First total synthesis of antiostatin A1, a potent carbazole-based naturally occurring antioxidant.
2009
The first total synthesis of the potent antioxidant antiostatin A1 is reported, where its key features rely on a chemo- and regioselective rhodium-catalysed crossed alkyne cyclotrimerisation reaction applying functionalised ynamides and a palladium-catalysed arylamidation reaction.
ETC-1002: A future option for lipid disorders?
2014
ETC-1002 is a new investigational low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering agent (Esperion Therapeutics, Inc.). ETC-1002 is a dicarboxylic acid derivative with a novel mechanism of action targeting two hepatic enzymes - adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACL) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), inhibiting sterol and fatty acid synthesis and promoting mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation. This agent is currently in phase II clinical research. Available data report that ETC-1002 significantly decreased LDL-C levels (up to 32%) in both patients with normal and elevated baseline levels of triglycerides. Such beneficial effect is superior to curre…
Efficacy and safety of bempedoic acid for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2020
Background Bempedoic acid is a first-in-class lipid-lowering drug recommended by guidelines for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Our objective was to estimate its average effect on plasma lipids in humans and its safety profile. Methods and findings We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis of phase II and III randomized controlled trials on bempedoic acid (PROSPERO: CRD42019129687). PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched, with no language restriction, from inception to 5 August 2019. We included 10 RCTs (n = 3,788) comprising 26 arms (active arm [n = 2,460]; control arm [n = 1,328]). Effect sizes for changes in lipids and high-…
Influence of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein promoter polymorphism -493 GT on fasting plasma triglyceride values and interaction with treatm…
2005
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C). Phenotypic expression is highly variable, being influenced by diet, age, gender, body mass index, apolipoprotein E genotype and type of LDL-receptor gene mutation. Microsomal triglyceride (TG) transfer protein (MTP) is a protein involved in lipid metabolism. Polymorphism MTP -493 GT has been shown to modulate lipid levels in several populations. To analyse the effect of this polymorphism in the lipid phenotype expression of FH and treatment response, we studied a sample of 222 Spanish FH patients, of whom 147 were studied before and after trea…
Cholesterol in Alzheimer’s Disease and other Amyloidogenic Disorders
2010
The complex association of cholesterol metabolism and Alzheimer’s disease is presented in depth, including the possible benefits to be gained from cholesterol-lowering statin therapy. Then follows a survey of the role of neuronal membrane cholesterol in Aβ pore formation and Aβ fibrillogenesis, together with the link with membrane raft domains and gangliosides. The contribution of structural studies to Aβ fibrillogenesis, using TEM and AFM, is given some emphasis. The role of apolipoprotein E and its isoforms, in particular ApoE4, in cholesterol and Aβ binding is presented, in relation to genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. Increasing evidence suggests that cholesterol oxidation p…
Oxamidato complexes. Part 4. Electrochemical study of the copper(III)/copper(II) couple in monomeric N,N?-bis(substituent)oxamidatocopper(II) complex…
1993
The electrochemical behaviour of a series of monomeric N,N′-bis(substituent)oxamidato copper(II) complexes of formula Na2[Cu(3,5,3′,5′-X4obbz)]·4H2O [X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3) and obbz = oxamidobis(benzoato)], Na2-[Cu(obbz)]·4H2O (4), Na2[Cu(5,5′-Me2obbz)]·4H2O (5), Na2[Cu(4,5,4,5′-(MeO)4obbz)]·4H2O(6),Na2[Cu(obp)]· 3.5H2O (7) (obp = oxamidobis(propionato)) and Na2[Cu(pba)]·6H2O (8), [pba = propylenebis(oxamate)] has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk electrode and coulometry in water and dimethylsulphoxide (dmso) solutions. NaNO3 (0.1 M) and n-Bu4NPF6 (0.1 M) were used as supporting electrolytes in H2O and dmso respectively, all solutions being thermostatted at 25 °C. I…
A Highly Magnetized Twin-Jet Base Pinpoints a Supermassive Black Hole
2016
Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are essential for the production of jets in radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN). Theoretical models based on Blandford & Znajek extract the rotational energy from a Kerr black hole, which could be the case for NGC1052, to launch these jets. This requires magnetic fields of the order of $10^3\,$G to $10^4\,$G. We imaged the vicinity of the SMBH of the AGN NGC1052 with the Global Millimetre VLBI Array and found a bright and compact central feature, smaller than 1.9 light days (100 Schwarzschild radii) in radius. Interpreting this as a blend of the unresolved jet bases, we derive the magnetic field at 1 Schwarzschild radius to lie between 200 G and ~8000…

Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in assessing the Prognosis of Atherosclerotic plaques in patients under Statin Therapy: A Systematic Review of…
2021
The current study aims to conduct a systematic review on the efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in assessing the Prognosis of Atherosclerotic plaques in patients under Statin Therapy. For this purpose, the existing studies focusing on these criteria and the clinical trials and studies have been focused upon. The time frame set for the evaluation of the present literature and findings has been set at the previous decade i.e. the studies of the previous 10 years have been searches through authentic databases and the data related to the current topic has been extracted through efficient sources and reviewers. All the details about MRI efficacy in the assessment of prognosis of Athero…
The electron affinity of astatine
2020
One of the most important properties influencing the chemical behavior of an element is the electron affinity (EA). Among the remaining elements with unknown EA is astatine, where one of its isotopes, 211At, is remarkably well suited for targeted radionuclide therapy of cancer. With the At− anion being involved in many aspects of current astatine labeling protocols, the knowledge of the electron affinity of this element is of prime importance. Here we report the measured value of the EA of astatine to be 2.41578(7) eV. This result is compared to state-of-the-art relativistic quantum mechanical calculations that incorporate both the Breit and the quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections and…
