Synthesis and Characterization of a Bidirectional Photoswitchable Antagonist Toolbox for Real-Time GPCR Photopharmacology
Noninvasive methods to modulate G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with temporal and spatial precision are in great demand. Photopharmacology uses photons to control in situ the biological properties of photoswitchable small-molecule ligands, which bodes well for chemical biological precision approaches. Integrating the light-switchable configurational properties of an azobenzene into the liga...
متن کاملPhototherapy and photopharmacology.
The activation of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) by long-wavelength ultraviolet A light (UVA, 320-400 nm) induces the formation of interstrand cross-links in DNA. Psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) is widely used in the treatment of psoriasis, a hyperproliferative disease of the skin. A new psoralen plus UVA therapy has been developed in which the 8-MOP-containing blood of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) pat...
متن کاملThe photopharmacology of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are one of the most abundant classes of receptors present in the mammalian nervous system and play a significant role in synaptic transmission. The development of new tools that can precisely control the function of nAChRs is important for the study of their complex biological processes. It could also lead to new therapeutic treatments for neurological...
متن کاملPotent Prearranged Positive Allosteric Modulators of the Glucagon‐like Peptide‐1 Receptor
Drugs that allosterically modulate G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity display higher specificity and may improve disease treatment. However, the rational design of compounds that target the allosteric site is difficult, as conformations required for receptor activation are poorly understood. Guided by photopharmacology, a set of prearranged positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with res...
متن کاملPRED-GPCR: GPCR recognition and family classification server
The vast cell-surface receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the focus of both academic and pharmaceutical research due to their key role in cell physiology along with their amenability to drug intervention. As the data flow rate from the various genome and proteome projects continues to grow, so does the need for fast, automated and reliable screening for new members of the ...
