Abstract

The ADAM Family of Proteases provides the first comprehensive review of the roles of ADAMs and the related ADAMTS proteases in biology and disease. Although a few members of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease) family have been known for some time, it is only in recent years through advances in genome sequencing that the large size of this family of zinc metalloproteases has become apparent. These proteins have multiple domains including a protease domain and a disintegrin domain. A branch of the family, called ADAMTS, also have thrombospondin-like motifs. The role of ADAMs and ADAMTS members in a diversity of biological processes is gradually coming to light. For example, some ADAMs have critical roles in the ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins including tumour necrosis factor-a, the cell signalling molecule Notch and the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein. Other ADAM and ADAMTS family members have key roles to play in sperm function and fertility, collagen processing, development, cardiac hypertrophy and arthritis.

Abstract

This doctoral thesis by Arjan Hubert Hendrik Mofers explores the use of proteasome inhibitors in cancer therapy, focusing on the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS), which plays a crucial role in protein degradation. The work evaluates the potential of targeting the 19S regulatory subunit of the UPS to inhibit cancer cell growth by preventing the breakdown of misfolded proteins. The thesis investigates resistance mechanisms to the 19S enzyme inhibitor b-AP15 and its effectiveness in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It also examines novel compounds as selective UPS inhibitors. The research aims to enhance cancer treatment by disrupting protein homeostasis in cancer cells. This work is intended for researchers and professionals in oncology and pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects 180 million people in the world and causes a lot of chronic hepatitis with their complications. Different genotypes of the virus exist. In Europe and the United States, genotype 1 has the greatest prevalence. This thesis will discuss the protease inhibitors, one of the new classes in the treatment of hepatitis C. These inhibit the NS3/4A protease and block the posttraductional and replication process of the virus. Three protease inhibitors: boceprevir. telaprevir and simeprevir, are currently on the market, others are under development. The addition of one of the first protease inhibitors, boceprevir or telaprevir, to a combination of peg-interferon alfa and ribavirine, provides an increase of sustained virologic response in patients affected by genotype 1. This improvement of response goes with a higher risk of adverse events, more interactions and a low barrier to resistance. The second wave of the first generation, which contains simeprevir, and the second generation of protease inhibitors have a larger genotypic activity, less toxicity and a simplified dose scheduling. Furthermore, the second generation has a greater resistance barrier. Several treatments combining one of the new protease inhibitors to another direct-acting antiviral (DAA) are in late stage of development. One is already approved, the association of simeprevir and sofosbuvir (NS5B inhibitor). This allows obtaining ail-oral interferon­ free treatments independent of genotype and so avoiding the disadvantages of interferon. Le virus de l'hépatite C (VHC) infecte au niveau mondial 180 millions de personnes et cause de nombreux cas d'hépatites chroniques. Celles-ci génèrent de multiples complications. Différents génotypes du virus existent. En Europe et aux Etats-Unis, le génotype 1 a la plus grande prévalence. Ce mémoire porte sur les inhibiteurs de protéase, une des nouvelles classes de médicaments dans le traitement de l'hépatite C. Ceux-ci inhibent la protéase NS3/4A et bloquent ainsi le processus post­ traductionnel et le processus de réplication du VHC. Trois inhibiteurs de protéase : le bocéprévir, le télaprévir et le siméprévir, sont actuellement mis sur le marché, d'autres sont en phase de développement. L'ajout d'un des premiers inhibiteurs de protéase, le bocéprévir ou le télaprévir, à une combinaison de peg-interféron alfa et de ribavirine, permet d'obtenir une augmentation du taux de réponse virologique soutenue (RVS) chez les patients atteints par le génotype 1. Cette amélioration en termes de réponse s'accompagne d'une augmentation d'effets indésirables, de plus d'interactions médicamenteuses et d'une barrière contre la résistance faible. La deuxième vague de première génération, à laquelle le siméprévir appartient, et la deuxième génération d'inhibiteurs de protéase ont une activité génotypique plus large, moins d'effets indésirables et un schéma posologique simplifié. De plus, la deuxième génération est moins sujette à un développement de résistance. Plusieurs traitements combinant de nouveaux inhibiteurs de protéase à d'autres agents antiviraux directs (AADs) sont en phase de développement avancé. L'un d'eux est déjà approuvé, la combinaison du siméprévir et du sofosbuvir (inhibiteur de la NSSB). Ceci permet d'obtenir des traitements uniquement par voie orale, non dépendants du génotype et évitant l'interféron et ses inconvénients.

Abstract

This dissertation by Veronica Sandgren focuses on the design and synthesis of inhibitors targeting BACE-1, an aspartic protease involved in Alzheimer's disease. The research aims to develop therapeutic agents by creating various inhibitors that can prevent the formation of amyloid-β peptides, which are associated with the pathology of Alzheimer's. The thesis discusses the structure-activity relationship of synthesized inhibitors, including linear, cyclic, and macrocyclic compounds. It also examines the challenges of improving cell permeability while maintaining potency. The intended audience is researchers and professionals in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly those working on Alzheimer's treatments.

Abstract

Viral Proteases and Their Inhibitors provides a thorough examination of viral proteases from their molecular components, to therapeutic applications. As information on three dimensional structures and biological functions of these viral proteases become known, unexpected protein folds and unique mechanisms of proteolysis are realized. This book investigates how this facilitates the design and development of potent antiviral agents used against life-threatening viruses. Users will find descriptions of each virus that detail the structure and function of viral proteases, discuss the design and development of inhibitors, and analyze the structure-activity relationships of inhibitors. This book is ideal biochemists, virologists and those working on antiviral agents.
