Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1- or 2-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate) displays an intriguing cell biology that is mediated via interactions both with G-protein coupled seven transmembrane receptors and with the nuclear hormone receptor PPARgamma. Synthesis and biological activities of fluorinated analogues of LPA are still relatively unknown. In an effort to identify receptor-selective LPA analogues and to document in detail the structure-activity relationships of fluorinated LPA isosteres, we describe a series of monofluorinated LPA analogues in which either the sn-1 or the sn-2 hydroxy group was replaced by fluorine, or the bridging oxygen in the monophosphate was replaced by an alpha-monofluoromethylene (-CHF-) moiety. The sn-1 or sn-2 monofluorinated LPA analogues were enantiospecifically prepared from chiral protected glycerol synthons, and the alpha-monofluoromethylene-substituted LPA analogues were prepared from a racemic epoxide with use of a hydrolytic kinetic resolution. The sn-2 and sn-1 fluoro LPA analogues were unable to undergo acyl migration, effectively "freezing" them in the sn-1-O-acyl or sn-2-O-acyl forms, respectively. The alpha-monofluoromethylene LPA analogues were unique new nonhydrolyzable ligands with surprising enantiospecific and receptor-specific biological readouts, with one compound showing a 1000-fold higher activity than native LPA for one receptor subtype.

The path of GPR87: from a P2Y-like receptor to its role in cancer progression.
Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

NGO Praeventio, Tartu, 50407, Estonia.
GPR87 is a G protein-coupled seven-transmembrane receptor first described as an orphan receptor in 2001. Despite its high structural homology to several extracellular nucleotide-activated P2Y receptors and sharing conserved sequence motifs in transmembrane regions, identification of endogenous ligands from the class of nucleotides and their analogues has failed for GPR87. Although lysophosphatidic acid was proposed to be a natural ligand for this cell surface receptor, these data are preliminary and inconsistent, and IUPHAR is currently considering GPR87 as an orphan receptor.

Article Synopsis
- * In this retrospective study involving 218 patients, the HT group showed a higher rate of pain relief (81.19%) compared to the local pleural anesthesia (LPA) group (56.41%), and had fewer complications such as pneumothorax.
- * The findings suggest that HT-assisted MWA not only alleviates pain effectively but also reduces the risk of serious complications, making it a promising approach for treating subpleural NSCLCs.

Lysine cyclodeaminase (LCD)-mediated synthesis of l-pipecolic acid (l-PA) from l-lysine (l-Lys) is a promising approach. However, only one LCD has been reported, and its inadequate activity limits industrial applications. To address this problem, a substrate analogue-guided enzyme mining strategy was employed.

This study aimed to elucidate the changes of browning-related metabolite in fresh-cut potato and to identify anti-browning agents. Metabolomics and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) were used to identify metabolites and correlate them with potato browning traits. A total of 79 browning trait-positive-related metabolites and 19 browning trait-negative-related metabolites were obtained from four key modules via WGCNA.

Background: Recently, the effect of Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] on thrombogenesis has aroused great interest, while inflammation has been reported to modify the Lp(a)-associated risks through an unidentified mechanism.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the association between platelet reactivity with Lp(a) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in percutaneous intervention (PCI) patients treated with clopidogrel.
Methods: Data were collected from 10,724 consecutive PCI patients throughout the year 2013 in Fuwai Hospital.
