AI Article Synopsis

  • Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one acylhydrazide derivatives are identified as moderate inhibitors of tissue transglutaminase (TGase 2) using a fluorescence assay for measuring enzyme activity.
  • The study highlights that the presence of an acylhydrazide thioether side-chain and a thiophene ring is essential for the inhibitory effect.
  • This research contributes to the understanding of TGase 2 inhibition, which could have implications in therapeutic development.

Article Abstract

Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one acylhydrazide derivatives were discovered as moderately potent inhibitors of TGase 2 (tissue transglutaminase) utilizing a fluorescence-based assay that measured TGase 2 catalyzed incorporation of the dansylated Lys derivative alpha-N-Boc-Lys-CH(2)-CH(2)-dansyl into the protein substrate N,N-dimethylated-casein. A SAR study revealed that the acylhydrazide thioether side-chain and the thiophene ring were critical to inhibitory activity.

The gold standard of auricular reconstruction involves manual graft assembly from autologous costal cartilage. The intervention may require multiple surgical procedures and lead to donor-site morbidity, while the outcome is highly dependent on individual surgical skills. A tissue engineering approach provides the means to produce cartilage grafts of a defined shape from autologous chondrocytes.

Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a multifunctional protein that can catalyze the cross-linking between proteins, and function as a G-protein. TG2's unregulated behaviour has been associated with fibrosis, celiac disease and cancer metastasis. Recently, small molecule irreversible inhibitors have been designed, bearing an electrophilic warhead that can react with the catalytic cysteine, abolishing TG2's catalytic and G-protein capabilities.

Background: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps can contribute to thrombosis via stabilization fibrin network, which is normally conducted by plasma transglutaminase, Factor XIII-A as part of coagulation cascade. The possible presence and activity of FXIII-A in neutrophils or during NETosis is unknown. Here, we investigated potential presence of FXIII-A in neutrophils and participation in NET-fibrinogen interaction.

Introduction: Parietal cell antibody (PCA)-mediated auto-immune gastritis is known to increase the risk of iron-deficiency and pernicious anaemia in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, these data are scarce. We aimed to study the prevalence of parietal cell antibodies (PCAs) and its clinical associations in people with type 1 diabetes with onset below 30 years.

A promising approach for wound treatment is using multilayer wound dressings that offer multifunctional properties. In this study, a bilayered electrospun/hydrogel gelatin-based scaffold integrated with honey and curcumin was developed to treat wounds under an in vivo study. The first layer consisted of an enzymatic cross-linked gelatin hydrogel containing honey and curcumin, which gelatin/PCL nanofibers reinforced.
