We report our attempts at improving the oral efficacy of low-nanomolar inhibitors of xanthine oxidase from isocytosine series through chemical modifications. Our lead compound had earlier shown good in vivo efficacy when administered intraperitoneally but not orally. Several modifications are reported here which achieved more than twofold improvement in exposure. A compound with significant improvement in oral efficacy was also obtained. 相似文献

Urotensin-II is a polypeptide ligand with neurohormone-like activity. It mediates downstream signaling pathways through G-protein-coupled receptor 14 (GPR14) also known as urotensin receptor (UTR). Urotensin-II is the most potent endogenous vasoconstrictor in mammals, promoting cardiovascular remodelling, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. It is also involved in other physiological and pathological activities, including neurosecretory effects, insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, kidney disease, and carcinogenic effects. Moreover, it is a notable player in the process of inflammatory injury, which leads to the development of inflammatory diseases. Urotensin-II/UTR expression stimulates the accumulation of monocytes and macrophages, which promote the adhesion molecules expression, chemokines activation and release of inflammatory cytokines at inflammatory injury sites. Therefore, urotensin-II turns out to be an important therapeutic target for the treatment options and management of associated diseases. The main downstream signaling pathways mediated through this urotensin-II /UTR system are RhoA/ROCK, MAPKs and PI3K/AKT. Due to the importance of urotensin-II systems in biomedicine, we consolidated a network map of urotensin-II /UTR signaling. The described signaling map comprises 33 activation/inhibition events, 31 catalysis events, 15 molecular associations, 40 gene regulation events, 60 types of protein expression, and 11 protein translocation events. The urotensin-II signaling pathway map is made freely accessible through the WikiPathways Database (https://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/Pathway:WP5158). The availability of comprehensive urotensin-II signaling in the public resource will help understand the regulation and function of this pathway in normal and pathological conditions. We believe this resource will provide a platform to the scientific community in facilitating the identification of novel therapeutic drug targets for diseases associated with urotensin-II signaling.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12079-022-00672-4. 相似文献

Germline competent embryonic stem (ES) cells can serve as a tool to create genetically engineered rat strains used to elucidate gene function or provide disease models. In optimum culture conditions, ES cells are able to retain their pluripotent state. The type of components present and their concentration in ES cell culture media greatly influences characteristics of ES cells including the ability to maintain the cells in a pluripotent state. We routinely use 2i media containing inhibitors CHIR99021 and PD0325901 to culture rat ES cells. CHIR99021 specifically inhibits the Gsk3β pathway. We have found that the vendor source of CHIR99021 has a measurable influence on the level of aneuploidy seen over time as rat ES cells are passaged. Karyotyping of three different rat ES cell lines passaged multiple times showed increased aneuploidy when CHIR99021 from source B was used. Mass spectrometry analysis of this inhibitor showed the presence of unexpected synthetic small molecules, which might directly or indirectly cause increases in chromosome instability. Identifying these molecules could further understanding of their influence on chromosome stability and indicate how to improve synthesis of this media component to prevent deleterious effects in culture. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: Over the last decade, a large variety of clustering algorithms have been developed to detect coregulatory relationships among genes from microarray gene expression data. Model-based clustering approaches have emerged as statistically well-grounded methods, but the properties of these algorithms when applied to large-scale data sets are not always well understood. An in-depth analysis can reveal important insights about the performance of the algorithm, the expected quality of the output clusters, and the possibilities for extracting more relevant information out of a particular data set. RESULTS: We have extended an existing algorithm for model-based clustering of genes to simultaneously cluster genes and conditions, and used three large compendia of gene expression data for Saccharomyces cerevisiae to analyze its properties. The algorithm uses a Bayesian approach and a Gibbs sampling procedure to iteratively update the cluster assignment of each gene and condition. For large-scale data sets, the posterior distribution is strongly peaked on a limited number of equiprobable clusterings. A GO annotation analysis shows that these local maxima are all biologically equally significant, and that simultaneously clustering genes and conditions performs better than only clustering genes and assuming independent conditions. A collection of distinct equivalent clusterings can be summarized as a weighted graph on the set of genes, from which we extract fuzzy, overlapping clusters using a graph spectral method. The cores of these fuzzy clusters contain tight sets of strongly coexpressed genes, while the overlaps exhibit relations between genes showing only partial coexpression.

With structural guidance, tropane-derived HTS hits were modified to optimize for HSP90 inhibition and a desirable in vivo profile. Through an iterative SAR development process 12i (XL888) was discovered and shown to reduce HSP90 client protein content in PD studies. Furthermore, efficacy experiments performed in a NCI-N87 mouse xenograft model demonstrated tumor regression in some dosing regimens. 相似文献

NH stretching bands of N-acetyl-(glycine, L -alanine, L -leucine)-N′-methylamides in dilute chloroform solution have shown that these dipeptides are present as a mixture of intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded five-membered ring species and nonhydrogen bonded species. Integrated absorption intensity measurements revealed that the concentration of the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded species decreased from 62% in glycine to 35% in the L -leucine derivatives. 相似文献

Vangl2, a core component of the Planar Cell Polarity pathway, is necessary for the caudal migration of Facial Branchiomotor (FBM) neurons in the vertebrate hindbrain. Studies in zebrafish suggest that vangl2 functions largely non-cell autonomously to regulate FBM neuron migration out of rhombomere 4 (r4), but the cell-type within which it acts is not known. Here, we demonstrate that vangl2 functions largely in floor plate cells to regulate caudal neuronal migration. Furthermore, FBM neurons fail to migrate caudally in the mouse Gli2 mutant that lacks the floor plate, suggesting an evolutionarily conserved role for this cell type in neuronal migration. Although hindbrain floor plate cilia are disorganized in vangl2 mutant embryos, cilia appear to be dispensable for neuronal migration. Notably, Vangl2 is enriched in the basolateral, but not apical, membranes of floor plate cells. Taken together, our data suggest strongly that Vangl2 regulates FBM neuron migration by acting in floor plate cells, independently of cilia function. 相似文献
