Discovery of small-molecule inhibitors of tyrosinase.
To identify novel inhibitors of tyrosinase, a fluorescent assay was developed which is suitable for high-throughput screening. In the assay, oxidation of the substrate by tyrosinase leads to the release of a fluorescent coumarin. Several small molecules were identified that inhibited mushroom tyrosinase in vitro and human tyrosinase in cell culture. These compounds may represent lead structures...
متن کاملDiscovery of selective small-molecule CD80 inhibitors.
Protein-protein interactions are widely found in biological systems controlling diverse cellular events. Because these interactions are implicated in many diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer, regulation of protein-protein interactions provides ideal targets for drug intervention. The CD80-CD28 costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in regulation of the immune response and thus constit...
متن کاملDiscovery of small molecule CXCR4 antagonists.
In light of a proposed molecular mechanism for the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) antagonist 1 (AMD3100), a template with the general structure 2 was designed, and 15 was identified as a lead by means of an affinity binding assay against the ligand-mimicking CXCR4 antagonist 3 (TN14003). Following a structure-activity profile around 15, the design and synthesis of a series of novel sma...
متن کاملDiscovery of small molecule inhibitors of MyD88-dependent signaling pathways using a computational screen
In this study, we used high-throughput computational screening to discover drug-like inhibitors of the host MyD88 protein-protein signaling interaction implicated in the potentially lethal immune response associated with Staphylococcal enterotoxins. We built a protein-protein dimeric docking model of the Toll-interleukin receptor (TIR)-domain of MyD88 and identified a binding site for docking s...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Small-Molecule Modulator of Glycosaminoglycan Sulfation.
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play critical roles in diverse processes ranging from viral infection to neuroregeneration. Their regiospecific sulfation patterns, which are generated by sulfotransferases, are key structural determinants that underlie their biological activity. Small-molecule modulators of these sulfotransferases could serve as powerful tools for understanding the physiological funct...
