Dual aromatase-steroid sulfatase inhibitors (2007)

Woo, L.W.L., Bubert, C., Sutcliffe, O.B.*, Smith, A., Chander, S.K., Mahon, M.F., ...

By introducting the steroid sulfatase inhibitory pharmacophore into aromatase inhibitor 1 (YM511), two series of single agent dual aromatase-sulfatase inhibitors (DASIs) were generated. The best...

E-ring modified steroids as novel potent inhibitors of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (2005)

Fischer, D.S., Allan, G.M., Bubert, C., Vicker, N., Smith, A., Tutill, H.J., ...

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) are an important class of steroidogenic enzymes that regulate the bioavailability of active estrogens and androgens and are as yet a relatively...

2-MeOE2bisMATE induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in CAL51 breast cancer cells and overcomes resistance to TRAIL via cooperative activation of caspases (2004)

Wood, L., Leese, M.P., Mouzakiti, A., Purohit, A., Potter, B.V., Reed, M.J., ...

2-Methoxyoestradiol (2-MeOE2) is an endogenous oestrogen metabolite which inhibits tubulin polymerisation and has anti-tumour and anti-angiogenic activity. 2-MeOE2 induces apoptosis in a wide range...

First dual aromatase-steroid sulfatase inhibitors (2003)

Woo, L.W.L., Sutcliffe, O.B.*, Bubert, C., Grasso, A., Chander, S.K., Purohit, A., ...

Aromatase inhibitors in clinical use block the biosynthesis of estrogens. Hydrolysis of estrone 3-sulfate by steroid sulfatase is an important additional source of tumor estrogen, and blockade of...

Inhibition of superoxide dismutase by 2-methoxyoestradiol analogues and oestrogen derivatives - structure-activity relationships (2001)

Wood, L., Leese, M.R., Leblond, B., Woo, L.W., Ganeshapillai, D., Purohit, A., ...

Superoxide dismutases catalyse the dismutation of highly reactive superoxide ions to produce hydrogen peroxide and several lines of evidence suggest that these enzymes play important roles in the...

Centrosome defects and genetic instability in malignant tumors (1998)

Pihan, G A, Purohit, A, Wallace, J, Knecht, H, Woda, Bruce A., Quesenberry, Peter J., ...

Genetic instability is a common feature of many human cancers. This condition is frequently characterized by an abnormal number of chromosomes, although little is known about the mechanism that...

PCR primers and probes for the 16S rRNA gene of most species of pathogenic bacteria, including bacteria found in cerebrospinal fluid.

Greisen, K, Loeffelholz, M, Purohit, A, Leong, D

A set of broad-range PCR primers for the 16S rRNA gene in bacteria were tested, along with three series of oligonucleotide probes to detect the PCR product. The first series of probes is broad in...

Vaccination with genetically engineered allergens prevents progression of allergic disease

Niederberger, V., Horak, F., Vrtala, S., Spitzauer, S., Valent, P., ...

IgE-mediated allergy affects >25% of the population in industrialized countries. Repeated contact with the disease-eliciting allergens induces rises of allergen-specific IgE Abs and progression of...

Characterization of a guinea-pig lymphokine, macrophage agglutination factor.

Godfrey, H P, Purohit, A

We have previously shown guinea-pig macrophage agglutination factor (MAggF-) to be a high mol. wt (greater than or equal to 150,000) T-cell-dependent lymphokine that is antigenically distinct from...

Reversible binding of a guinea-pig lymphokine to gelatin and fibrinogen: possible relationship of macrophage agglutination factor and fibronectin.

Godfrey, H P, Purohit, A

Macrophage agglutination factor (MAggF) is a T-cell-dependent guinea-pig lymphokine with pH stability, heat stability and isoelectric point similar to fibronectin (see preceeding paper for details)....
