Structure-based exploration and pharmacological evaluation of N-substituted piperidin-4-yl-methanamine CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonists (2018)
Journal Article

Using the available structural information of the chemokine receptor CXCR4, we present hit finding and hit exploration studies that make use of virtual fragment screening, design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Fragment... Read More about Structure-based exploration and pharmacological evaluation of N-substituted piperidin-4-yl-methanamine CXCR4 chemokine receptor antagonists.

Micro-pharmacokinetics: quantifying local drug concentration at live cell membranes (2018)
Journal Article

Fundamental equations for determining pharmacological parameters, such as the binding afnity of a ligand for its target receptor, assume a homogeneous distribution of ligand, with concentrations in the immediate vicinity of the receptor being the sam...

Development of novel fluorescent histamine H?-receptor antagonists to study ligand-binding kinetics in living cells (2018)
Journal Article

The histamine H1-receptor (H1R) is an important mediator of allergy and inflammation. H1R antagonists have particular clinical utility in allergic rhinitis and urticaria. Here we have developed six novel fluorescent probes for this receptor that are...

Fluorescently Labeled Morphine Derivatives for Bioimaging Studies (2018)
Journal Article

Opioids, like morphine, are the mainstay analgesics for the treatment and control of pain. Despite this, they often exhibit severe side effects that limit dose; patients often become tolerant and dependent on these drugs, which remains a major health...
