Lipophilic prodrugs of nucleoside triphosphates as biochemical probes and potential antivirals

Nature Communications, 2015
The antiviral activity of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors is often limited by ineffective phosphorylation. We report on a nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) prodrug approach in which the γ-phosphate of NTPs is bioreversibly modified.

A Straightforward Diphenylmethyl Protection Method and Deprotection of Some Pyrimidine Nucleosides

Molecules, 2013
Benzhydryl protection of primary and secondary alcohols has been reported previously via reaction with metal alcoholates. Our aim was to find generally useful and very mild conditions for the alcoholic protection and deprotection of nucleosides with the ...

Biocatalytic approaches applied to the synthesis of nucleoside prodrugs.

Biotechnology Advances, 2015
Nucleosides are valuable bioactive molecules, which display antiviral and antitumour activities. Diverse types of prodrugs are designed to enhance their therapeutic efficacy, however this strategy faces the troublesome selectivity issues of nucleoside ...

Dual Action of Dipyridamole in Experimental Rheumatoid Arthritis: Suppression of Joint Inflammation and Upregulation of Muscle Anabolism via Adenosine and AMPK pathways

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Introduction Rheumatoid sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, is a frequent comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), linked to prolonged, severe systemic inflammation. Purinergic signaling (adenosine, AMP, and ATP) plays a crucial role in inflammation, myogenesis, and muscle hypertrophy.

Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase activity as a potential predictor of methotrexate remission in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Methotrexate (MTX) is the first‐line therapy for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but up to 40% of patients don't respond. Low inosine‐triphosphate‐pyrophosphatase (ITPA) activity has been associated with reduced clinical remission. We investigated ITPA role and the underlying mechanisms in vitro.

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

Effect of developmental changes on pharmacokinetics of drugs used in the treatment of infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia—A comprehensive review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
While the event‐free survival (EFS) of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved greatly in the last decades, the EFS for patients diagnosed with ALL before the age of one is still under 50%. This outcome further decreases when infants have a rearrangement in the gene encoding histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A ...

Pharmacokinetics of dolutegravir, tenofovir and lamivudine during venous–venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV‐ECMO): A case report

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
While providing potentially life‐saving cardiorespiratory support for critically ill patients, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may detrimentally affect pharmacokinetic (PK) performance and concurrent drug efficacy and safety. We describe a patient with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) in the context of acquired immunodeficiency ...

Covalent Attachment of a Platinum(II) Complex inside DNA Duplexes

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Oxidative addition is used for the site‐specific incorporation of an organometallic PtII complex as an artificial nucleobase into a DNA duplex. The platination stabilizes the duplex and confers it with phosphorescence. An organometallic phosphorescent PtII complex is introduced into DNA duplexes via oxidative addition to a tailor‐made artificial ...
