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 ...
Mapping the immune landscape in the alveolar space reveals alterations of multiple macrophage states in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(2021-03-26)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked among the three leading causes of death worldwide and hence constitutes a significant burden, both medically and financially. The disease is characterized by a poorly ...
Improving solubility and supersaturation of poorly soluble drugs using solid dispersions based on natural polymers and mixtures thereof
(2021-05-19)
The poor solubility of existing drug substances and new chemical entities is a problem in modern pharmaceutical development. There are various strategies to overcome the solubility limited bioavailability of poorly soluble ...
Design, Synthesis and Structure-Activity-Relationships of Potent Mas-Related G Protein-Coupled Receptor X (MRGPRX) Modulators
(2021-04-12)
The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily with more than 800 members is one of the most important target classes for drug development. After an agonist binds to the receptor, it induces a conformational change ......
Neuroinvasion and cerebral ischemia as possible sources for α-synuclein prions in Parkinson’s disease
(2021-07-13)
In synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease misfolding of α-synuclein, normally a cellular and soluble protein, leads to the accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates and to central nervous system disease (CNS). ...
Implementation of the novel high-throughput Fungal Isolation one step Device method FIND and secondary metabolite extraction from the isolate Heydenia cf. alpina
(2021-07-13)
Fungi are an important source of bioactive metabolites. The cultivation of source organisms is a crucial step in natural product isolation. With standard isolation methods for fungi it is difficult to isolate rare und ...
Functional markers for cerebral norepinephrine deficiency in Alzheimer's disease
(2021-02-17)
Pathological alterations of the locus coeruleus (LC)-norepinephrine (NE) system occur early in the course of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and manifest in poor attention and distractibility. Cortical NE is released from the ...
AHRD: Automatically Annotate Proteins with Human Readable Descriptions and Gene Ontology Terms
(2021-10-05)
In the postgenomic era it is impossible to annotate the majority of new proteins in any other way than with computational methods. Our tool AHRD automatically annotates proteins with human readable descriptions and Gene ...
Untersuchung der molekularen Mechanismen einer intrinsischen sowie Matrix-vermittelten Cisplatinresistenz in W1 Ovarialkarzinomzellen
(2021-06-01)
Die Resistenzbildung von Tumoren gegen antineoplastische Medikamente bildet das Haupthindernis der klinischen Behandlung von Krebserkrankungen und unterstreicht die dringende Notwendigkeit, innovative Therapien zu entwickeln. ...
