Small molecule p300/catenin antagonist enhances hematopoietic recovery after radiation
There is currently no FDA approved therapeutic agent for ARS mitigation post radiation exposure. Here we report that the small molecule YH250, which specifically antagonizes p300/catenin interaction, stimulates hematopoiesis in lethally or sublethally irradiated mice. A single administration of YH250 24 hours post irradiation can significantly stimulate HSC proliferation, improve survival and a...
متن کاملA small molecule antagonist of ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT).
Using our recently disclosed fluorescence-based assay to monitor acyltransferase activity, the first non-peptidic, small molecule antagonists of ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT), a potential anti-obesity and anti-diabetes target, have been discovered. Each exhibits micromolar inhibition of the enzyme, and may be useful probes for future study of the ghrelin-GOAT system.
متن کاملIdentification of a small-molecule, nonpeptide macrophage scavenger receptor antagonist.
Class A scavenger receptor (SR-A) antagonists may prevent the initiation of atherosclerosis, because a recent report found that SR-A/apolipoprotein E (apoE) double-knockout mice had 60% smaller lesions than apoE single-knockout littermates. We transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells with SR-A type I or II receptors to find small-molecule antagonists. Uptake of 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3'...
متن کاملSurfen, a small molecule antagonist of heparan sulfate.
In a search for small molecule antagonists of heparan sulfate, we examined the activity of bis-2-methyl-4-amino-quinolyl-6-carbamide, also known as surfen. Fluorescence-based titrations indicated that surfen bound to glycosaminoglycans, and the extent of binding increased according to charge density in the order heparin > dermatan sulfate > heparan sulfate > chondroitin sulfate. All charged gro...
متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...
