Fluorophore-coupled bile acids (BA) represent an important tool for intravital analysis of BA flux in animal models of cholestatic diseases. However, addition of a fluorophore to a BA may alter transport properties. We developed and validated a 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-coupled taurocholic acid (3β-NBD-TCA) as a probe for intravital analysis of BA homeostasis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Currently, there are no selective inhibitors for EphA4, but researchers have identified peptide antagonists that block ephrin ligand binding to EphA4, notably the cyclic APY-d3 peptide.
  • * Two modified versions of APY-d3, lipidated APY-d3-laur8 and PEGylated APY-d3-PEG4, show increased stability in circulation and effectively inhibit EphA4 activation, positioning them as valuable tools for studying and testing EphA4 inhibition in disease models.
