Journal ArticleDOI
Design and synthesis of curcumin analogues for in vivo fluorescence imaging and inhibiting copper-induced cross-linking of amyloid beta species in Alzheimer's disease.
Xueli Zhang,Yanli Tian,Yanli Tian,Zeng Li,Xiaoyu Tian,Hongbin Sun,Hong Liu,Anna Moore,Chongzhao Ran +8 more
TL;DR: Curcumin-based near-infrared fluorescence imaging probes for detecting both soluble and insoluble amyloid beta (Aβ) species and then an inhibitor that could attenuate cross-linking of Aβ induced by copper are designed and synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-infrared fluorescence molecular imaging of amyloid beta species and monitoring therapy in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CRANAD-3, a curcumin analog, is capable of detecting both soluble and insoluble Aβ species and could monitor the decrease in Aβs after drug treatment, the first time that NIRF was used to monitor AD therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cannabilactones: a novel class of CB2 selective agonists with peripheral analgesic activity.
Atmaram D. Khanolkar,Dai Lu,Mohab M. Ibrahim,Richard I. Duclos,Ganesh A. Thakur,T. Phillip Malan,Frank Porreca,Vijayabaskar Veerappan,Xiaoyu Tian,Clifford George,Damon A. Parrish,Demetris P. Papahatjis,Alexandros Makriyannis +12 more
TL;DR: The authors' results suggest that the six-membered lactone pharmacophore is critical for CB2 receptor selectivity, and synthesized benzo-6-one analogs possessing high affinity and selectivity for this receptor are CB2 agonists.
Journal ArticleDOI
The conformation, location, and dynamic properties of the endocannabinoid ligand anandamide in a membrane bilayer.
TL;DR: These results are congruent with a hypothesis that anandamide approaches its binding site by laterally diffusing within one membrane leaflet in an extended conformation and interacts with a hydrophobic groove formed by helices 3 and 6 of CB1, where its terminal carbon is positioned close to a key cysteine residue in helix 6 leading to receptor activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
How lipophilic cannabinergic ligands reach their receptor sites
TL;DR: The proposed model is discussed using a group of classical and non-classical cannabinoids as well as the endogenous cannabinoid ligand anandamide to show that such ligands when incorporated in a membrane system assume a preferred orientation and conformation.
