Abstract
Cytokines and chemokines play a very important role in a number of inflammatory diseases. In activated T cells, transcription factors such as the activator protein-1 (AP-1) regulate IL-2 production and production of matrix metalloproteinases, the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is essential for the transcriptional regulation of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6, IL-8 and TNFα, and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) is required for the transcriptional regulation of IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-8, IL-13, TNFα, and GM-CSF. During the last few years, several groups have developed inhibitors of AP-1, NF-κB or both, and NFAT. This review article presents the recent progress in the development of inhibitors for AP-1, NF-κB, and NFAT mediated transcriptional activation.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
