We describe a novel, simple, robust, and efficient cyclization/deoxygenation approach for the synthesis of functionalized isoquinoline derivatives. Over the course of continued studies on o-alkynylbenzaldoxime cyclization reactions, the formation of ...

Adjuvant DNA vaccine pNMM promotes enhanced specific immunity and anti-tumor effects
DNA vaccines containing only antigenic components have limited efficacy and may fail to induce effective immune responses. Consequently, adjuvant molecules are often added to enhance immunogenicity.

Total wash elimination for solid phase peptide synthesis
We present a process for solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) that completely eliminates all solvent intensive washing steps during each amino acid addition cycle.

Peptide Vaccines in Melanoma: Chemical Approaches towards Improved Immunotherapeutic Efficacy
Cancer of the skin is by far the most common of all cancers. Although the incidence of melanoma is relatively low among skin cancers, it can account for a high number of skin cancer deaths.

Activation of the adipocyte CREB/CRTC pathway in obesity
Yoon et al show that a high fat diet in mice activates the CREB/CRTC pathway in adipocytes by decreasing the expression of Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2), a Ser/Thr kinase that otherwise phosphorylates and sequesters CREB coactivators in the cytoplasm ...

Quantifying systemic molecular networks affected during high altitude de-acclimatization
High altitude acclimatization and disease have been the centerpiece of investigations concerning human health at high altitude. Almost all investigations have focused on either understanding and ameliorating high altitude disease or finding better ...

Evaluation of a PACAP Peptide Analogue Labeled with (68)Ga Using Two Different Chelating Agents. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The authors have conjugated chelating agents (DOTA and NODAGA) with a peptide (pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide [PACAP] analogue) that has a high affinity for VPAC1 receptors expressed on cancer cells.

Cholesterol-directed nanoparticle assemblies based on single amino acid peptide mutations activate cellular uptake and decrease tumor volume. [PDF]
Peptide drugs have been difficult to translate into effective therapies due to their low in vivo stability. Here, we report a strategy to develop peptide-based therapeutic nanoparticles by screening a peptide library differing by single-site amino acid ...
