Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.All three diastereoisomers of an esterase‐sensitive phosphotriester dCDN prodrug demonstrate improved activity. The (Rp,Rp) diastereoisomer shows the highest activity with an EC50 of 1.7 nM in STING activation and displays the most pronounced antitumor activity via intravenous administration, significantly suppressing tumor proliferation, extending the

Viruses, 2020 A carboxylesterase (CXE) or carboxylic-ester hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes carboxylic ester and water into alcohol and carboxylate. In plants, CXEs have been implicated in defense, development, and secondary metabolism.

Toxicology Letters, 2021 Carboxylesterases (CES) are an important class of enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of a range of chemicals and show large inter-individual variability in vitro. An extensive literature search was performed to identify in vivo probe substrates for CES1 and CES2 together with their protein content and enzymatic activity. Human pharmacokinetic (PK) data

Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 Z-Guggulsterone is a major ingredient in the Indian traditional hypolipidemic remedy guggul. A study in mice has established that its hypolipidemic effect involves the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), presumably by acting as an antagonist of this receptor. It

Gut Microbiota-Based Pharmacokinetics and the Antidepressant Mechanism of Paeoniflorin
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019 Paeoniflorin, the main component of Xiaoyao Wan, presents low oral bioavailability and unclear antidepressant mechanism. To elucidate the potential reasons for the low bioavailability of paeoniflorin and explore its antidepressant mechanism from the ...

Carboxylesterases: General detoxifying enzymes [PDF]
Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2016 Carboxylesterases (CE) are members of the esterase family of enzymes, and as their name suggests, they are responsible for the hydrolysis of carboxylesters into the corresponding alcohol and carboxylic acid. To date, no endogenous CE substrates have been identified and as such, these proteins are thought to act as a mechanism to detoxify ester ...

Reactivity of a Recombinant Esterase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 in Aqueous and Organic Media
Microorganisms, 2022 The thermoalkalophilic membrane-associated esterase E34Tt from Thermus thermophilus HB27 was cloned and expressed in Kluyveromyces lactis (KLEST-3S esterase). The recombinant enzyme was tested as a biocatalyst in aqueous and organic media. It displayed a
