Nucleic acid-binding polymers as anti-inflammatory agents.
Dead and dying cells release nucleic acids. These extracellular RNAs and DNAs can be taken up by inflammatory cells and activate multiple nucleic acid-sensing toll-like receptors (TLR3, 7, 8, and 9). The inappropriate activation of these TLRs can engender a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The redundancy of the TLR family encouraged us to seek materials that can neutralize the p...
متن کاملSinapic Acid Derivatives as Potential Anti-Inflammatory Agents: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation
Transcription factor NF-κB and relevant cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 play a pivotal role in thepathogenesis of inflammation. Sinapic acid is a natural product and was demonstrated to possessanti-inflammatory activity. In this paper, we synthesized a series of sinapic acid derivativesand evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects. The result suggested that all of the targetscompounds 7a-j inhibit NF-κ...

متن کاملThe Inhibition of Anti-DNA Binding to DNA by Nucleic Acid Binding Polymers
Antibodies to DNA (anti-DNA) are the serological hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and can mediate disease pathogenesis by the formation of immune complexes. Since blocking immune complex formation can attenuate disease manifestations, the effects of nucleic acid binding polymers (NABPs) on anti-DNA binding in vitro were investigated. The compounds tested included polyamidoamine de...
