Tuftsin-Properties and Analogs
PublicationImmunomodulation is one of the significant therapeutic strategies. It includes both stimulation or suppression of the immune system by a variety of substances called immunomodulators, designed to regulate the immune response of the organism to infections of varying etiology. An example of such a substance is tuftsin (TKPA) 3 (Fig. (1)). Tuftsin is an endogenous immunomodulator of a wide spectrum of biological activity. Tetrapeptide...

Synthesis of conjugates of MDP and nor-MDP linked to tuftsin derivatives as potential immunomodulators
PublicationZsyntetyzowano nowe koniugaty muramylodipeptydu (MDP) i nor-muramylo-dipeptydu (nor-MDP) z pochodnymi tuftsyny zawierającymi wiązanie izopeptydowe na epsilon-aminowej grupie lizyny jako potencjalne immunomodulatory. Do syntezy wykorzystano metodę mieszanych bezwodników z chloromrówczanem izobutylu i N-metylomorfoliną w bezwodnym DMF. Końcowe produkty charakteryzowno za pomocą NMR, analizy elementarnej i analizy aminokwasowej na...

The influence of Nigella sativa essential oil on proliferation, activation, and apoptosis of human T lymphocytes in vitro
PublicationIn previous work, we tested the immunomodulatory effect of Nigella sativa (NS) fatty oil. Our results demonstrated that unrefined, obtained by cold pressing black cumin seed oil inhibited lymphocytes’ proliferation and induced their apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, we examined the immunomodulatory properties of essential oil (EO) obtained from the NS seeds by hydrodistillation and its two main constituents:...

The biological activity of new tuftsin derivatives - induction of phagocytosis
PublicationFagocytoza odgrywa ważną rolę w ochronie organizmu przed różnymi mikroorganizmami. Proces ten może być indukowany przez różne czynniki np. endogenny immunomodulator jakim jest tuftsyna czy muramylo-dipeptyd (MDP), najmniejszy syntetyczny glikopeptyd bakteryjnej ściany komórkowej. Zsyntetyzowano nowe analogi MDP i nor-MDP z tuftsyną i retro-tuftsyną, które są zdolne do indukowania fagocytozy. Najbardziej obiecujące okazały się dwa...

Opioid Growth Factor and its Derivatives as Potential Non-toxic Multifunctional Anticancer and Analgesic Compounds
PublicationIn this paper, we review the structure-activity relationship of OGF and its analogues. We highlight also OGF derivatives with analgesic, immunomodulatory activity and the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and may be used as safe agents enhancing chemotherapy efficacy and improving quality of life in cancer patients. The reviewed papers indicate that Met-enkephalin and its analogues are interesting candidates for the...

Differential expression profile between amygdala and blood during chronic lithium treatment in a rat model of depression – a pilot study
PublicationLithium is a mood stabilizer widely used in the pharmacotherapy of bipolar disorder and treatment‑resistant depression. Taking into account dysregulated inflammatory activity in depression and the immunomodulatory role of lithium, we hypothesized that genes associated with inflammatory responses may be potential biomarkers of lithium action. We aimed to compare gene expression changes between the brain and the periphery after...

Tuftsin - new analogues and properties
PublicationTuftsyna zbudowana z czterech reszt aminokwasowych (TKPR), jest najmniejszym endogennym immunomodulatorem występującym w naturze we krwi człowieka i innych ssaków. Została wyizolowana w 1970 roku na Uniwersytecie Tufts w Bostonie (USA) przez Najjara i Nishioka. Wykazuje ona działanie nie tylko immunostymulujące, ale również przeciwbakteryjne, przeciwwirusowe, przeciwnowotworowe oraz przeciwgrzybicze. W artykule opisano nowe właściwości...

Mapping the Structural and Dynamic Determinants of pH-Sensitive Heparin Binding to Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor
PublicationGranulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GMCSF) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that is harnessed as a therapeutic. GMCSF is known to interact with other clinically important molecules, such as heparin, suggesting that endogenous and administered GMCSF has the potential to modulate orthogonal treatment outcomes. Thus, molecular level characterization of GMCSF and its interactions with biologically active compounds is critical...

Conjugates of tuftsin and muramyl dipeptide as stimulators of monocyte-derived dendritic cells
PublicationOstatnio coraz częściej bada się związki oddziałujące na komórki dendrytyczne. Muramylodipeptyd i jego analogi przyspieszają dojrzewanie i aktywację komórek dendrytycznych. Do naszych badań otrzymaliśmy komórki dendrytyczne na drodze ekspansji z monocytów krwi obwodowej. Właściwa suplementacja hodowli monocytów czynnikami wzrostowymi - GM-CSF i IL-4, pozwoliła na uzyskanie niedojrzałych komórek dendrytycznych, które stymulowano...
