摘要:
The invention relates to novel nucleic acids encoding a mammalian PCADM-1 gene, and proteins encoded thereby, whose expression is increased in certain diseases, disorders, or conditions, including, but not limited to, prostate cancer. The invention further relates to methods of detecting and treating prostate cancer, comprising modulating or detecting PCADM-1 expression and/or production and activity of PCADM-1 polypeptide. Further, the invention relates to novel assays for the identification of DNA-binding proteins and the double-stranded oligonucleotide sequences that specifically bind with them. Finally, the invention relates to DNAZYMs or DNA enzymes which specifically bind PCADM-1 mRNA to inhibit PCADM-1 gene expression and thereby destroy tumor cells and tumor tissue.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for improving stability of non fluoridated sugar derivatives, and in particular glucose derivatives such as 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-beta-D-mannopyranose which are used as precursors for production of radiofluoridated sugar derivatives for use in in vivo imaging procedures such as positron emission tomography (PET). The method comprises storing the non fluoridated sugar derivative in an organic solvent. The resultant formulations of the non fluoridated sugar derivative and cassettes for automated synthesis apparatus comprising the same are also claimed.

A combinatorial chemical library of compounds structurally related to the moenomycin class of antibiotics has formula (I) wherein D is a donor mono- or disaccharide, A is an acceptor monosaccharide, and P-R is a lipophosphoglycerate mimetic group. Members of the library have a glycosidic linkage between the anomeric carbon of D and the C2 carbon of A, and the D-A moiety is in turn covalently linked through the anomeric carbon of A to the P-R group. Members of the library exhibit their greatest structural diversity in terms of substitutions occurring at the C3 position of the A residue, substitutions at the C2 position of the D residue, and different P-R groups used in assembling the compounds. Members of the library are preferably synthesized by solid phase techniques involving stepwise coupling of the respective units to a support, functionalizing the A and/or D saccharides either before or after immobilizing them on the support, and cleaving the assembled compounds from the support. Preferred functionalities attached to the sugar residues are amides, carbamates, ureas, sulfonamides, substituted amines, esters, carbonates, and sulfates. Exemplary P-R groups are derivatives of homoserine, glyceric acid, salicylates and mandelic acid. Members of the library can be screened for anti-microbial activity by contacting them with a culture of microbes and monitoring the growth rate of the microbes.

摘要:
A preparative scale method for the isolation of unreduced oligosaccharides of glycoproteins and glycohormones having a N-linked oligosaccharide structure is disclosed. The method employs hydrazinolysis of the glycoprotein or glycohormone under reaction conditions to cause cleavage at the N-linked sites, producing a mixture having as a major component a de-N-acetylated hydrazone derivative of the oligosaccharides, followed by N-acylation of the hydrazone derivative, acid-catalysis of the hydrazone derivative to produce unreduced oligosaccharides, and subjecting the resulting unreduced oligosaccharides to cellulose column chromatography to remove contaminants and to recover the unreduced oligosaccharides.
