Abstract While efforts to identify microglial subtypes have recently accelerated, the relation of transcriptomically defined states function has been largely limited in silico annotations. Here, we characterize a set pharmacological compounds that proposed polarize human microglia towards two distinct – one enriched for AD and MS genes another characterized by increased expression antigen presentation genes. Using different model systems including HMC3 cells, iPSC-derived cerebral organoids,...
The covalent inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by organophosphate compounds (OPCs) prevents the hydrolysis neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, and results in overstimulation muscarinic nicotinic receptors leading to severe cholinergic crisis. To treat toxic exposure OPCs, focus has been on using reactivator (e.g., oximes) reverse adduct formation enzyme’s active site, release regenerated, form AChE. However, interaction between OPC inhibitor enzyme is usually followed a secondary...
The lymphoid tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp, PTPN22) is a critical negative regulator of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) signaling. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the ptpn22 gene correlates with incidence various autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Since disease-associated allele more potent inhibitor TCR signaling, specific Lyp inhibitors may become valuable treating autoimmunity. Using structure-based approach, we...
Equilibrative transporters are potential drug targets; however, most functional assays involve radioactive substrate uptake that is unsuitable for high-throughput screens (HTS). We developed a robust yeast-based growth assay potentially applicable to many equilibrative transporters. As proof of principle, we applied our approach Nucleoside Transporter 1 the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum (PfENT1). PfENT1 inhibitors might serve as novel antimalarial drugs since PfENT1-mediated purine...
Severe bronchospasm refractory to β-agonists continues cause significant morbidity and mortality in asthmatic patients. We questioned whether chloride channels/transporters are novel targets for the relaxation of airway smooth muscle (ASM). have screened a library compounds, derivatives anthranilic indanyloxyacetic acid, that were originally developed antagonize channels kidney. hypothesized members this would be calcium-activated channel blockers airway. The initial screen compound...
A novel generation of indole-2,3-quinodimethanes via the deamination 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrrolo[s3,4-b]indoles is reported.

In the title compound, C14H9I2NO2S, two I atoms lie essentially in plane of indole ring and there is some iodine–iodine repulsion.

Elevation and accumulation of amyloid b-peptide (Ab) are hallmark pathological characteristics Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in animal models patients. The production Ab is mediated by cleavage precursor protein (APP) two proteolytic enzymes, b-site cleaving enzyme (BACE1) γ-secretase. Recent work has identified a mutation close proximity to the BACE1 site APP rendering those who bear resistant AD age-associated cognitive decline. This indicates seminal for risk progression, validates promise...
