  • Publication number: 20170370929
    Abstract: Described are the discovery, synthesis and pharmacological characterization of ?-opioid receptor-selective positive allosteric modulators (? PAMs). These ? PAMs may increase the affinity and/or efficacy of the orthosteric agonists leu-enkephalin and SNC80, as measured by ?-arrestin recruitment and adenylyl cyclase inhibition. The compounds may be useful pharmacological tools to probe the molecular pharmacology of the ? receptor and to explore the therapeutic potential of ? PAMs in diseases such as chronic pain and depression.

  • Publication number: 20140011700
    Abstract: The binding mode of the antiviral compounds have been characterized through a variety of biophysical and structural studies, elaborating on the proposed aggregation mechanism of action. We demonstrate the direct binding of these antiviral compounds to NP using thermal shift enhancement assay (TSE) and NMR. In addition, we have completed a detailed analysis of the oligomerization mechanism of action using dynamic light scattering, analytical ultracentrifugation, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Structure determination using x-ray crystallography confirmed the proposed compound-induced oligomerization mechanism of action. The co-crystal structure revealed that two compounds bound in an anti-parallel fashion bridging two NP monomers, inducing a novel non-native NP oligomer.
