Both were subsequently found to be precursors of more potent inhibitors, analogues with various substituents on the triazole or imidazole rings, some with Ki values in the nM range, reviewed, amongst others, by Zien et al. and Battistutta et al.. Notwithstanding the high structural similarity between TBBt and TBBz, they differ significantly in…[Read more]

Gene expression profiling in human alcoholics and rodent models of binge drinking and dependence have provided insight into the changes in the brain transcriptional landscape resulting from different drinking paradigms; however, to date it is not clear whether transcriptome changes found in animal models of excessive alcohol consumption are…[Read more]

Previous reports of unmodified rhTIMP-1 pharmacokinetics in rodents have varied considerably; an early study found an elimination half-life of 4 h in mice, while another group recently reported a half-life of 42 h in an ischemia-reperfusion model in rats. Both of these values are considerably longer than the 1.1 h elimination half-life that we…[Read more]

Our experiments demonstrate that LHX3 interacts with the acidic carboxyl domains of the TAF-1b and LANP INHAT components. It has been described that LANP and TAF-1b similarly interact with each other through their carboxyl terminal acidic domains. INHAT components have been described as both facilitating transcriptional repression and activation…[Read more]

The reconstruction is performed by a systematic fit of models for drug action to the doseresponse surfaces, whereas the underlying models can show a widely varying degree of detail. The models can be based on the simplified concepts of Loewe additivity and Bliss independence and go up to mechanistic systems biology models, where the respective…[Read more]

We have previously described the neuroprotection afforded by Y-27632 in Drosophila and in R6/2 mice with systemic administration. HA-1077 is a ROCK inhibitor approved for BAY 73-4506 clinical use in Japan. It is employed to suppress vasospasm in subarachnoid hemorrhage. We have previously observed that HA-1077 is more effective than Y- 27632 in…[Read more]

Further, whereas molecular studies have shown that LHX3 regulates nervous system genes within multiprotein complexes and that the N-terminal LIM domains and HD likely mediate these interactions, pituitary gene control requires the actions of additional LHX3 protein regions, including the critical C-terminal activation and repression domains.…[Read more]

This aspect of the action of proteasome inhibition on vascular inflammation and its link to hypertension warrants further in depth study. Lastly, vascular hypertrophy may arise in part via increases in VSMC proliferation. AngII was shown to increase the number of proliferating VSMC in the aorta. Similarly, we observed that AngII hypertension was…[Read more]

The validity of the pharmacophore models was established by Fischer’s randomization test, internal and external test set predictions. The complementary nature of ligand and structure-based model has augmented the statistical findings of both the pharmacophores. The significance of the present study is clearly reflected by the identification of f…[Read more]

ECM turnover is governed by a dynamic balance amongst multiple factors, including MMP and their cognate inhibitors, TIMPs. We observed AngII-induced increases in TIMP1 and TIMP2 protein expression of 4 fold and 1.7 fold after chronic AngII-treatment, values that were consistent with previous reports. Interestingly, we found that bortezomib…[Read more]
