Thiopurine Drugs Repositioned as Tyrosinase Inhibitors
Drug repositioning is the application of the existing drugs to new uses and has the potential to reduce the time and cost required for the typical drug discovery process. In this study, we repositioned thiopurine drugs used for the treatment of acute leukaemia as new tyrosinase inhibitors. Tyrosinase catalyses two successive oxidations in melanin biosynthesis: the conversions of tyrosine to dih...
متن کاملBlimp-1 directly represses Il2 and the Il2 activator Fos, attenuating T cell proliferation and survival
Mice with a T cell-specific deletion of Prdm1, encoding Blimp-1, have aberrant T cell homeostasis and develop fatal colitis. In this study, we show that one critical activity of Blimp-1 in T cells is to repress IL-2, and that it does so by direct repression of Il2 transcription, and also by repression of Fos transcription. Using these mechanisms Blimp-1 participates in an autoregulatory loop by...
متن کاملThe apically repositioned flap in tooth exposure.
Methods of exposing impacted teeth in order to bring them into the line of the arch include gingivectomy, the apically repositioned flap and closed eruption techniques. These procedures aim to facilitate the eruption of the impacted tooth with a minimum of disruption or damage to the tooth itself or adjacent structures. The aim of this paper is to discuss the various surgical methods of exposin...
متن کامل1 Thiopurine Drugs Repositioned as Tyrosinase 2 Inhibitors 3
In this study, we repositioned thiopurine drugs used for the treatment of acute 12 leukaemia as new tyrosinase inhibitors. Tyrosinase catalyses two distinct and successive 13 oxidations in melanin biosynthesis: the conversions of tyrosine to dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) 14 and DOPA to dopaquinone. Continuous efforts are underway to discover small molecule 15 inhibitors of tyrosinase for therap...
متن کاملThe structure of IL2 bound to the three chains of the IL2 receptor and how signaling occurs
The interleukin-2 molecule and receptor were the first of the interleukins to be discovered and characterized at the molecular level. Now after 20 years of effort, two groups have succeeded in determining the structure of IL2 bound to the external domains of the three receptor chains in a quaternary complex. What do we know now that we did not know before this structural information was availab...
