Anion mediated activation of guanidine rich small molecules.

چکیده
Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) and their synthetic analogs are of widespread interest. Here we report that guanidine rich small molecules can be potential membrane transporters in the presence of hydrophobic counteranion activators. To our knowledge, this is the first example of small molecules that mimic the anion-activated transport function of CPP.

Recent Advances in T Cell Signaling in Aging
The immune system of mammalian organisms undergoes alterations that may account for an increased susceptibility to certain infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. Well characterized are age related defect in T cell functions and cell mediated immunity. Although it is well established that the functional properties of T cells decrease with age, its biochemical and molecular nature is...
متن کاملUnconventional Bifunctional Lewis-Brønsted Acid Activation Mode in Bicyclic Guanidine-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition Reactions.
DFT calculations have demonstrated that the unconventional bifunctional Brønsted-Lewis acid activation mode is generally applicable to a range of nucleophilic conjugate additions catalyzed by bicyclic guanidine catalysts. It competes readily with the conventional bifunctional Brønsted acid mode of activation. The optimal pro-nucleophiles for this unconventional bifunctional activation are acidi...
متن کاملP122: Small Molecules as Chemical and Pharmacological Tools for Neuroinflammatory Diseases Treatment (with Emphasis on Multiple Sclerosis)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease resulting in degeneration of the myelin sheaths and death of oligodendrocytes. So far, several strategies have been introduced to control the disease. Treatment with small molecules is one of the strategies that have recently attracted the attention in the scientific community. These molecules that target epigenetic and other cellular proce...
متن کاملActivation of microglia depends on Na+/H+ exchange-mediated H+ homeostasis.
H(+) extrusion is important for sustained NADPH oxidase activation after "respiratory" burst in macrophage/microglia activation. In this study, we investigated the role of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger isoform 1 (NHE-1) in activation of microglia after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/REOX) exposure. NHE-1 functioned in maintaining basal pH(i) of immortal...
متن کاملLarge-scale purification and characterization of the major phosphoproteins and mucins of human submandibular-sublingual saliva.
The major components of human submandibular-sublingual saliva (HSMSL) are mucins, amylases, cystatins, proline-rich proteins and statherin. Structure-function studies of these molecules have been hampered by the small amounts of purified materials that can be isolated from human secretions. The present study describes an integrated purification protocol for the large-scale preparation of many o...
