies in primary human monocytes showed that LyGDI sequesters Rac in the cytosol, preventing it from localizing to the membrane. Consistent with this, suppression of LyGDI expression resulted in significantly enhanced FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. 相似文献

The antagonistic activities of derivatives of spiroethyl phenyl(substituted)piperazine at the 5-HT(1A) and adrenergic alpha(1d) receptors is quantitatively analyzed employing physicochemical and structural parameters. The derived correlation equation revealed that a substituent, other than 2-CH3 in the phenyl ring, having higher molar refraction, MR, and a substituent producing higher positive field effect at the 3-position are beneficial in increasing the binding affinity at the 5-HT(1A) receptor. In addition, a less hydrophobic substituent at the 4-position is also helpful in augmenting the binding affinity. The 5-R substituents which have higher MR values, however, elicit a detrimental effect. Two disubstituted compounds which are not present in the original data-set and have higher theoretical binding affinities are designed from the correlation equation. These compounds consisting of 2-OCH(CH3)2, 3-Cl and 2-C3H7, 3-Cl in the phenyl ring, have theoretical pK(i) values 10.57 and 10.12 respectively. For the adrenergic alpha(1d) receptor, a less bulky group at the 3-position with 5-Cl (or simply a 3-Cl) is advantageous in increasing the binding affinity. Likewise, a substituent exhibiting a less negative resonance effect at the 4-position and the substituent with low polarizability and showing more a negative resonance effect at the 5-position are suitable for enhancement of the binding affinity. The analysis provides the grounds for rationalizing substituent selection in designing better potency antagonists in the series. 相似文献

Trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase of Brugia malayi (Bm-TPP) represents an attractive vaccine candidate because it is present in all the major life stages of parasite, but is absent in mammals. We have previously cloned, purified and biochemically characterized Bm-TPP. In the present study, we investigated the cross-reactivity of recombinant Bm-TPP (r-Bm-TPP) with the sera of human bancroftian patients belonging to different disease categories. In silico study using bioinformatics tool demonstrated that Bm-TPP is highly immunogenic in nature. BALB/c mice administered with r-Bm-TPP alone or in combination with Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) generated a strong IgG response. Further investigations on the antibody isotypes showed generation of a mixed T helper cell response which was marginally biased towards Th1 phenotype. r-Bm-TPP with or without adjuvant lead to significantly increased accumulation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the spleen of infected mice and increased the activation of peritoneal macrophages. Additionally, r-Bm-TPP enhanced the production of both proinflammatory (IL-2, IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-10) cytokines and mice immunized with r-Bm-TPP alone or in combination with FCA showed 54.5% and 67% protection respectively against B. malayi infective larvae challenge. Taken together, our findings suggest that Bm-TPP is protective in nature and might be a potential candidate for development of vaccine against lymphatic filarial infections. 相似文献

This study used data from a community-based survey to examine women's experiences of abortion in Nigeria. Fourteen percent of respondents reported that they had ever tried to terminate a pregnancy, and 10% had obtained an abortion. The majority of women who sought an abortion did so early in the pregnancy. Forty-two percent of women who obtained an abortion used the services of a non-professional provider, a quarter experienced complications and 9% sought treatment for complications from their abortions. Roughly half of the women who obtained an abortion used a method other than D&C or MVA. The abortion prevalence and conditions under which women sought abortions varied by women's socio-demographic characteristics. Because abortion is illegal in Nigeria except to save the woman's life, many women take significant risks to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Reducing the incidence of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion can significantly impact the reproductive health of women in Nigeria. 相似文献
