  5. 3. Natural Products as Leads for Pharmaceutically Active Compounds

    Author : Pia Kahnberg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; scaffold hopping; Catalyst; anxiety; benzodiazepine site; GABAA receptor; pharmacophore model; flavones; SAR; antifungal activity; Complex I; pterulone; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik;

    Abstract : In the search for new pharmaceutically active compounds, it is recognized that Nature produces structurally different compounds in a great variety. By having the compounds or extracts tested in defined systems, new drugs or more often leads (a compound that has an interesting but moderate activity) can be found. READ MORE

  6. 4. Midkine - a host defence protein

    Author : Sara Nordin; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial polypeptides; Midkine; antibacterial; antifungal; innate immunity; epithelial surfaces;

    Abstract : Every day we encounter many potentially harmful microbes in our environment. The epithelial linings constitute an anatomical barrier protecting us and they also produce antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) that act as a chemical barrier. These AMPs are small and positively charged, killing a broad range of microbes rapidly. READ MORE
