Abstract 10306: Identification and Characterization of Orally Bioavailable Small Molecule Protease Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin-like Kexin Type 9 Inhibitors (Best of Basic Science Abstract)
Abstract Intervention with drugs to reduce low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) has proven to decrease mortality and morbidity. Here, we report the development of small molecules that lower LDL-C by targeting the LDL-receptor (LDLR) degradation pathway, which is modulated by the protease proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9 (PCSK9). PCSK9 is synthesized as a 72-kDa zymogen ...

Applications of Cell-penetrating Peptides
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that facilitate cellular intake and uptake of molecules ranging from nano-size particles to small chemical compounds to large fragments of DNA. As a versatile peptide, CPP has been widely used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. 1. Oligo and siRNA Transport As an important means for targeted therapy of specific genes, oligonucleotides ...

Classes and Applications of Cell-Penetrating Peptides
Classes of Cell-Penetrating Peptides There are many types of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), and their classification is based on physicochemical properties, sources, intake mechanisms, and biomedical applications. There is no unified conclusion yet. According to their physical and chemical properties, CPPs can be divided into three types: cationic, amphiphilic and hydrophobic, among which ...

Scireq Softrestraint for Exposure Studies
Evaluating the stress related effects of various restraint methods in rodents Any restraining device used in an inhalation exposure set-up will be, by definition, restricting the subject’s ability to move. For nose-only inhalation set-ups, typical restraints are rigid, fully enclosed and include a metal or acrylic plunger forcing the subject forward and preventing the subject from ...
