Inhibition of Sepiapterin Reductase through Formation of a Ternary Complex with Sulfasalazine or other Sulfa Drugs and NADP+

Miriam Grønlund Pedersen

The mechanism of action of sulfasalazine, an anti-inflammatory drug used against inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis is, despite its medical importance, still not well understood. Recently, it was shown that sulfasalazine and its metabolit ...

Privacy-Preserving Computation of Disease Risk by Using Genomic, Clinical, and Environmental Data

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Jacques Fellay, Erman Ayday, Jean Louis Raisaro

According to many scientists and clinicians, genomics is the "next big thing" in the field of medicine. On one hand, decreasing costs in genome sequencing has been paving the way to better preventive and personalized medicine. On the other hand, genomic da ...

Thrombin-sensitive dual fluorescence imaging and therapeutic agent for detection and treatment of synovial inflammation in murine rheumatoid arthritis

Hubert van den Bergh

We have developed a thrombin-sensitive polymeric photosensitizer prodrug (T-PS) to selectively image and eradicate inflammatory lesions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thrombin is a serine protease up-regulated in synovial tissues of rheumatoid arthritis (RA ...

Compositions and use of sulfasalazine

Kai Johnsson, Christopher Chidley

The invention relates to compositions comprising sulfasalazine or sulfapyridine and products of a biosynthetic pathway that requires tetrahydrobiopterin. Such compositions are useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases or rheumatoid arthritis, ...

Chitosan-based nanogels for selective delivery of photosensitizers to macrophages and improved retention in and therapy of articular joints

Georges Wagnières, Jutta Christine Wandrey, Frédéric Schmitt, Jérôme Barge, Lucienne Lagopoulos

Macrophages play key roles in inflammatory disorders. Therefore, they are targets of treatments aiming at their local destruction in inflammation sites. However, injection of low molecular mass therapeutics, including photosensitizers, in inflamed joints r ...

Thrombin-sensitive photodynamic agents: A novel strategy for selective synovectomy in rheumatoid arthritis

Hubert van den Bergh

Protease-sensitive macromolecular prodrugs have attracted interest for bio-responsive drug delivery to sites with up-regulated proteolytic activities such as inflammatory or cancerous lesions. Here we report the development of a novel polymeric photosensit ...
