Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 33100-27-5, 33100-27-5, Name is 1,4,7,10,13-Pentaoxacyclopentadecane, molecular formula is C10H20O5.
Crown Ethers as Transthyretin Amyloidogenesis Inhibitors
Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric protein found in human serum and associated with amyloid diseases. Because the tetramer dissociation and misfolding of the monomer precede amyloid fibril formation, development of a small molecule that binds to TTR and stabilizes the TTR tetramer is an efficient strategy for the treatment of amyloidosis. Here, we report our discovery of the anti-TTR amyloidogenesis activities of crown ethers. X-ray crystallographic analysis, binding assay, and chemical cross-linking assay showed that 4?-carboxybenzo-18C6 (4) stabilized the TTR tetramer by binding to the allosteric sites on the molecular surface of the TTR tetramer. In addition, 4 synergistically increased the stabilization activity of diflunisal, one of the most potent TTR amyloidogenesis inhibitors. These experimental evidences establish that 4 is a valuable template compound as an allosteric inhibitor of TTR amyloidogenesis.
Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions.33100-27-5, you can also check out more blogs about33100-27-5
