Celadrin(R) Research Unveiled at Nutrigenomics 2008 Meeting in Paris, France

... organization for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. In these in vitro studies, Celadrin(R) was shown to inhibit the thromboxane synthase enzyme using prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) and prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) as substrates. Thromboxane is a very strong facilitator of inflammation and local ...

New approach may render disease-causing staph harmless

... in Staph. He also knew that many compounds already had been developed to block the human enzyme. I thought there was a good chance that squalene synthase inhibitors developed early on as cholesterol lowering agents might also work on this other pathway, he said. Current cholesterol-lowering drugs like ...

ADVENTRX Announces Fast Track Designation Granted By the FDA For CoFactor For the Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

... agent 5-FU. In comparison to leucovorin, CoFactor creates more stable binding of the active form of 5-FU to the target enzyme, thymidylate synthase (TS). CoFactor bypasses the metabolic pathway required by leucovorin to deliver the active form of folate, allowing 5-FU to work more effectively. ...
