摘要:
Methods for identifying agents capable of disrupting a salt bridge in an influenza A virus nucleoprotein corresponding to the E339 . . . R416 salt bridge in SEQ ID NO:1, and thus the trimerization of the NP protein; and uses of such agents, e.g., small molecules and peptides, for inhibiting influenza virus replication and treating infection caused by influenza virus.

The crude extract of Plectranthus Amboinicus (PA) has anti-inflammatory effects and can inhibit AP-1 binding in vitro. The incubation with PA crude extract resulted in significant inhibition of the LPS-induced expression of IL-6, IL-12, MCP-1, and RANTES in HUVEC cells. After the crude extract was further fractionated using preparative HPLC, fraction 8, 9, 10 and 11 were identified to inhibit the AP-1 binding activity. The active component of fraction 8 is Mena 987; fraction 9 is Mena 998; fraction 10 is Mena 9102; and fraction 11 is rosmarinic acid and the synthestic rosmarinic acid analogues. Other compounds showed inhibitory activities as well. These compounds have inhibitory effects on AP-1 activity and are useful as preventive or therapeutic agent for diseases in which excessive expression or activities of AP-1 are involved.

摘要:
The present invention provides compounds which are potent inhibitors against Lpd activity, PDH activity, and/or the growth of tubercle bacillus, and thus are useful in the treatment of tuberculosis infection and associated conditions. The present invention is further directed to in vitro- and in vzivo-based methods of inhibiting Lpd and/or PDH activity. In certain embodiments, these methods are useful in inhibiting Lpd and/or PDH activity key to a pathogen's survival.

摘要:
Methods for metabolic oligosaccharide engineering that incorporates derivatized alkyne-bearing sugar analogs as “tags” into cellular glycoconjugates are disclosed. Alkynyl derivatized Fuc and alkynyl derivatized ManNAc sugars are incorporated into cellular glycoconjugates. Chemical probes comprising an azide group and a visual or fluorogenic probe and used to label alkyne-derivatized sugar-tagged glycoconjugates are disclosed. Chemical probes bind covalently to the alkynyl group by Cu(I)-catalyzed [3+2] azide-alkyne cycloaddition and are visualized at the cell surface, intracellularly, or in a cellular extract. The labeled glycoconjugate is capable of detection by flow cytometry, SDS-PAGE, Western blot, ELISA, confocal microscopy, and mass spectrometry.
摘要:
Moenomycin inhibits bacterial growth by clocking the transglycosylase activity of class A penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), which are key enzymes in bacterial cell wall synthesis. The binding affinities of moenomycin A with various truncated PBPs were compared showing that the transmembrane domain is important for moenomycin binding. Full-length class-A PBPs from 16 bacterial species were produced, and their binding activities showed a correlation with the antimicrobial activity of moenomycin against Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, a fluorescence anisotropy-based high-throughput assay was developed and used successfully for identification of transglycosylase inhibitors.
摘要:
A method, system and device to identify, study and/or mimic carbohydrate-protein interactions on cell surfaces and in solution measured by a glycan microarray. In some instances the method, system and device uses very small quantities of carbohydrate as low as attomol. In some instances the system, method and device is high-throughput. The small quantity sensitivity may allow for close placement of carbohydrate array members wherein due to close proximity multivalent interactions with proteins may be identified.
摘要:
A method of treating coronavirus infection. The method includes administering to a subject suffering from or being at risk of suffering from such infection an effective amount of a compound of formula (I). Each variable in this formula is defined in the specification.
