5-Aminovaleric acid and ornithine were evaluated as linkers for the cyclization of beta-dipeptides. Two linked examples of beta-Ala-beta-Ala were prepared by standard coupling methods and their conformations probed by NMR, CD, and computational means. The data suggest that these non-

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated by 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has been used for the treatment of age-related skin lesions for therapeutic or cosmetic purposes. The modulation of collagen component and structure might play a significant role in influencing treatment outcomes

Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a soil microorganism that attaches to seeds and efficiently colonizes the plant's rhizosphere. Lysine is one of the major compounds in root exudates, and P. putida KT2440 uses this amino acid as a source of carbon

Experiments on Wistar rats addressed the possibility of dissociated learning using drugs acting directly on brain GABA(B) receptors. A previously suggested hypothesis was tested: that the cholinergic system of the brain plays the decisive role in the mechanisms of dissociative
European journal of pharmacology, 567(1-2), 171-176 (2007-05-08)
A number of analogues of the prototypical peptide for-Met-Leu-Phe-OMe (fMLP-OMe) have been studied in order to evaluate their ability to interact with formylpeptide receptors and to induce specific biological responses in human neutrophils. In vitro assays were carried out and
