There is an unmet need in severe asthma where approximately 40% of patients exhibit poor beta-agonist responsiveness, suffer daily symptoms and show frequent exacerbations. Antagonists the Ca2+-activated-Cl¯ channel, TMEM16A, offers a new mechanism to bronchodilate airways block multiple contractiles operating disease. To identify TMEM16A antagonists we screened library ~580,000 compounds. The anthelmintics niclosamide, nitazoxanide related compounds were identified as potent that blocked...
Abstract CD11c, a member of the leukointegrin family, is expressed prominently on tissue macrophages and dendritic cells binds to complement fragment (iC3b), provisional matrix molecules (fibrinogen), Ig superfamily cell adhesion molecule, ICAM-1.
