The 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor (5-HT3R) is a member of the pentameric ligand-gated ion channel (pLGIC) family, that plays an important role in fast signal transduction and cell-cell communication in synapses: They convert a chemical signal from a neuro ...
Trigger happy: Trigger-responsive chain-shattering polymeric therapeutics (CSPTs) were prepared by condensation polymerization of a UV- or hydrogen peroxide-responsive domain and a drug as co-monomers. Drug release can be started and stopped by starting an ...
Drug, molecules consist of a few tens of atoms connected by covalent bonds. Haw many such molecules are possible in total and what is their structure? This question is of pressing interest in: medicinal. chemistry to help solve the problems of drug potency ...
This paper reports on the cell uptake and trafficking properties of a series of non-covalent polymer-drug conjugates. These nanomedicines are composed of a poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide) backbone functionalized with multiple copies of a drug. The ...
Inefficient production of membrane-embedded multi-protein complexes by conventional methods has largely prevented the generation of high-resolution structural information and the performance of high-throughput drug discovery screens for this class of prote ...
The clinical efficacy and safety of a drug is determined by its activity profile across many proteins in the proteome. However, designing drugs with a specific multi-target profile is both complex and difficult. Therefore methods to design drugs rationally ...
The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...
Nanopharmaceuticals or nanomedicines are defined as nanometer sized (1 to 1000 nm) complex systems, consisting of at least two components, one of which being the biologically active moiety such as a drug, peptide, protein or nucleotide. Several nano-sized ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a proinflammatory cytokine, is considered an attractive therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. In addition to its known biologic activities, MIF can also function as a tautomerase ...
