OXavidin for Tissue Targeting Biotinylated Therapeutics
Avidin is a glycoprotein from hen egg white that binds biotin with very high affinity. Here we describe OXavidin, a product containing aldehyde groups, obtained by ligand-assisted sugar oxidation of avidin by sodium periodate. OXavidin chemically reacts with cellular and tissue proteins through Schiff's base formation thus residing in tissues for weeks while preserving the biotin binding capaci...
متن کاملNatural Therapeutics Targeting Survivin
Volume 1 • Issue 6 • 1000e121 Biochem Anal Biochem ISSN:2161-1009 Biochem, an open access journal An interesting study analysing the effect of curcumin on hepatocellular carcinoma cells revealed the decreased efficacy of curcumin treatment on cells when survivin is suppressed. Using siRNA methods, survivin was suppressed in HCC cells and curcumin was tested for its anticancer effects. Interesti...
متن کاملEmerging therapeutics for targeting Akt in cancer.
The ultimate goal of cancer therapeutic research is to develop effective, targeted therapeutics that exploit the vulnerabilities of cancer cells. The three isoforms of Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), are important mediators of various pathways that transmit mitogenic signals from the cell's exterior to the effector proteins of the cell's interior. Due to Akt\\\\\\\'s importance in ce...
متن کاملTargeting TRP Channels For Novel Migraine Therapeutics
Migraine is increasingly understood to be a disorder of the brain. In susceptible individuals, a variety of "triggers" may influence altered central excitability, resulting in the activation and sensitization of trigeminal nociceptive afferents surrounding blood vessels (i.e., the trigeminovascular system), leading to migraine pain. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are expressed in a...
متن کاملTargeting lactate metabolism for cancer therapeutics.
Lactate, once considered a waste product of glycolysis, has emerged as a critical regulator of cancer development, maintenance, and metastasis. Indeed, tumor lactate levels correlate with increased metastasis, tumor recurrence, and poor outcome. Lactate mediates cancer cell intrinsic effects on metabolism and has additional non-tumor cell autonomous effects that drive tumorigenesis. Tumor cells...
