Araf51 with improved transglycosylation activities: one engineered biocatalyst for one specific acceptor.

Carbohydr. Res. 402 , 50-5, (2014)

A random mutagenesis of the arabinofuranosyl hydrolase Araf51 has been run in order to have access to efficient biocatalysts for the synthesis of alkyl arabinofuranosides. The mutants were selected on their ability to catalyze the transglycosylation reaction ...

Chemoenzymatic Syntheses of Sialylated Oligosaccharides Containing C5-Modified Neuraminic Acids for Dual Inhibition of Hemagglutinins and Neuraminidases.

Chemistry 21 , 10903-12, (2015)

A fast chemoenzymatic synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides containing C5-modified neuraminic acids is reported. Analogues of GM3 and GM2 ganglioside saccharidic portions where the acetyl group of NeuNAc has been replaced by a phenylacetyl (PhAc) or a prop...

Gastroprotective effect of crocin in ethanol-induced gastric injury in rats.

Chem. Biol. Interact. 229 , 26-35, (2015)

The present study investigated the gastroprotective effect of crocin in ethanol-induced gastric injury in rats. Rats were allocated into a normal group, an ulcer group, a crocin-treated group, an ulcer group pretreated with crocin, and an ulcer group pretreat...

Interaction of ceruloplasmin with eosinophil peroxidase as compared to its interplay with myeloperoxidase: Reciprocal effect on enzymatic properties.

Free Radic. Res. 49 , 800-11, (2015)

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) are involved in the development of halogenative stress during inflammation. We previously described a complex between MPO and ceruloplasmin (CP). Considering the high structural homology between MPO and EP...

Defective macroautophagic turnover of brain lipids in the TgCRND8 Alzheimer mouse model: prevention by correcting lysosomal proteolytic deficits.

Brain 137(Pt 12) , 3300-18, (2014)

Autophagy, the major lysosomal pathway for the turnover of intracellular organelles is markedly impaired in neurons in Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer mouse models. We have previously reported that severe lysosomal and amyloid neuropathology and associated ...

Quantum mechanical and experimental oxidation studies of pentadecylresorcinol, olivetol, orcinol and resorcinol.

Free Radic. Res. 28(4) , 359-68, (1998)

Resorcinols (pentadecylresorcinol, olivetol, orcinol and resorcinol) exhibit antioxidant properties in liposomal systems. Antioxidant potency depends on the length of the alkyl chain. Pentadecylresorcinol has been demonstrated to be the most active antioxidan...

Ganglioside and Non-ganglioside Mediated Host Responses to the Mouse Polyomavirus.

PLoS Pathog. 11 , e1005175, (2015)

Gangliosides serve as receptors for internalization and infection by members of the polyomavirus family. Specificity is determined by recognition of carbohydrate moieties on the ganglioside by the major viral capsid protein VP1. For the mouse polyomavirus (Mu...

Biphenyl 4-Hydroxylases Involved in Aucuparin Biosynthesis in Rowan and Apple Are Cytochrome P450 736A Proteins.

Plant Physiol. 168 , 428-42, (2015)

Upon pathogen attack, fruit trees such as apple (Malus spp.) and pear (Pyrus spp.) accumulate biphenyl and dibenzofuran phytoalexins, with aucuparin as a major biphenyl compound. 4-Hydroxylation of the biphenyl scaffold, formed by biphenyl synthase (BIS), is ...

Characterisation of triterpenes and new phenolic lipids in Cameroonian propolis.

Phytochemistry 106 , 156-63, (2014)

Chemical investigation of a sample of propolis originating from North-Western Cameroon led to the isolation of thirteen alk(en)ylphenols (1-13) (inseparable mixture) along with α-amyrin (14), β-amyrin (15), lupeol (16), cycloartenol (17), mangiferonic acid (1...

Brain oxidative damage restored by Sesbania grandiflora in cigarette smoke-exposed rats.

Metab. Brain Dis. 30 , 959-68, (2015)

Cigarette smoking has been associated with high risk of neurological diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc., The present study was designed to evaluate the restorative effects of Sesbania grandiflora (S. grandiflora) on oxidati...
