  Acknowledgments Introduction Prostate cancer is the first leading cause of cancer-related deaths among males in the UK and the second in the US. Despite recent advances in surgery, radiation, medical management and screening, prostate cancer patients suffer high morbidity and mortality and signi

  2024-10-17

  

  Enhanced arginase activity and the resultant decreases in L-arginine levels can also impair T cell mediated immune function and allow tumor growth by limiting the supply of L-arginine needed for the formation of cytotoxic levels of NO by iNOS [10]. Increased arginase expression/activity may also lim

  2024-10-17

  

  AP-1 activity is increased by MAP kinase stimulation in different cell types (Whitmarsh and Davis, 1996), while MKP-1, the enzyme that catalyzes the dephosphorylation and inactivation of MAP kinases in the nucleus, inhibits AP-1 (Rössler et al., 2008, Rössler and Thiel, 2009, Mayer et al., 2011, Thi

  2024-10-17

  

  Most human diseases (e.g., cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases) are complex and multifactorial. Several investigations in the literature focused on new multi-target drug development, which implies active pharmacophores incorporation in one scaffold (Meunier, 2008, Lazar et al., 2004, Te

  2024-10-17

  

  In 1989, a missense mutation at codon 102 of the PRNP gene was first reported to be associated with GSS and, in 1991, the same mutation was also found in affected members of the “H” family (Hsiao et al., 1989; Kretzschmar et al., 1991). By 1995, the pedigree of the “H” family included 221 family mem

  2024-10-17

  

  Although the gene that encodes DHFR has been strongly conserved during evolution, subtle differences in the active sites of bacterial, human and parasite amyloid have been exploited to develop DHFR inhibitors specific to particular pathogens 1, 3. For example, pyrimethamine and cycloguanil bind str

  Current treatment options for corneal neovascularization include topical application of steroids220, 25, 35, 43 or surgical interventions: laser ablation,14, 203, 234, 48 photodynamic therapy (PDT),4, 93 and fine-needle diathermy.221, 238, 240, 261 Targeting proangiogenic molecules with topical or s

  2024-10-17

  

  The apocrine sweat glands of the human axilla produce odor substances with pheromone functions whose nature corresponds to volatile steroids (Cowley and Brooksbank, 1991, Grosser et al., 2000, Sobel et al., 1999, Weller, 1998). These functions only begin with puberty, indicating that sex hormones st

  2024-10-17

  

  Circular dichroism (CD) provides useful information about protein structure, the extent and rate of structural changes and ligand binding. CD is a form of light BLU9931 spectroscopy that measures differences in the absorbance of right- and left-circularly polarized light (rather than the commonly u

  Compounds , and with potent ALR2 inhibitory activity were also tested for their inhibition ability against ALR1, as shown in . They all showed low activity with inhibition percentages no more than 45% at the concentration of 10μM, demonstrating good selectivity for ALR2. To evaluate the antioxida

  Numerous studies have reported high glutamate levels in the brains of patients with depression, indicating that the glutamate system plays a crucial role in depression (Sanacora et al., 2004; Kendell et al., 2005; Hashimoto et al., 2007). Furthermore, several clinically effective antidepressant drug

  2024-10-16

  

  In the presence of detrimental conditions, such as inflammation, hypoxia, ischemia trauma or neoplastic milieu, the extracellular levels of adenosine increase massively, reaching micromolar range [51,52]. In these pathological contexts, adenosine accumulation stems from increased extracellular depho

  2024-10-16

  

  The physiological effect of adenosine is now considered a new direction in halting the progression of organ damage in cardiovascular disease [24], [25], [26]. Adenosine has diverse functions, depending on its interaction with different receptor subtypes: A1, A2A, A2B, and A3[24], [25], [26]. Stimula
