Abstract
The image shows the structure of the positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent [18F]NP3-627, which can penetrate the brain and bind to the NACHT domain of NLRP3. In the background, we see the structure of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, whose increased expression in inflammatory conditions offers the potential for [18F]NP3-627 to quantify inflammation in e.g., Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, or associated with other causes of neurodegeneration. Such a biomarker will facilitate the development of anti-inflammatory drugs acting on the NLRP3 inflammasome, as novel treatments for these conditions. More details can be found in article 10.1002/cmdc.202400816 by Yves P. Auberson and co-workers.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
