Supramolecular Nanorods of (N-Methylpyridyl) Porphyrin With Captisol: Effective Photosensitizer for Anti-bacterial and Anti-tumor Activitie
42 views | Aug 05 2019
Khurana R et al. indicatted that all these synergistic effects of supramolecular nanorods of Captisol-TMPyP complex make the system an effective photosensitizer and a superior antibacterial and antitumor agent. [Read the Full Post]
Associated-Extraction Efficiency of Six Cyclodextrins on Various Flavonoids in Puerariae Lobatae Radix
41 views | Jul 05 2019
Feng T et al. indicated that CDs, especially SBE-β-CD, have a promising application for the associated-extraction of flavonoids from PLR. [Read the Full Post]
In Vitro Activity of Sitafloxacin and Additional Newer Generation Fluoroquinolones Against Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae Isolates
44 views | Jul 01 2019
Hamasuna R et al. indicated that sitafloxacin should not be considered for empirical first-line monotherapy of gonorrhea. However, sitafloxacin could be valuable in a dual antimicrobial therapy and for cases with ceftriaxone resistance or allergy. [Read the Full Post]
Puromycin reaction for the A site-bound peptidyl-tRNA
60 views | Jun 16 2019
Semenkov Yu et al. indicated that the transpeptidation reaction per se triggers conformational changes in the ribosomal complex bringing the 3'-end of a newly synthesized peptidyl-tRNA nearer to the peptidyl-site of the peptidyltransferase center. This is detected functionally as the ability of such an A site bound peptidyl-tRNA to react with puromycin. This reaction is highly pronounced at elevated (25 degrees C) temperature but can be hardly detected at 0 degrees C. [Read the Full Post]
MK2206 enhances the cytocidal effects of bufalin in multiple myeloma by inhibiting the AKT/mTOR pathway
126 views | Jan 11 2019
Xiang RF et al. suggested that MK2206 significantly enhanced the cytocidal effects of bufalin in MM cells, regardless of the sensitivity to bortezomib, via the inhibition of the AKT/mTOR pathway. The study provided the basis of a promising treatment approach for MM. [Read the Full Post]
Micafungin-Induced Suicidal Erythrocyte Death
185 views | Nov 14 2018
Peter T et al. showed effect of Micafungin on annexin-V-binding was not significantly modified by removal of extracellular Ca2+, by PKC inhibitor staurosporine (1 µM), p38 kinase inhibitor SB203580 (2 µM), casein kinase 1α inhibitor D4476 (10 µM) or pancaspase inhibitor zVAD (10 µM).

Smac mimetic with TNF-α targets Pim-1 isoforms and reactive oxygen species production to abrogate transformation from blebbishields
486 views | Oct 29 2018
Jinesh GG et al. demonstrated that Smac mimetic in combination with TNF-α is an ideal candidate to target Pim-1 expression, inhibit ROS production and to block transformation from blebbishields. [Read the Full Post]
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of rapidly growing mycobacteria isolated in Japan
237 views | Oct 28 2018
Hatakeyama S et al. demonstrated the importance of correct identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing, including the testing of potential new agents, in the management of RGM infections. [Read the Full Post]
Inhibition of Histone Deacetylase Activity Aggravates Coxsackievirus B3-Induced Myocarditis by Promoting Viral Replication and Myocardial Apoptosis
240 views | Sep 08 2018
Zhou L et al. found inhibition of HDAC activity enhanced myocardial autophagosome formation, which led to the elevated CVB3 viral replication and ensuing increased myocardial apoptosis. [Read the Full Post]
In silico prediction and in vitro and in vivo validation of acaricide fluazuron as a potential inhibitor of FGFR3 and a candidate anticancer drug for bladder carcinoma
498 views | Apr 20 2018
Ke K et al. suggested for the first time that fluazuron is a potential inhibitor of FGFR3 and a candidate anticancer drug for the treatment of BC. [Read the Full Post]
