Severe COVID-19 is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokine release syndrome (cytokine storm) which causes high morbidity and mortality. Recent observational and clinical studies suggest famotidine, a histamine 2 receptor (H2R) antagonist widely used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, attenuates the clinical

European journal of medicinal chemistry, 35(1), 5-20 (2000-03-25)
In this review the histaminergic ligands for the histamine H(1), H(2) and H(3) receptors, which are currently used as tools in pharmacological studies, are described. To study interactions with the histamine H(1) receptor, the H(1) agonist 2-aminoethylthiazole has long since

We synthesized and experimentally tested the passive permeability of more than thirty tetrapeptides mimicking the N-terminus of the pro-apoptotic protein Smac (Second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases). Each peptide bore one or two unnatural Hydrogen Bond Acceptor-bearing Amino Acid (HBA-AA) residues
