The present invention relates to the use of thioredoxin as, inter alia, a cell growth stimulator, as well as a screen for agents that are useful in reducing or preventing thioredoxin-associated apoptosis inhibition and agents that are useful in inhibiting thioredoxin stimulated cell growth.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions containing a common ligand linked to a detectable moiety and provides methods for the preparation of such compositions. The present invention also provides methods for screening candidate ligands for binding to a NAD binding receptor, which include contacting a receptor with a candidate ligand and a composition of the invention followed by evaluation of receptor binding. The screening method of the present invention has broad applicability and can be used to screen large numbers of a wide variety of ligands. The present invention further provides methods for detecting the binding activity of a putative receptor, which include combining the putative receptor with a composition of the invention and evaluating the level of detectable moiety. The invention also provides kits useful for detection of receptors having NAD binding activity and for screening of candidate ligands that bind to a NAD binding receptor.
摘要:
This invention pertains to substituted chalcones, specifically substituted 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)prop-1-en-3-ones, which have therapeutic application, for example, as potent antiproliferative agents and antiinflammatory agents, and which have the formula (I) wherein: X is nullH, nullOH, nullOC(nullO)R3, nullOS(nullO)2OH, or nullOP(nullO)2(OH)2; Y is nullH or a C1-4alkyl group; Z is nullH or nullOCH3; R1 is nullH, a C1-4alkyl group, or C1-4fluoroalkyl group; R2 is nullH, a C1-4alkyl group, or C1-4fluoroalkyl group; and, R3 is nullH, a C1-6alkyl group, a C3-20 heterocyclyl group, or a C5-20aryl group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, and protected forms thereof. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, for both diagnosis and treatment of, for example, proliferative conditions, such as cancer, and inflammatory conditions.
摘要:
Cancers of different cellular or tissue origins express different ENOX2 cancer isoforms or combinations of isoforms and shed these proteins into the circulation. Herein are disclosed methods both for cancer detection and diagnosis of particular origin, based on the patterns and molecular weights of the isoforms which allow the identification of the cell type and or tissue of origin of the neoplasm. Relative ENOX2 amounts are proportional to tumor burden and provide a reliable measure of response to therapy and disease progression. Also provided is the amino acid sequence to which the scFv antibodies bind as the molecular basis for the specificity of the test.

Method of preparing isolated microsomes comprising an irreversibly inhibited cytochrome P450 (CYP450). Isolated microsome characterised in that a cytochrome P450 thereof is irreversibly inhibited by a non-reversible inhibitor. Use of isolated microsomes according to the Invention in a method of phenotyping enzymatic reactions of a drug candidate.
摘要:
A date-rape drug detector includes an elongated shaft having an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the shaft is bendable and includes a plurality of notches that grip the upper rim of a beverage container. Proximal the lower end is a chamber having a testing strip therein that is deployable to a perpendicular position relative to the shaft. Along the length of the strip are a plurality of reactive spots that change color in the presence of a date-rape drug. Each successive spot is covered with a progressively thicker layer of water-soluble material than a preceding spot so that each spot requires a different submersion time in order to be exposed. Therefore, a user can test a beverage for the presence of a date-rape drug at progressive intervals.
