AI Article Synopsis

  • - We created new PPARdelta antagonists by studying the crystal structure of the PPARdelta full agonist TIPP-204 and applying our theory about how helix 12 in nuclear receptors folds.
  • - Our research focuses on adjusting the chemical structure to target PPARdelta more effectively.
  • - The compound identified as 3a specifically shows strong antagonistic activity only towards PPARdelta.

Article Abstract

We designed and synthesized novel PPARdelta antagonists based on the crystal structure of the PPARdelta full agonist TIPP-204 bound to the PPARdelta ligand-binding domain, in combination with our nuclear receptor helix 12 folding modification hypothesis. Representative compound 3a exhibits PPARdelta-preferential antagonistic activity.

Organic radicals driving polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon polymerization with peracetic acid activation in soil.

J Hazard Mater

August 2024

State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, PR China. Electronic address:

The use of peracetic acid (PAA) in advanced oxidation processes has gained significant attention recently, but the knowledge of activating PAA to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is limited due to the variety and selectivity of reactive substances in PAA oxidation system. This paper presented the first systemically study on the degradation of PAHs by PAA activation in soil. It was found that heat-activated peracetic acid (heat/PAA) was capable of degrading phenanthrene (PHE) efficiently with degradation efficiency > 90 % within 30 min.

RARβ2-dependent signaling represses neuronal differentiation in mouse ES cells.

Differentiation

August 2018

Department of Biological Sciences and Chemistry, Southern University and A&M College, Baton Rouge, LA 70813, USA. Electronic address:

Embryonic Stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells that can be induced to differentiate into cells of all three lineages: mesoderm, endoderm, and ectoderm. In culture, ES cells can be differentiated into mature neurons by treatment with Retinoic Acid (RA) and this effect is mediated mainly through the activation of the RA nuclear receptors (RAR α, β, and γ), and their isoforms. However, little is known about the role played by specific RAR types on ES cell differentiation.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Indole Biphenylcarboxylic Acids as PPARγ Antagonists.

The thiazolidinediones (TZD) typified by rosiglitazone are the only approved therapeutics targeting PPARγ for the treatment of type-2 diabetes (T2DM). Unfortunately, despite robust insulin sensitizing properties, they are accompanied by a number of severe side effects including congestive heart failure, edema, weight gain, and osteoporosis. We recently identified PPARγ antagonists that bind reversibly with high affinity but do not induce transactivation of the receptor, yet they act as insulin sensitizers in mouse models of diabetes (SR1664).

Background And Purpose: Recently identified antagonists of the urotensin-II (U-II) receptor (UT) are of limited utility for investigating the (patho)physiological role of U-II due to poor potency and limited selectivity and/or intrinsic activity.

Experimental Approach: The pharmacological properties of two novel UT antagonists, GSK1440115 and GSK1562590, were compared using multiple bioassays.

Key Results: GSK1440115 (pK(i)= 7.
