  • Publication number: 20180258106
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for altering the redox equilibrium of a transmembrane receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP), particularly a type IIa RPTP, by chemically modulating the activity through contact of such an enzyme with a diaryl boron compound that preferentially reacts with an RPTP in an oxidized state (CyS-OH). This redox modulation is most readily observed and put to use by assaying the inhibition of the phosphatase activity of the RPTP. Such an assay can be carried out on an enzyme in vitro or by contacting the enzyme in a living organism (in vivo). A useful diaryl boron compound corresponds in structure to Formula I in which Ar-1, Ar-2, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are defined within. A pharmaceutical composition containing a useful diaryl boron compound is also disclosed, as are particularly preferred diaryl boron compounds.

  • Publication number: 20180258114
    Abstract: Described herein is an enzyme-mediated approach to bioconjugation at nanoparticle (NP) surfaces. This process is enabled by a new synthetic linker compatible with the covalent attachment of alkyne modified substrates, including dyes, peptides and nucleic acids. The methods described herein specifically allow for the linkage of molecules to a DNA-functionalized nanoparticle surface. Enzymatic ligation of molecules to the terminal hydroxyl group of DNA using T4 DNA ligase is achieved through incorporation of a single monophosphate on the approaching substrate. In contrast to previous strategies, the linkers disclosed herein are compatible with alkyne modified molecules of a variety of sizes and charges indicating that the ligase minimally requires the monophosphate and the incoming hydroxyl for conjugation to be successful.

  • Publication number: 20180258141
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to conduct a search for a compound to be arranged at a terminal of a peptide nucleic acid effective in detecting a single nucleotide polymorphism. Provided is a tolan compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein R1 represents a phenyl group or a naphthyl group, the phenyl group may have 1 to 5 substituents that are identical to or different from each other, and the naphthyl group may have 1 to 7 substituents that are identical to or different from each other.

  • Publication number: 20180258142
    Abstract: The present invention describes unique means for reducing autoreactivity that sensitizes against sustained treatments, and toxicity associated with administration of biologicals, in order to develop safer cancer immunotherapeutics. Short functional sequences are identified in the biologic and matched to their most homologous human counterpart. The human homologs are swapped in to replace their foreign counterparts. Alternatively, variants are selected that have exhibit less toxicity in human or primate experiments from nature, and these sequences are swapped in to replace their counterparts in the biologic. Also, human sequences that mediate the same function as foreign sequences in the biologic, but lack any sequence homology, can be swapped in for their foreign sequence counterparts. These inventions are applied to derivatize the HIV/SIV Tat protein into humanized trimers (CATS) useful for the treatment of cancer.
