Combinatorial Screening for Specific Drug Solubilizers with Switchable Release Profiles

Polymer-block-peptide conjugates are tailored to render hydrophobic small molecule drugs water soluble. The combinatorial strategy selects for bioconjugates that exhibit sequence-specific solubilization and switchable release profiles of the cargo through ...

Preclinical combination therapy of the investigational drug NAMI-A(+) with doxorubicin for mammary cancer

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

Aim of the study The tumor metastases targeting ruthenium complex NAMI-A synergistically improves the activity of gemcitabine in combination therapies. High-throughput screening was used to identify other potential drug combinations from a library of FDA a ...

Automated multi-parameter measurement of cardiomyocytes dynamics with digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz

Compounds tested during drug development may have adverse effects on the heart; therefore all new chemical entities have to undergo extensive preclinical assessment for cardiac liability. Conventional intensity-based imaging techniques are not robust enoug ...

Simple and Rapid Method To Determine Antimycobacterial Potency of Compounds by Using Autoluminescent Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Neeraj Dhar, Ekaterina Gelman

A major obstacle in the process of discovery of drugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is its extremely slow growth rate and long generation time (similar to 20 to 24 h). Consequently, determination of MICs and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) ...

Exploring Weak Ligand-Protein Interactions by Long-Lived NMR States: Improved Contrast in Fragment-Based Drug Screening

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Daniele Mammoli, Roberto Buratto

Ligands that have an affinity for protein targets can be screened very effectively by exploiting favorable properties of long-lived states (LLS) in NMR spectroscopy. In this work, we describe the use of LLS for competitive binding experiments to measure ac ...

Assessing the essentiality of the decaprenyl-phospho-D-arabinofuranose pathway in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using conditional mutants

Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Gaëlle Séraphine Kolly

In Mycobacterium tuberculosis the decaprenyl-phospho-d-arabinofuranose (DPA) pathway is a validated target for the drugs ethambutol and benzothiazinones. To identify other potential drug targets in the pathway, we generated conditional knock-down mutants o ...

Abcb4 acts as multixenobiotic transporter and active barrier against chemical uptake in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos

Kristin Schirmer

Background: In mammals, ABCB1 constitutes a cellular "first line of defense" against a wide array of chemicals and drugs conferring cellular multidrug or multixenobiotic resistance (MDR/MXR). We tested the hypothesis that an ABCB1 ortholog serves as protec ...

Detection of Drug-Protein Interactions with an Improved Yeast Three-Hybrid System

Cindy Fellay

The identification of the targets of therapeutic drugs is one of the major challenges for pharmaceutical companies. The main target responsible for drug action is often known, but most drugs also bind other targets, either causing deleterious side effects ...

Highly efficient production of the Alzheimer's γ-Secretase integral membrane protease complex by a multi-gene stable integration approach

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lorène Aeschbach, Patrick Fraering, Mitko Dimitrov, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Inefficient production of membrane-embedded multi-protein complexes by conventional methods has largely prevented the generation of high-resolution structural information and the performance of high-throughput drug discovery screens for this class of prote ...

Probing Odorant-Mediated Receptor Activation

Olivia Baud

Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a large variety of odors with a limited set of receptors. How a particular OR binds and distingu ...

Catalytic Asymmetric Functionalization of Inert Bonds and Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products

Nicolai Cramer

The direct and enantioselective functionalization of inert bonds such as carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon is an emerging tool towards more sustainable and efficient synthetic methods. The individual activation pathways like concerted deprotonation metalat ...

Plasmodium falciparum NIMA-related kinase Pfnek-1: sex specificity and assessment of essentiality for the erythrocytic asexual cycle

The Plasmodium falciparum kinome includes a family of four protein kinases (Pfnek-1 to -4) related to the NIMA (never-in-mitosis) family, members of which play important roles in mitosis and meiosis in eukaryotic cells. Only one of these, Pfnek-1, which we ...
