QUANTITATIVE PREDICTION OF HUMAN PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS OF CKD519, A POTENT INHIBITOR OF CHOLESTERYL ESTER TRANSFER PROTEIN (CETP)

Quantitative Prediction of Human Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of CKD519, a Potent Inhibitor of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP)

CKD519, a selective inhibitor of cholesteryl ester transfer protein(CETP), is undergoing development as an oral agent for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed hyperlipidemia.The aim of this study was to predict the appropriate efficacious dose of CKD519 for humans in terms of the inhibition of CETP activity by developing a CKD519

Variants of the industrially relevant protease KP-43 with suppressed activity under alkaline conditions developed using expanded genetic codes

In the present study, we attempted to control the Hayward Navigator Parts pH profile of the catalytic activity of the industrially relevant alkaline protease KP-43, by incorporating 3-nitro-l-tyrosine and 3-chloro-l-tyrosine at and near the catalytic site.Thirty KP-43 variants containing these non-natural amino acids at the specific positions were

Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), energy budget and their effect on feeding and gustatory processes of foraging honey bees

Abstract The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) of insects is considered an equivalent of the mammalian hormone glucagon as it induces fast mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from the fat body upon Lip brush starvation.Yet, in foraging honey bees, which lack fat body storage for carbohydrates, it was suggested that AKH may have lost its original func

Interactive Effects of Grafting Techniques and Scion-Rootstocks Combinations on Vegetative Growth, Yield and Quality of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

The density of herbaceous crops creates a suitable environment to produce pathogens in the soil that intensify the attack of pathogens traditionally controlled by disinfectant, which are mostly prohibited and unlisted because of their toxicity.Grafting is an alternative technique to enhance abiotic stress tolerance and reduce root diseases due to s
