An intracellular recombinant single‐chain variable antibody fragment as a new class of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

USING UML SCENARIOS IN B2B SYSTEMS

International Islamic University Malaysia Engineering Journal, 2010
Scenarios has become a popular technique for requirements elicitation and specification building. Since scenarios capture only partial descriptions of the system behavior, an approach for scenario composition and/or integration is needed to produce more ...

Synergistic antiviral activity against human adenovirus through combination of itraconazole and brincidofovir

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Human adenovirus (HAdV) causes respiratory or gastrointestinal tract infections depending on the virus subtype. While HAdV infections are generally self‐limiting in immunocompetent people, they can result in significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised adults and children.

Divergence in μ and δ opioid receptor pharmacology in neurons and antinociceptive efficacy in neuropathic pain: Insights from MP135 and CYM51010

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and purpose Opioids targeting the μ opioid receptor remain largely ineffective in neuropathic pain conditions, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic strategies. MP135 was reported to reduce thermal nociception in naive animals by activating μ‐δ opioid receptor heteromers.

Profiling of HCAR1 signalling reveals Gαi/o and Gαs activation without β‐arrestin recruitment and the discovery of an allosteric agonist

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Lactate, historically viewed as a metabolic by‐product, has emerged as a signalling molecule via the G protein–coupled receptor Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 1 (HCAR1). The receptor is primarily expressed in adipocytes but also found in various other tissues.

Human FASTK preferentially binds single‐stranded and G‐rich RNA

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Although FASTK is known to play a role in mRNA biology, the mechanism through which it recognizes RNA has yet to be unraveled. Here, we used purified human FASTK to characterize its RNA‐binding properties in vitro. We found that FASTK prefers ssRNA oligonucleotides containing guanines with the potential to form G‐quadruplexes and binds robustly to any ...
