Abstract Protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A3 (PTP4A3 or PRL-3) is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, where it promotes tumor cell migration and metastasis leading to poor prognosis. Despite its clinical significance, small molecule inhibitors PRL-3 are lacking. Here, we screened 1443 FDA-approved drugs for their ability inhibit the activity PRL family. We identified five specific as well one selective inhibitor PRL-2. Additionally, found nine that broadly significantly suppressed...
2,3,9,10-Substituted pentacene tetraesters and diester-dinitriles were synthesized. These derivatives underwent an unusual solid state [4 + 4] thermal dimerization with good efficiency complete stereoselectivity. This observation indicates this series of adopt π–π stacking geometry large mutual overlap in state. notion was confirmed by molecualr dynamic simulation.
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) have emerged as targets in diseases characterized by aberrant phosphorylations such cancers. The activity of the phosphatase regenerating liver 3, PRL3, has been linked to several oncogenic and metastatic pathways, particularly breast, ovarian, colorectal, blood Development small molecules that directly target however, challenging. This is partly due lack structural information on how PRL3 interacts with its inhibitors. Here, computational methods are used...
Biliverdin IXβ reductase (BLVRB) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for thrombocytopenia due to its involvement in reactive oxygen species (ROS) mechanisms. During the pursuit of inhibitors targeting BLVRB, olsalazine (OSA) became apparent one most potent candidates. However, direct application OSA BLVRB inhibitor faces challenges, it is prone degradation into 5-aminosalicylic acid through cleavage diazenyl bond by abundant azoreductase (AzoR) enzymes gut microbiota and eukaryotic...
ABSTRACT Protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A3 (PTP4A3 or PRL-3) is highly expressed in a variety of cancers, where it promotes tumor cell migration and metastasis leading to poor prognosis. Despite its clinical significance, there are currently no viable options target PRL-3 vivo . Here, we screened 1,443 FDA-approved drugs for their ability inhibit the activity PRL family. We identified five specific inhibitors as well one selective inhibitor PRL-2. Additionally, found nine that broadly...
Abstract Due to their active roles in regulating phosphorylations, protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) have emerged as attractive targets diseases characterized by aberrant phosphorylations such cancers. The activity of the phosphatase regenerating liver 3, PRL3, has been linked several oncogenic and metastatic pathways, particularly breast, ovarian, colorectal, blood Development small molecules that directly target however, challenging. This is partly due lack structural information on how...
Carrageenan gelation is characterized by a coil-to-helix transition. The conformation the polymer adopts in solution, however, not yet fully understood at molecular level. Here, dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out on two possible conformations of ι-carrageenan hexamers – single helix and double helix. All-atom using Carbohydrate Solution Force Field (CSFF) explicit water (SPC). Dihedral angle distributions from individual chains compared revealing similarity between these...
