Bone metastases radiopharmaceuticals: an overview.

Curr. Radiopharm. 6(1) , 41-7, (2013)

The skeleton is one of the preferential sites for metastases of solid tumors, and metastatic disease is the most common malignancy of the bone. Diagnosis and evaluation of skeletal metastases require more frequently a combined approach of different diagnostic...

Stability of polydopamine and poly(DOPA) melanin-like films on the surface of polymer membranes under strongly acidic and alkaline conditions

Colloids Surf. B Biointerfaces 110 , 22-8, (2013)

This study investigated the stability of polydopamine and poly(3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) (poly(DOPA)) melanin-like films on the surface of polymer substrates. Three polymer membranes, polypropylene (PP), poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVDF) and nylon, were modif...

Mussel adhesion is dictated by time-regulated secretion and molecular conformation of mussel adhesive proteins.

Nat. Commun. 6 , 8737, (2015)

Interfacial water constitutes a formidable barrier to strong surface bonding, hampering the development of water-resistant synthetic adhesives. Notwithstanding this obstacle, the Asian green mussel Perna viridis attaches firmly to underwater surfaces via a pr...

Investigation of a substrate-specifying residue within Papaver somniferum and Catharanthus roseus aromatic amino acid decarboxylases.

Phytochemistry 106 , 37-43, (2014)

Plant aromatic amino acid decarboxylases (AAADs) catalyze the decarboxylation of aromatic amino acids with either benzene or indole rings. Because the substrate selectivity of AAADs is intimately related to their physiological functions, primary sequence data...

[Paramagnetic calcium melanins].

Biofizika 58(1) , 47-53, (2013)

Treatment of catechol, pyrogallol, DOPA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and natural polyhydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone echinochrome by aqueous solution of potassium superoxide (KO2) in the presence of CaCl2 leads to the formation of water-insoluble dark pigments with ...

Self-healing mussel-inspired multi-pH-responsive hydrogels.

Biomacromolecules 14(2) , 297-301, (2013)

Self-healing hydrogels can be made using either reversible covalent cross-links or coordination chemistry bonds. Here we present a multi-pH-responsive system inspired by the chemistry of blue mussel adhesive proteins. By attaching DOPA to an amine-functionali...

Beneficial effects of natural phenolics on levodopa methylation and oxidative neurodegeneration.

Brain Res. 1497 , 1-14, (2013)

Levodopa (L-DOPA) is widely used for symptomatic management in Parkinson's disease. We recently showed that (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a tea polyphenol, not only inhibits L-DOPA methylation, but also protects against oxidative hippocampal neurodegenerati...

The structure-activity relationship of the series of non-peptide small antagonists for p56lck SH2 domain.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 15 , 3938-50, (2007)

The antagonists for the SH2 domain are regarded as novel therapeutic candidates for cancer, autoimmune disease, and chronic inflammatory disease. Previously, we identified rosmarinic acid (alpha-o-caffeoyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-lactic acid; RosA) from Prunella ...

Preparation and characterization of a photocrosslinkable bioadhesive inspired by marine mussel.

J. Photochem. Photobiol. B, Biol. 119 , 31-6, (2013)

Synthetic adhesives inspired by marine mussel have attracted great attention due to its excellent water-resistance and good biocompatibility. In this study, a photocrosslinkable bioadhesive containing 3,4-Dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (DOPA) functional group, whi...

Marine hydroid perisarc: a chitin- and melanin-reinforced composite with DOPA-iron(III) complexes.

Acta Biomater. 9(9) , 8110-7, (2013)

Many marine invertebrates utilize biomacromolecules as building blocks to form their load-bearing tissues. These polymeric tissues are appealing for their unusual physical and mechanical properties, including high hardness and stiffness, toughness and low den...
