Synthesis of phosphodiester-type nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogs [PDF]
Fourteen phosphodiester-type beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) analogs were prepared starting from nicotinamide. The phosphodiester linkage was effectively assembled in 69-93% yields via condensation reaction between 2'.3'-di-O-acetyl ...

Adenine decreases hypertrophic effects through interleukin-18 receptor
Cardiac hypertrophy is the main cause of heart failure. Levels of circulating interleukin-18 (IL-18) have been reported to increase in congestive heart disease and cardiac hypertrophy. Relationships among IL-18 levels, IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expression,

Antagonism of Morphine Analgesia by Adenine, Adenosine, and Adenine Nucleotides
SummaryAntagonism of the antinociceptive action of morphine in mice by prior parenteral administration of cAMP has been confirmed using two additional analgesic testing procedures, the hot-plate test and the stretching test. The analgesia-antagonistic property, however, is not specific for cAMP because it also occurred after pretreatment with compounds

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

The Suppressor of AAC2 Lethality SAL1 Modulates Sensitivity of Heterologously Expressed Artemia ADP/ATP Carrier to Bongkrekate in Yeast [PDF]
The ADP/ATP carrier protein (AAC) expressed in Artemia franciscana is refractory to bongkrekate. We generated two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae where AAC1 and AAC3 were inactivated and the AAC2 isoform was replaced with Artemia AAC containing a ...
