Antitumor effects of synthetic VEGF-receptor binding antagonist, VGA1155.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays key roles in tumor angiogenesis. Therefore, VEGF and its receptors are considered to be primary targets for antiangiogenic strategy during cancer chemotherapy. Our previous study reported that VGA1155, a low-molecular-weight inhibitor of the binding of VEGF, inhibited VEGF binding to KDR/Flk-1 receptor-overexpressing cells. In the present study, t...
متن کاملInteraction between Antagonist of Cannabinoid Receptor and Antagonist of Adrenergic Receptor on Anxiety in Male Rat
Introduction: Anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. Adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. The present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (IP) injection of cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist (AM251) i...
متن کاملLocal complement-targeted intervention in periodontitis: proof-of-concept using a C5a receptor (CD88) antagonist.
When excessively activated or deregulated, complement becomes a major link between infection and inflammatory pathology including periodontitis. This oral inflammatory disease is associated with a dysbiotic microbiota, leads to the destruction of bone and other tooth-supporting structures, and exerts an adverse impact on systemic health. We have previously shown that mice deficient either in co...
متن کاملIdentification of a potent and orally active non-peptide C5a receptor antagonist.
The anaphylatoxin C5a is a potent chemotactic factor for neutrophils and other leukocytes, and functions as an important inflammatory mediator. Through a high capacity screening followed by chemical optimization, we identified a novel non-peptide C5a receptor antagonist, N-[(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methyl]-N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1- carboxamide hydrochloride (...
