Journal ArticleDOI

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma is a negative regulator of macrophage activation

TL;DR: It is shown that PPAR-γ is markedly upregulated in activated macrophages and inhibits the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase, gelatinase B and scavenger receptor A genes in response to 15d-PGJ2 and synthetic PPar-γ ligands, suggesting that PPARS and locally produced prostaglandin D2 metabolites are involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

PPAR-γ agonists inhibit production of monocyte inflammatory cytokines

TL;DR: Inhibition of cytokine production may help to explain the incremental therapeutic benefit of NSAIDs observed in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis at plasma drug concentrations substantially higher than are required to inhibit prostaglandin G/H synthase (cyclooxygenase).

The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action

TL;DR: The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Third Edition, represents a unique approach to medicinal chemistry based on physical organic chemical principles and reaction mechanisms that rationalize drug action, which allows the reader to extrapolate those core principles and mechanisms to many related classes of drug molecules.

HIV integrase inhibitors

TL;DR: In this article, a series bicyclic pyrimidinone compounds of Formula I were used to inhibit HIV integrase and prevent viral integration into human DNA. This action makes the compounds useful for treating HIV infection and AIDS.

Endothelin receptor antagonists

TL;DR: In this article, novel formulations of furans and thiophenes, pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and their use as endothelin receptor antagonists are described, as well as their applications in the field of drug development.
