Image-Based Marker-Free Screening of GABA(A) Agonists, Antagonists, and Modulators

Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi, Pierre Marquet, Pascal Jourdain

The ionotropic GABA(A) receptors represent the main target for different groups of widely used drugs having hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. So far, most approaches used to assess GABA activity involve invasive low -throughput electrophysiological techniqu ...

A Universal Assay for Aminopeptidase Activity and Its Application for Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Drug Discovery

Gerardo Turcatti, Marc Chambon, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Elena Goun, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Arkadiy Bazhin, James William Collins

Aminopeptidases, such as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4, CD26), are potent therapeutic targets for pharmacological interventions because they play key roles in many important pathological pathways. To analyze amino-peptidase activity in vitro (including hig ...

An optimized and validated 384-well plate assay to test platelet function in a high-throughput screening format

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Olivier Burri, Marc Chambon, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Augusto Martins Lima, Maiia Bragina

Despite significant advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high risk of hemorrhage. In order to develop new drugs, methods to measure platelet function must be adapted for the high-throughpu ...

Fluorescent Benzothiazinone Analogues Efficiently and Selectively Label Dpre1 in Mycobacteria and Actinobacteria

Paul Joseph Dyson, Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Thierry Laroche, Jérémie Piton, Joao Pedro De Almeida Neres, Raphael Christopher Sommer, Raju Mukherjee

Benzothiazinones (BTZ) are highly potent bactericidal inhibitors of mycobacteria and the lead compound, BTZ043, and the optimized drug candidate, PBTZ169, have potential for the treatment of tuberculosis. Here, we exploited the tractability of the BTZ scaf ...

A design of experiment approach for efficient multi-parametric drug testing using a Caenorhabditis elegans model

Martinus Gijs, Matteo Cornaglia, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Maria Cristina Letizia, Giuseppe Tranchida

When studying the drug effectiveness towards a target model, one should distinguish the effects of the drug itself and of all the other factors that could influence the screening outcome. This comprehensive knowledge is crucial, especially when model organ ...

Computational design of environmental sensors for the potent opioid fentanyl

Kai Johnsson, Luc Reymond

We describe the computational design of proteins that bind the potent analgesic fentanyl. Our approach employs a fast docking algorithm to find shape complementary ligand placement in protein scaffolds, followed by design of the surrounding residues to opt ...

A computer-based prediction platform for the reaction of ozone with organic compounds in aqueous solution: kinetics and mechanisms

Urs von Gunten, Minju Lee, Kathrin Fenner

Ozonation of secondary wastewater effluents can reduce the discharge of micropollutants by transforming their chemical structures. Therefore, a better understanding of the formation of transformation products during ozonation is important. In this study, a ...
