Article Abstract
Cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) have become popular as immunotherapies triggering an immune response achieved via their activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. Many analogs of 2'3'-cGAMP, c-di-GMP, and c-di-AMP have been developed and shown as effective cancer vaccines and immuno-stimulators for the induction of both the adaptive and innate immune systems. Unfortunately, these CDNs have been dosed via intratumor route, which is not convenient, especially for tumors that are difficult to reach. We recently introduced endo-S-CDNs as potent STING agonists but in our prior report we did not evaluate the in vivo efficacies of these novel STING agonists. Herein, we conduct a more extensive structure activity relationship study as well as in vivo evaluation of our best endo-S-CDNs. We demonstrate that endo-S-CDNs can be dosed via subcutaneous route to provide robust protection against MC38 and B16-F10 tumor models.

The stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway represents a promising target in cancer immunotherapy. However, the clinical translation of cyclic dinucleotide (CDN)-based STING agonists remains hindered by insufficient formation of functional CDN-STING complexes. This critical bottleneck arises from two interdependent barriers: inefficient cytosolic CDN delivery and tumor-specific STING silencing via DNA methyltransferase-mediated promoter hypermethylation.

A rapid and automated determination of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is proposed and applied to the evaluation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in real samples. To this end, a sequential injection analyzer with electrochemical detection (SIA-ECD) is proposed with 0.1 mol L Tris-HCl (pH 8.

In response, viruses use phosphodiesterase-mediated oligonucleotide cleavage for immune evasion, a strategy whose diversity has not yet been explored. We used a canonical 2H phosphodiesterase (2H PDE) structure-based search of prokaryotic and eukaryotic viral sequences to identify an exceptional diversity of 2H PDEs across the virome, including enzymes not detectable with sequence search methods alone.

Hyperacetylation of proteins represents a stress to aged organisms. Increased consumption and loss of NAD+ homeostasis underlie a major mechanism for the disturbed acetylation/deacetylation balance during aging. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a versatile chemical compound serving as a coenzyme in metabolic pathways and as a substrate to support the enzymatic functions of sirtuins (SIRTs), poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), and cyclic ADP ribose hydrolase (CD38).
