EM703 improves bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice by the inhibition of TGF-β signaling in lung fibroblasts (2006)

Li, Ying Ji, Azuma, Arata, Usuki, Jiro, Abe, Shinji, Matsuda, Kuniko, Sunazuka, Toshiaki, ...

Abstract Background Fourteen-membered ring macrolides have been effective in reducing chronic airway inflammation and also preventing lung injury and fibrosis in bleomycin-challenged mice via...

Structure activity relationships of spiramycins (1985)

Omura, Satoshi, Sano, Hiroshi, Sunazuka, Toshiaki

Sixty-six derivatives of spiramycin I and neospiramycin I were synthesized and evaluated by four parameters, MIC, affinity to ribosomes (ID50), therapeutic effect in mice and retention time in HPLC....

An anthelmintic compound, nafuredin, shows selective inhibition of complex I in helminth mitochondria

Ōmura, Satoshi, Miyadera, Hiroko, Ui, Hideaki, Shiomi, Kazuro, Yamaguchi, Yuuichi, Masuma, Rokuro, ...

Infections with parasitic helminths are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. New drugs that are parasite specific and minimally toxic to the host are needed to counter these...

Fourteen-Member Macrolides Suppress Interleukin-8 Production but Do Not Promote Apoptosis of Activated Neutrophils

Tsuchihashi, Yoshiko, Oishi, Kazunori, Yoshimine, Hiroyuki, Suzuki, Shoichi, Kumatori, Atsushi, Sunazuka, Toshiaki, ...

A 14-member macrolide was found to inhibit interleukin-8 (IL-8) synthesis in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated neutrophils but did not accelerate apoptosis in activated neutrophils. These data suggest...

Suppression of bone resorption by madindoline A, a novel nonpeptide antagonist to gp130

Hayashi, Masahiko, Rho, Mun-Chual, Enomoto, Akiko, Fukami, Akiko, Kim, Yong-Pil, Kikuchi, Yuji, ...

IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine involved in regulation of differentiation, antibody production, and growth of certain types of tumor cells. Its excessive production plays a major role in...

Molecular Mechanisms of Anti-Inflammatory Action of Erythromycin in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells: Possible Role in the Signaling Pathway That Regulates Nuclear Factor-κB Activation

Desaki, Masashi, Okazaki, Hitoshi, Sunazuka, Toshiaki, Omura, Satoshi, Yamamoto, Kazuhiko, Takizawa, Hajime

Long-term macrolide therapy has been proven to improve survival in patients with diffuse panbronchiolitis. Although its mechanisms remain unknown, previous studies have suggested the effects of...

Azithromycin Inhibits the Formation of Flagellar Filaments without Suppressing Flagellin Synthesis in Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium

Matsui, Hidenori, Eguchi, Masahiro, Ohsumi, Katsufumi, Nakamura, Akio, Isshiki, Yasunori, Sekiya, Kachiko, ...

The present study shows that a sub-MIC of the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin (AZM) diminishes the virulence function of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. We first constructed an...

Stereostructure of luminamicin, an anaerobic antibiotic, via molecular dynamics, NMR spectroscopy, and the modified Mosher method

Gouda, Hiroaki, Sunazuka, Toshiaki, Ui, Hideaki, Handa, Masaki, Sakoh, Yusuke, Iwai, Yuzuru, ...

The absolute stereostructure of luminamicin, an anaerobic antibiotic, has been determined by using conformational analysis via high-temperature molecular dynamics, NMR spectroscopy, and the modified...

Erythromycin derivatives inhibit HIV-1 replication in macrophages through modulation of MAPK activity to induce small isoforms of C/EBPβ

Komuro, Iwao, Sunazuka, Toshiaki, Akagawa, Kiyoko S., Yokota, Yasuko, Iwamoto, Aikichi, Ōmura, Satoshi

Macrophages (MΦs) are a major source of HIV-1 especially in patients with tuberculosis. There are MΦs that are permissive and those that restrict HIV-1. Regulation of hematopoietic cell kinase...
