Novel 3,4-disubstituted-Neu5Ac2en derivatives have been synthesised to probe the open 150-loop conformation of influenza virus sialidases. Both equatorially and axially (epi) substituted C4 amino and guanidino 3-(p-tolyl)allyl-Neu5Ac2en derivatives were prepared, via the 4-epi-hydroxy derivative. The equatorially-substituted 4-amino derivative showed low micromolar inhibition of both group-1 (pdm09 H1N1) and group-2 (pdm57 H2N2) sialidases, and provides the first in vitro evidence that a group-2 sialidase may exhibit 150-loop flexibility.

Regulation of Dopamine Release by Tonic Activity Patterns in the Striatal Brain Slice.

ACS Chem Neurosci

Voluntary movement, motivation, and reinforcement learning depend on the activity of ventral midbrain neurons, which extend axons to release dopamine (DA) in the striatum. These neurons exhibit two patterns of action potential activity: low-frequency tonic activity that is intrinsically generated and superimposed high-frequency phasic bursts that are driven by synaptic inputs. acute striatal brain preparations are widely employed to study the regulation of evoked DA release but exhibit very different DA release kinetics than recordings.

The current study was deployed to evaluate the role of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) and miR-155, along with the inflammatory markers, TNFα and IL-6, and the adhesion molecule, cluster of differentiation 106 (CD106), in Behçet's disease (BD) pathogenesis. The study also assessed MALAT1/miR-155 as promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for BD. The current retrospective case-control study included 74 Egyptian BD patients and 50 age and sex-matched controls.

From Genetic Findings to new Intestinal Molecular Targets in Lipid Metabolism.

Curr Atheroscler Rep

January 2025

Nantes Université, CHU Nantes, CNRS, Inserm, l'institut du thorax, F-44000, Nantes, France.

Purpose Of Review: While lipid-lowering therapies demonstrate efficacy, many patients still contend with significant residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). The intestine plays a pivotal role in regulating circulating lipoproteins levels, thereby exerting influence on ASCVD pathogenesis. This review underscores recent genetic findings from the last six years that delineate new biological pathways and actors in the intestine which regulate lipid-related ASCVD risk.
