6. Design and Synthesis of Galectin Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : Galectins, a lectin family, have shown binding affinities towards b-galactosides. Galectins have been proposed to be involved in a wide range of functions like for example, cell growth, adhesion, migration, chemo taxis and apoptosis. They have also been associated with various cancer types. LÄS MER
7. Design and Synthesis of Glycomimetics as Selective Galectin Inhibitors
Sammanfattning : In last couple of decades the field of glycobiology has developed rapidly due to the increased understanding of glycans’ abilities to encode biological information, which may have impact on biological event and disease, such as for example tumour growth and inflammation. This development has been accompanied by an increasing focus on drug discovery revolving around a category of carbohydrate-based drugs termed glycomimetics. LÄS MER
8. Galectin Inhibitors – Molecular Tools in Biomedical Research and Clinical Implications
Sammanfattning : Galectins are β-galactoside-binding lectins, which are present in both the intracellular and extracellular environments of cells. During the last two decades, galectins have gained increasing interest as drug targets in various diseases, such as chronic inflammation (fibrosis) and cancer, in which galectins have been shown to play important, and sometimes rate-limiting, roles.

9. Conformational Entropy and Protein Flexibility in Drug Design Studied by NMR Spectroscopy
Sammanfattning : Proteins are complex molecules, present in all of the vital functions of life. The function of a protein is regulated by interactions between protein and other molecules. Drug design in pharmaceutical science aims to regulate the function of a protein by the design of synthesized molecules that binds to a protein with high affinity. LÄS MER
10. Translational studies of syndecan-1 as angiogenesis inhibitor : from basic research to clinical applications
Sammanfattning : Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a highly aggressive primary tumor of the pleura, associated with poor prognosis. MM is mainly related to exposure to mineral fibers such as asbestos. The diagnosis of MM, despite multiple diagnostic tools, is challenging and treatment options are limited. LÄS MER
