Serpins, a superfamily of protease inhibitors, control proteolytic cascades in many physiological processes. Genomic studies have revealed the presence of a high number of serpin-encoding genes in Drosophila melanogaster, but their functions remain largely ...
Epithelial tissues facing the external environment are essential to combating microbial infection. In addition to providing a physical barrier, epithelial tissues mount chemical defenses to prevent invasion of internal tissues by pathogens. Here, we descri ...
Double trouble: A hybrid org.-inorg. (organometallic) inhibitor was designed to target glutathione transferases. The metal center is used to direct protein binding, while the org. moiety acts as the active-site inhibitor (see picture). The mechanism of inh ...
center dot Antiretroviral protease inhibitors such as lopinavir and saquinavir have been shown to be substrates of ABCB1. Co-administration with the potent ABCB1 and CYP3A4 inhibitor, ritonavir, has shown improved pharmacokinetics and subsequent therapeuti ...
This review presents natural products from cyanobacteria. Several classes of secondary metabolites are highlighted. Toxic metabolites from these prokaryotic photosynthetic organisms include compounds such as microcystin, anatoxin and saxitoxin, which displ ...
An expeditious and efficient synthesis of new enantiopure polyhydroxylated seven- and eight-membered carbocycles is described starting from 2,3.5-tri-O-benzyl-D-arabinose. The key cyclization step involves ring closing metathesis of 1,8- and 1,9-dienes usi ...
The efficiency of protease inhibiting drugs is hampered by the rapid emergence of protease variants. Understanding this phenomenon requires the characterization of the salient steps of HIV-1 protease's catalytic cycle. We summarize Our investigations on th ...
The gamma-secretase complex is an unusual multimeric protease responsible for the intramembrane cleavage of a variety of type 1 transmembrane proteins, including the beta-amyloid precursor protein and Notch. Genetic and biochemical data have revealed that ...

Chicory is a major source of fructans with reported prebiotic-bifidogenic properties. In the present study, the potential anti-inflammatory activities of chicory were investigated. Ethyl acetate chicory root extract produced a marked inhibition of prostagl ...
