Influence of High-Pressure Compaction of Binary Mixtures on Solubility, Dissolution and Wettability of Borderline Poorly Soluble Drugs Employing Standard Excipients
(2021-12-14)
Many of new drug candidates are impaired by low aqueous solubility and slow dissolution rates, which may hinder their pharmacological response. Therefore, there is an increasing need to investigate and implement new ...
Influence of disulfide-bonds on structural and functional properties of peptides and proteins - Case studies on FXIIIa inhibitor tridegin and µ-conotoxin PIIIA
(2021-05-28)
Disulfide-bonded peptides have been studied for many decades serving as tools to investigate various biochemical pathways as well as lead structures for drug development for numerous diseases. Among these, the most fatal ...
Role of Endothelin-1 in the Brown Adipose Tissue
(2021-06-22)
ET-1 was shown to inhibit adipogenesis in murine mesenchymal stem cells derived from new-born brown adipose tissue in vitro and antagonism of Endothelin-1 (ET-1) signaling at the respective level of the Endothelin-1 receptor ...
The role of YAP signaling in thermogenic adiposetissues
(2021-01-02)
One of major metabolic organs, brown adipose tissue (BAT), is responsible for energy expenditure through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) mediated non-shivering thermogenesis, which has been considered a promising pharmacological ...
The role of Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors in adipocytes and adipose tissues
(2021-01-19)
Obesity is a worldwide health issue with increasing numbers of patients every year. Moreover, the prevalence of obesity gives rise to related cardiovascular diseases and various other comorbidities influencing quality of ...
Bindung, Funktion und Signalwegbevorzugung von orthosterischen, allosterischen und Hybridliganden vermittelt durch Wildtyp und punktmutierte muskarinische hM1-hM5-Rezeptoren
(2021-12-16)
Bislang war ungeklärt, ob der Arzneistoff Methantheliniumbromid (MB) (Vagantin®) mit muskarinischen Acetylcholinrezeptoren (hM-Rezeptoren) interagiert (Teilprojekt 1). In umfassenden Untersuchungen konnte erstmalig ......
Beeinflussung (steriler) entzündlicher Prozesse in Makrophagen durch lysosomotrope Arzneistoffe
(2021-05-14)
Inflammatorische Reaktionen und chronische Entzündungen sind mitunter die Hauptfaktoren für das Auftreten von Erkrankungen wie Psoriasis, rheumatoider Arthritis oder Morbus Crohn, wobei zahlreiche Komponenten des Immunsystems ......
Molecular pharmacological analysis of the human MrgD receptor: New insights into signaling
(2021-08-09)
Introduction: MrgD is a member of the MAS-related GPCRs family. It has been proposed to play roles in nociception and cardiovascular control. MrgD has been shown to couple to Gq, Gi, and Gs proteins. The ...
Funktionelle Untersuchungen des ABC-Transporters ABCG2
(2021-10-15)
Das Phänomen der Multidrug Resistance (MDR) stellt ein bedeutsames Problem bei der Behandlung von Tumoren mit Chemotherapeutika dar. Die ABC-Transporter ABCB1, ABCC1 und ABCG2 sind an der Entstehung der MDR beteiligt. ...
Synthesis, optimization, and characterization of chromen-4-one and 1,7-phenanthroline derivatives as ligands for the orphan G protein-coupled receptors 35 and 84
(2021-06-21)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are ideal drug targets. Their characteristic tissue distribution, marked ligand specificity, and their roles in countless (patho)physiological processes are being exploited by more than ...
