Oligolamellar phospholipid vesicles incorporated with d-amino acid oxidase from porcine kidney (OV-DAO) were prepared by encapsulating pre-formed enzyme-bound unilamellar vesicles (UV-DAO) with bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). The bilayer of UV-DAO was composed of POPC, 30 mol% of cholesterol and 15

Inhibition of d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) activity is a potential target for the treatment of chronic pain. Here we characterized the effects of systemic administration of the DAAO inhibitor 4H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid (SUN) in rat models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain.

Polyriboinosinic-polyribocytidilic acid (polyI:C) is a synthetic analog that elicits viral-like immune responses in mammals. We have recently found that polyI:C treatment in neonatal mice induced abnormalities of emotional, cognitive, and sensorimotor gating and dysfunction of glutamatergic neurotransmission in adulthood.

D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a degradative enzyme that is stereospecific for D-amino acids, including D-serine and D-alanine, which are potential coagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Dysfunction of NMDA receptor-mediated neurotransmission has been implicated in the onset of various
