Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of a New Chemotype Fluorescent Ligand for the P2Y2 Receptor (2024)
Journal Article
Knight, R., Kilpatrick, L. E., Hill, S. J., & Stocks, M. J. (2024). Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of a New Chemotype Fluorescent Ligand for the P2Y2 Receptor. ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, https://doi.org/10.1021/acsmedchemlett.4c00211

The P2Y2 receptor (P2Y2R) is a target for diseases including cancer, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. However, there are insufficient P2Y2R antagonists available for validating P2Y2R function and future drug development. Evaluation...

CXCL17 is an allosteric inhibitor of CXCR4 through a mechanism of action involving glycosaminoglycans (2024)
Journal Article
White, C. W., Platt, S., Kilpatrick, L. E., Dale, N., Abhayawardana, R. S., Dekkers, S., …Hill, S. J. (2024). CXCL17 is an allosteric inhibitor of CXCR4 through a mechanism of action involving glycosaminoglycans. Science Signaling, 17(828), Article abl3758. https://doi.org/10.1126/scisignal.abl3758

CXCL17 is a chemokine principally expressed by mucosal tissues, where it facilitates chemotaxis of monocytes, dendritic cells, and macrophages and has antimicrobial properties. CXCL17 is also implicated in the pathology of inflammatory disorders and... Read More about CXCL17 is an allosteric inhibitor of CXCR4 through a mechanism of action involving glycosaminoglycans.
