摘要:
Radioactive fluorine can be easily introduced into biologically active molecules containing amino groups. A p-bromomethyl benzoyl group is coupled to the amino group of the biologically active molecule, and bromine is displaced by fluorine. Alternatively, the bromine on the bromomethylbenzoyl group is first displaced by fluorine, and the fluoromethyl benzoyl group is then coupled to the amino group of the biologically active molecule. The compounds so produced are useful in diagnostic nuclear medicine.

An automated apparatus for conducting a broad range of organic synthesis reactions includes a first column carring a polymeric support, a second column carrying a second polymer support, and conduits connecting the two columns and permitting the circulation of fluids therebetween. In operation each polymeric support carries a different reactive species and a liquid medium containing a specifically selected intermediate reactant, in a solvent, is circulated between the columns in order to remove the reactive species from the first support by reaction with the intermediate, and to permit the reactive species thus removed to react with the reactive second support, at the same time regenerating the original intermediate reactant. Sensors are placed at the entrance and exit of the second column carrying the second polymeric support. The sensors are capable of sensing the relative presence of the intermediate reactant. When the same content of intermediate reactant is sensed at both the entrance and exit of the second column, the computer causes the circulation to be automatically stopped as this indicates complete loading of the second column.
摘要:
Peptides are provided that are capable of inhibiting cell activation mediated by a Toll-like receptor (TLR) selected from TLR 1, 2, 4 or 6, said peptide comprising a sequence consisting of, or found within, the sequence of the transmembrane domain of a TLR selected from TLR 1, 2, 4 or 6 and optionally cytoplasmic and extracellular regions flanking the transmembrane domain. These peptides as well as pharmaceutical composition comprising them are useful for the treatment of TLR-mediated disease.
摘要:
The invention provides lipophilic conjugates comprising a peptide coupled to a fatty add, 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.
