Bile Duct Ligation Upregulates Expression and Function of L-Amino Acid Transporter 1 at Blood–Brain Barrier of Rats via Activation of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor by Bilirubin

Biomedicines, 2021
Liver failure is associated with increased levels of brain aromatic amino acids (AAAs), whose transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is mainly mediated by L-amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1). We aimed to investigate whether liver failure induced by

Macrophage-dependent clearance of systemically administered B16BL6-derived exosomes from the blood circulation in mice [PDF]

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2015
Previous studies using B16BL6-derived exosomes labelled with gLuc–lactadherin (gLuc-LA), a fusion protein of Gaussia luciferase (a reporter protein) and lactadherin (an exosome-tropic protein), showed that the exosomes quickly disappeared from the ...

The biological fate of the polymer nanocarrier material monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(d,l-lactic acid) in rat

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021
Monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PEG-PLA) is a typical amphiphilic di-block copolymer widely used as a nanoparticle carrier (nanocarrier) in drug delivery.

Drug metabolism in drug discovery and development

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2018
Drug metabolism as a discipline plays an important role in drug discovery and development and the effects of drug metabolism on pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety should be carefully considered.

Metabolomics to unveil and understand phenotypic diversity between pathogen populations [PDF]

, 2010
Visceral leishmaniasis is caused by a parasite called Leishmania donovani, which every year infects about half a million people and claims several thousand lives. Existing treatments are now becoming less effective due to the emergence of drug resistance.

Structure-guided and phage-assisted evolution of a therapeutic anti-EGFR antibody to reverse acquired resistance

Nature Communications, 2022
Acquired resistance to cetuximab can be mediated by generation of mutations in the EGFR ectodomain. Here the authors report a structure-guided and phage-assisted evolution approach for cetuximab evolution to reverse resistance without altering the ...

SwissADME: a free web tool to evaluate pharmacokinetics, drug-likeness and medicinal chemistry friendliness of small molecules

Scientific Reports, 2017
To be effective as a drug, a potent molecule must reach its target in the body in sufficient concentration, and stay there in a bioactive form long enough for the expected biologic events to occur.
