Evidence of Calcium Signaling and Modulation of the LmrS Multidrug Resistant Efflux Pump Activity by Ca Ions in .

Calcium ions (Ca) play a pivotal role in eukaryote cell signaling and regulate many physiological functions. Although a similar role for Ca in prokaryotes has been difficult to demonstrate, there is increasing evidence for Ca as a cell regulator in bacteria. The purpose of this study was to investigate Ca signaling and the effect of Ca on the s multidrug resistant efflux pump LmrS.

Clopidogrel as a donor probe and thioenol derivatives as flexible promoieties for enabling HS biomedicine.

Hydrogen sulfide has emerged as a critical endogenous signaling transmitter and a potentially versatile therapeutic agent. The key challenges in this field include the lack of approved hydrogen sulfide-releasing probes for in human exploration and the lack of controllable hydrogen sulfide promoieties that can be flexibly installed for therapeutics development. Here we report the identification of the widely used antithrombotic drug clopidogrel as a clinical hydrogen sulfide donor.
