摘要:
Structural and functional analysis of peptide inhibitor binding to the cyclin D and cyclin A groove has been investigated and used to design peptides that provide the basis for structure-activity relationships, have improved binding and have potential for development as chemical biology probes, as potential diagnostics and as therapeutics in the treatment of proliferative diseases including cancer and inflammation.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a peptide of following formula I: R being a side chain having at least one heteroatom selected from sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen in a carbonyl form (C═O); R1 being either H or a lipophilic chain; R2 being either OH or a lipophilic chain. More particularly the present invention concerns a cosmetic composition comprising a peptide as recited above and a physiologically acceptable medium. Results on the activity of the compounds are obtained and on the general state of the skin and its appendages, in particular via the stimulation of extracellular matrix components.
摘要:
In one aspect, the present invention provides isolated novel peptides that can be used to modulate innate immunity in a subject and/or for the treatment of an immune-related disorder, including treating and preventing infection by modulating innate immunity. Also provided are an agent reactive with the peptide, a pharmaceutical composition that includes the peptide, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the peptide, a recombinant nucleic acid construct that includes the nucleic acid molecule, at least one host cell comprising the recombinant nucleic acid construct, and a method of producing the peptide using the host cell. The present invention further provides a method for treating and/or preventing infection in a subject by administering the peptide of the invention to the subject, thereby modulating innate immunity in the subject. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for predicting whether a subject would be responsive to treatment with a peptide of the invention.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for treating conditions associated with a chemosensory receptor, including diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases, disorders or conditions by administering a composition comprising a chemosensory receptor ligand. Also provided herein are chemosensory receptor ligand compositions and methods for the preparation thereof for use in the methods of the present invention.
摘要:
The embodiments provide Compound KC-8, N-1-[3-(oxycodone-6-enol-carbonyl-methyl-amino) -2,2-dimethyl-propylamine]-arginine-glycine-malonic acid, or acceptable salts, solvates, and hydrates thereof. The present disclosure also provides compositions, and their methods of use, where the compositions comprise a prodrug, Compound KC-8, that provides controlled release of oxycodone. Such compositions can optionally provide a trypsin inhibitor that interacts with the enzyme that mediates the controlled release of oxycodone from the prodrug so as to attenuate enzymatic cleavage of the prodrug.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a liquid (or solution)-phase manufacturing process for preparing the decapeptide Degarelix, its protected precursor, and other useful intermediates. The invention further relates to polypeptides useful in the solution-phase manufacturing process and to the purification of Degarelix itself. Degarelix can be obtained by subjecting a Degarelix precursor according to formula (II): (P1)AA1-AA2-AA3-AA4(P4)-AA5-AA6(P6)-AA7-AA8(P8)-AA9-AA10-NH2 (II) or a salt or solvate thereof, to a treatment with a cleaving agent in an organic solvent, wherein P1 is an amino protecting groups; preferably acetyl; P4 is hydrogen or a hydroxy! protecting group, preferably a hydroxyl protecting group; P6 is hydrogen or an amino protecting groups; preferably an amino protecting groups; and P8 is an amino protecting group.
摘要:
The invention provides lipophilic conjugates comprising a peptide coupled to a fatty acid, the peptide comprising at least two positively charged amino acid residues, said peptide after conjugation to the fatty acid possessing antibacterial, antifungal, and/or anticancer activity higher than prior to conjugation. The lipophilic conjugates are suitable for treatment of infections caused by pathogenic organisms such as bacteria and fungi. The lipophilic conjugates are also suitable for sanitation, as disinfectants, or for food preservation.
摘要:
Peptide ligands are found. All of the peptide ligands have high-affinity against a tumor biomarker, GRP-78. Phage display library is used for screening out the peptide ligands. The peptide ligands can be labeled with a luminescent or a radioactive material to be used as probes for detecting tumor.
摘要:
Oligomeric acylated biosurfactants (“OABs”) having low critical micelle concentrations of from about 1.0 ppm to about 200 ppm, preferably less than about 50 ppm, in an aqueous solution of Minimal Essential Media that can lower the surface tension in the aqueous MEM environment to less than about 50 dynes/cm2 and have the ability to increase metabolic soluble proteins and/or increase synthesis of extracellular skin matrix proteins and/or increase rates of cell turnover while at the same time exhibiting comparatively low toxicity—preferably, an LD50 of greater 200 ppm in 37 year-old female fibroblast cells. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to the use of OABs in formulations that are topically-applied, by which is meant the formulation is placed in direct contact with the skin, hair and nails as well as mucosa of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, anus and vagina.
摘要:
The disclosure provides compositions and methods relating to aromatic-cationic peptides. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide to subjects in need thereof. For example, the peptides may be administered to subjects in need of a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant.
