The crystal structure of a polymorph of 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), C7H7NO2, at 100 K is noncentrosymmetric, as opposed to centrosymmetric in the structures of the other known polymorphs. The two crystallographically independent PABA molecules form pseudocentrosymmetric O-H...O hydrogen-bonded dimers that are further linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The benzene rings stack in the b direction. The CO2 moieties are bent out slightly from the benzene ring plane.

Indeed, previous studies have shown that excessive increases in hypochlorous acid after stroke can cause severe damage to brain tissue.

Four aromatic acid compounds: benzoic acid (Bz), 4-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (HPPA), gallic acid (GA) and 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) were covalently bonded to chitosan in order to improve water solubility at neutral pH. The synthesis was performed via a radical redox reaction in heterogeneous phase by employing ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide (AA/HO) as radical initiators in ethanol. The analysis of chemical structure and conformational changes on acetylated chitosan was also the focus of this research.

Due to the rise of tuberculosis cases infected with multi and extensively drug-resistant strains and the emergence of isolates resistant to antibiotics newly in clinical use, host-directed therapies targeting pathogenesis-associated immune pathways adjunct to antibiotics may ameliorate disease and bacterial clearance. Active tuberculosis is characterized by neutrophil-mediated lung pathology and tissue destruction. Previously, we showed that preventing induced necrosis in human neutrophils by inhibition of myeloperoxidase (MPO) promoted default apoptosis and subsequent control of mycobacteria by macrophages taking up the mycobacteria-infected neutrophils.

Background: Host immune response is a critical component in tumorigenesis and immune escape. Radiation is widely used for glioblastoma (GBM) and can induce marked tissue inflammation and substantially alter host immune response. However, the role of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a key enzyme in inflammation and host immune response, in tumorigenesis after radiotherapy is unclear.

Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) play a key role in host defense. However, their massive accumulation at the site of inflammation can delay regenerative healing processes and can initiate pathological inflammatory processes. Thus, the efficient clearance of PMNs mediated by the induction of regulated cell death is a key process preventing the development of these pathological conditions.
