The First Broad-Spectrum Abscisic Acid Antagonist.
Changing from unsustainable to renewable agriculture requires boosting water-use efficiency in crops. Because abscisic acid (ABA) reinforces a plant’s capacity to withstand drought, the mode of action of this hormone has thus long attracted biophysicists, ecophysiologists, geneticists, and molecular biologists alike. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), 14 STARTdomain proteins compose the fam...
متن کاملAmifostine: the first selective-target and broad-spectrum radioprotector.
After several decades of preclinical and clinical research, the first approved radioprotective drug, amifostine, is being used in clinical practice. Amifostine has been shown to specifically protect normal tissues from damage caused by radiation and chemotherapy. An inactive prodrug, amifostine is converted to an active thiol by dephosphorylation by alkaline phosphatase in the normal endotheliu...
متن کاملTherapeutic Review Azithromycin
Azithromycin is a semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic representing the first of a subclass of macrolides classified as azalides. A relative newcomer to veterinary medicine azithromycin was first described in the late 1980s and differs from erythromycin by the insertion of a methyl-substituted nitrogen on the lactone ring at position 9a.1 This addition creates a 15-membered macrolide. The alterat...
متن کاملBroad-Spectrum Antiviral Therapeutics
Currently there are relatively few antiviral therapeutics, and most which do exist are highly pathogen-specific or have other disadvantages. We have developed a new broad-spectrum antiviral approach, dubbed Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) Activated Caspase Oligomerizer (DRACO) that selectively induces apoptosis in cells containing viral dsRNA, rapidly killing infected cells without harming uninfect...
متن کاملBroad-spectrum antiviral agents
Development of highly effective, broad-spectrum antiviral agents is the major objective shared by the fields of virology and pharmaceutics. Antiviral drug development has focused on targeting viral entry and replication, as well as modulating cellular defense system. High throughput screening of molecules, genetic engineering of peptides, and functional screening of agents have identified promi...
