The Effects of Neurosteroids, such as Pregnenolone Sulfate and its receptor, TrpM3 in the Retina. [PDF]

, 2019
Pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) is the precursor to all steroid hormones and is produced in neurons in an activity dependent manner. Studies have shown that PregS production is upregulated during certain critical periods of development, such as in the first

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Ivermectin Toxicity in Humans and Animals: Clinical Spectrum, Mechanisms, and Management

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ivermectin is a widely used macrocyclic lactone with established efficacy against a broad range of parasitic infections in humans and animals and a long‐standing reputation for clinical safety. However, increasing evidence indicates that ivermectin can produce clinically relevant toxicity under specific conditions, particularly involving the ...

Mass Spectrometry Structural Proteomics Enabled by Limited Proteolysis and Cross‐Linking

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of protein structure and function stands at the forefront of life science and represents an ever‐expanding focus in the development of proteomics. As mass spectrometry (MS) offers readout of protein conformational changes at both the protein and peptide levels, MS‐based structural proteomics is making significant strides in the

Smart Integration of Structural Biology and Medicinal Chemistry to Unlock Target‐Driven Drug Discovery

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance drug discovery efforts, medicinal chemists should evaluate, filter, and utilize relevant structural information about target proteins. Acquiring and interpreting protein structures is crucial for elucidating ligand‐receptor interactions and addressing ADME‐related considerations, making it an essential aspect of medicinal chemistry.

Disarming the Hsp70–Bim Alliance: Small‐Molecule and Peptidic Disruptors of a Chaperone‐Apoptotic Switch in Cancer

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Targeting a nucleotide‐sensitive groove on Hsp70 that binds the Bim BH3 helix, we integrate structures, biophysics, and SAR from peptides, fragments, and phenalene‐dicarbonitrile “wedges.” These disrupt the Hsp70–Bim complex with sub‐µM cellular engagement and in vivo activity while sparing Hsp90/mortalin.

Bi-directional allosteric pathway in NMDA receptor activation and modulation

Nature Communications
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ionotropic glutamate receptors involved in learning and memory. NMDA receptors primarily comprise two GluN1 and two GluN2 subunits. The GluN2 subunit dictates biophysical receptor properties, including the extent

Allosteric Regulation of RNA Affinity by Motif V‐VI Coupling in West Nile Virus NS3 Helicase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rise of flaviviral diseases, including West Nile virus (WNV), presents a growing threat to global public health and underscores the urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. The non‐structural protein 3 helicase (NS3h) of the Orthoflavivirus genus, including WNV, is essential for viral replication and a promising antiviral target ...

AlphaFold2‐Guided Cyclic Peptide Stabilizer Design to Target Protein–Protein Interactions

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The control and modulation of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is of central importance for the majority of biological processes and most biomedical applications. Stabilization of PPIs, besides inhibition, is of growing pharmaceutical interest.
