Modulation of proteasome machinery by natural and synthetic analogues of the marine bioactive compound petrosaspongiolide m.
Summary of "Modulation of proteasome machinery by natural and synthetic analogues of the marine bioactive compound petrosaspongiolide m."
Natural or synthetic? Several petrosaspongiolide M natural and synthetic analogues have been tested as proteasome inhibitors and apoptosis modulators. The natural petrosaspongiolide M congeners gave a consistent decrease in activity. Among the synthetic analogues, the introduction of the benzothiophene ring resulted in a bioequivalent alternative of the petrosaspongiolide M terpenoid system.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Antigenic Modulation
Loss of detectable antigen from the surface of a cell after incubation with antibodies. This is one method in which some tumors escape detection by the immune system. Antigenic modulation of target antigens also reduces the therapeutic effectiveness of treatment by monoclonal antibodies.
Juvenile Hormones
Compounds, either natural or synthetic, which block development of the growing insect.
Alpha-tocopherol
A natural tocopherol and one of the most potent antioxidant tocopherols. It exhibits antioxidant activity by virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus. It has four methyl groups on the 6-chromanol nucleus. The natural d form of alpha-tocopherol is more active than its synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol racemic mixture.
Nevirapine
A potent, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used in combination with nucleoside analogues for treatment of HIV infection and AIDS.
Bone Substitutes
Synthetic or natural materials for the replacement of bones or bone tissue. They include hard tissue replacement polymers, natural coral, hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and various other biomaterials. The bone substitutes as inert materials can be incorporated into surrounding tissue or gradually replaced by original tissue.
