Cold-Adapted Proteases as an Emerging Class of Therapeutics
Proteases have been used in medicine for several decades and are an established and well tolerated class of therapeutic agent. These proteases were sourced from mammals or bacteria that exist or have adapted to moderate temperatures (mesophilic organisms); however, proteases derived from organisms from cold environments-cold-adapted or psychrophilic proteases-generally have high specific activi...
متن کاملProteases as therapeutics.
Proteases are an expanding class of drugs that hold great promise. The U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved 12 protease therapies, and a number of next generation or completely new proteases are in clinical development. Although they are a well-recognized class of targets for inhibitors, proteases themselves have not typically been considered as a drug class despite their applic...
متن کاملCell-Specific Aptamers as Emerging Therapeutics
Aptamers are short nucleic acids that bind to defined targets with high affinity and specificity. The first aptamers have been selected about two decades ago by an in vitro process named SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment). Since then, numerous aptamers with specificities for a variety of targets from small molecules to proteins or even whole cells have been select...
متن کاملPreclinical profile of bacopasides from Bacopa monnieri (BM) as an emerging class of therapeutics for management of chronic pains.
Chronic pains management costs billions of dollars in medical exchequer to the world population. Additionally, 77% of people with chronic pains also have a degree of medically treatable depression. Opioids have a narrower safety index due to their side effects associated with its tolerance, hyperalgesia and subsequent dependence. Likewise, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anticonvulsan...
متن کاملType II transmembrane serine proteases. Insights into an emerging class of cell surface proteolytic enzymes.
Cell surface proteolysis has emerged as an important mechanism for the generation of biologically active proteins that mediate a diverse range of cellular functions. The proteolytic activities of membrane-anchored proteins, such as ADAMs (1) and MT-MMPs (2), are thought to play central roles in cell surface-activating events. In contrast, most of the members of the serine protease family, one o...
