And the article was included in FASEB Journal in 2013.Name: 2-((3R,6S,9R,12R,17aS)-9-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-6-isobutyl-3-isopropyl-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxohexadecahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4,7,10,13]pentaazacyclopentadecin-12-yl)acetic acid This article mentions the following:
Increased endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels, disordered thiol protein status, and erythrocyte hydration status play important roles in sickle cell disease (SCD) through unresolved mechanisms. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an oxidoreductase that mediates thiol/disulfide interchange reactions. We provide evidence that PDI is present in human and mouse erythrocyte membranes and that selective blockade with monoclonal antibodies against PDI leads to reduced Gardos channel activity (1.6 ± 0.03 to 0.56 ± 0.02 mmol·1013 cell-1·min-1, P<0.001) and d. of sickle erythrocytes (D50: 1.115 ± 0.001 to 1.104 ± 0.001 g/mL, P = 0.012) with an IC50 of 4 ng/mL. We observed that erythrocyte associated-PDI activity was increased in the presence of ET-1 (3.1 ± 0.2 to 5.6 ± 0.4%, P<0.0001) through a mechanism that includes casein kinase II. Consistent with these results, in vivo treatment of BERK sickle transgenic mice with ET-1 receptor antagonists lowered circulating and erythrocyte associated-PDI activity (7.1 ± 0.3 to 5.2 ± 0.2%, P<0.0001) while improving hematol. parameters and Gardos channel activity. Thus, our results suggest that PDI is a novel target in SCD that regulates erythrocyte volume and oxidative stress and may contribute to cellular adhesion and endothelial activation leading to vasoocclusion as observed in SCD. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-((3R,6S,9R,12R,17aS)-9-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-6-isobutyl-3-isopropyl-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxohexadecahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4,7,10,13]pentaazacyclopentadecin-12-yl)acetic acid (cas: 136553-81-6Name: 2-((3R,6S,9R,12R,17aS)-9-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-6-isobutyl-3-isopropyl-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxohexadecahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4,7,10,13]pentaazacyclopentadecin-12-yl)acetic acid).
2-((3R,6S,9R,12R,17aS)-9-((1H-Indol-3-yl)methyl)-6-isobutyl-3-isopropyl-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxohexadecahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a][1,4,7,10,13]pentaazacyclopentadecin-12-yl)acetic acid (cas: 136553-81-6) belongs to indole derivatives. In addition to tryptophan, indigo, and indoleacetic acid, numerous compounds obtainable from plant or animal sources contain the indole molecular structure. Indole plays a fundamental role for QS in E. coli, being one of the signal molecules responsible for the transcription of a variety of genes (gabT, and tnaB ASTD).
