The host cell serine protease TMPRSS2 is an attractive therapeutic target for COVID-19 drug discovery. This activates the Spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and other coronaviruses essential viral spread in lung. Utilizing rational structure-based design (SBDD) coupled to substrate specificity screening TMPRSS2, we have discovered covalent small-molecule ketobenzothiazole (kbt) inhibitors which are structurally distinct from significantly improved...
Tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells contribute to the development of immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Myeloid cell expression arginase 1 (ARG1) promotes a protumor phenotype by inhibiting T function and depleting extracellular l-arginine, but mechanism underlying this expression, especially in breast cancer, is poorly understood. In cancer clinical samples our mouse models, we identified tumor-derived GM-CSF as primary regulator ARG1 local immune suppression through gene-KO screen...
Abstract Most cancer patients succumb to disseminated disease because conventional systemic therapies lack spatiotemporal control of their toxic effects in vivo, particularly a complicated milieu such as bone marrow where progenitor stem cells reside. Here, we demonstrate the treatment by photoactivatable drugs using radiopharmaceuticals. An orthogonal-targeting strategy and contact-facilitated nanomicelle technology enabled highly selective delivery co-localization titanocene radiolabelled...
Bankura district has long cultural heritage in making of beautiful and world-famous handicrafts. Terracotta, Dokra, Stone Curving, Wood Weaving is few examples among them. But besides these well-known handicrafts, ‘Singing Bowl’ remains unsung to everybody. It an outstanding handicraft alloy at various places this the state West Bengal. This bowl can have made from bell brass metal. In past, bowls were use worships God, for holistic rituals, domestic use. presently using medical sound...
Ti-catalyzed alkyne diamination and hydrohydrazination proceed through a common N-aminoazatitanacyclobutene intermediate. These reactions have historically existed as processes catalyzed by distinct molecular Ti compounds, with several reports for only single example diamination. Here, we demonstrate that diamidoamine catalyst, (NNN)Ti(═NNR2) (1, (NNN)H2 = N-methyl-N',N″-bis(trimethylsilyl)diethylenetriamine; R alkyl, aryl), is capable of catalyzing both hydrohydrazination, where the...
Generation of a CD8(+) response to extracellular antigen requires processing the by presenting cells (APC) and cross-presentation T cell receptors via MHC class I molecules. Cross-presentation is facilitated efficient uptake followed immune-complex-mediated maturation APCs. We hypothesize that improved glycopeptide sequence containing epitope could be achieved delivering it on liposome surface decorated with an immune complex-targeting ligand, l-Rhamnose (Rha) epitope. synthesized...
Utilizing natural antibodies to augment vaccine immunogenicity is a promising approach toward cancer immunotherapy. Anti-rhamnose (anti-Rha) are some of the most common anti-carbohydrate present in human serum. Therefore, rhamnose can be utilized as targeting moiety for rhamnose-containing prepare an effective formulation. It was shown previously that anti-Rha antibody generated mice binds effectively with Rha-conjugated and picked up by antigen presenting cells (APCs) through stimulatory Fc...
Abstract Upregulation of the HGF and MSP growth‐factor processing serine endopeptidases HGFA, matriptase hepsin is correlated with increased metastasis in multiple tumor types driven by c‐MET or RON kinase signaling. We rationally designed P1’ α‐ketobenzothiazole mechanism‐based inhibitors these proteases. Structure–activity studies are presented, which resulted identification potent differential selectivity. The tetrapeptide span P1–P1’ substrate cleavage site via a amide linker off...
Terminal imido complexes containing metal–nitrogen multiple bonds have been widely used in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. The role of terminal ligands spans from reactive sites to spectator motifs, largely depending on the nature metal center its specific coordination sphere. Aiming at identifying reactivity descriptors for M–N bonds, we herein explore solid-state 15N NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) early transition augmented by computational studies show that asymmetry...

Dengue, a mosquito-borne disease caused by flavivirus, is recognized in over 120 countries with 3.6 billion people living areas at risk. Neurological manifestations are infrequently reported as clinical consequences of dengue infection. Though severe may be associated meningoencephalitis, meningitis rare initial presentation otherwise uncomplicated fever. We report two adult patients who presented fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity without the typical symptoms Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...
Matriptase and hepsin belong to the family of type II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs). Increased activity these plasma protease, hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA), is associated with unregulated cell signaling tumor progression through increased MET RON kinase pathways. These are highly expressed in multiple solid tumors hematological malignancies. Herein, we detail synthesis structure–activity relationships (SAR) a dipeptide library bearing Arg α-ketobenozothiazole (kbt)...

There exists several natural instances in which systems may undergo through local degradation of its constituting elements. This severely affect the overall dynamical activity unexpected ways. So, it requires to overcome such situations while posing some appropriate mechanisms. In this work we investigate aging networks comprising different groups units coupled locally, non-locally or globally. We provide a mechanism that deals with asymmetry interaction active and inactive enhance...
Abstract Interactions of light-sensitive drugs and materials with Cerenkov radiation-emitting radiopharmaceuticals generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to inhibit localized disseminated cancer progression, but the cell death mechanisms underlying this radionuclide stimulated dynamic therapy (RaST) remain elusive. Using ROS-regenerative nanophotosensitizers coated a tumor-targeting transferrin-titanocene complex (TiO2-TC-Tf) radiolabeled 2-fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG), we found that...
A strategy for the solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) and coupling of N-peptidyl N-glycopeptidyl 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonamides (dNBS) with C-terminal peptidyl thioacids has been developed. The resulting N-dDNBS peptides were coupled to generate longer peptides. Ligation reactions complete within 15 20 min.
Background Conjugation of transferrin (Tf) to imaging or nanotherapeutic agents is a promising strategy target breast cancer. Since the efficacy these biomaterials often depends on overexpression targeted receptor, we set out survey expression receptor (TfR) in primary and metastatic cancer samples, including metastases relapse, investigate its modulation experimental models. Methods Gene was investigated by datamining twelve publicly-available datasets. Dedicated Tissue microarrays (TMAs)...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is a common in developing countries, including India. It can induce several cutaneous reactions such as erythema nodosum, and induratum; however, association of with Sweet’s syndrome (also known acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis) extremely rare. Here we present an interesting case sputum-positive pulmonary syndrome. A 55-year-old female who was receiving regimen four antitubercular drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol- HRZE) for six...
