Muramyl Dipeptide as a Therapeutic Agent for Inflammation
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) protein plays a key role in innate immunity as a sensor of muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a breakdown product of bacterial peptidoglycan. Bacterial peptidoglycan promotes the innate immune response through the activation of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), which ultimately provokes inflammation. Activation...

Prodrugs of Short-Chain Fatty Acids for Treatment of Intestinal Disorders and Colon Cancer
Current State of the Art: Colon cancer, IBS, Crohn’s disease and colitis present as some of the most difficult diseases to treat with the medications available currently. Treatment can be as drastic as surgery, chemotherapy, medications, such as cortisone, which can have sometimes serious and debilitating side effects. Colon cancer is treated with...

A Molecular Scaffold for Colonic Drug Delivery
A molecule which passes through the gastrointestinal tract was successfully synthesized and tested for GI MRI imaging in mice. A molecular scaffold bearing eight terminal alkyne groups was synthesized from sucrose, and copies of an azide-terminated Gd-DOTA complex were attached via copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. This contrast agent...
