Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Epidural steroid injections are widely used to treat spinal and radiating pain. However, crystal formation has recently been reported in mixtures of ropivacaine and nonparticulate steroids, commonly used in epidural steroid injections. OBJECTIVES: Our study assessed the physicochemical stability of mixtures of different nonparticulate steroids and ropivacaine and aimed to propose a safe regimen for epidural steroid injections. STUDY DESIGN: An in vitro protocol was used to examine the physicochemical stability of epidural steroid injection mixtures most commonly used at our institu

Abstract:

Nature is highly efficient at producing chiral compounds that are enantiomerically pure. The inherent chirality of naturally occurring biomolecules means that many have the potential to be used as chiral dopants for cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) systems. Though many biomolecules have been identified as chiral dopants, many remain yet to be probed for their ability to function as chiral dopants. Here, 10 naturally occurring biomolecules comprised of steroids and bile acids were tested as chiral dopants for CLCs. Progesterone was identified as having high miscibility with nematic liquid cryst

Abstract:

Three crystal forms of the steroid 20-hydroxyecdysone were identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: a solvent-free modification, a methanol solvate hydrate and a trihydrate. The structure of a closely related steroid, polypodine B (the 5,20-dihydroxy derivative of ecdysone), was determined in its monohydrate form. Since the unit-cell volume of unsolvated 20-hydroxyecdysone was found to be considerably smaller than that of ecdysone [Huber & Hoppe (1965). Chem.

Abstract:

CYP154C5 fromNocardia farcinicais a bacterial cytochrome P450 monooxygenase active on steroid molecules. The enzyme has recently been shown to exhibit exclusive regioselectivity and stereoselectivity in the conversion of various pregnans and androstans, yielding 16α-hydroxylated steroid products. This makes the enzyme an attractive candidate for industrial application in steroid hormone synthesis. Here, crystal structures of CYP154C5 in complex with four different steroid molecules were solved at resolutions of up to 1.9 Å. These are the first reported P450 structures from the CYP154 family in

Abstract:

Four new steroids, anthosterone A (5), anthosterone B (6), and the Δ4-3,6-diketo steroids 7 and 8, have been isolated from the sponge Anthoarcuata graceae. The structures of anthosterones A (5) and B (6) were deduced from their spectral data and verified via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis on 5. The proposed structures for steroids 7 and 8 were based on spectral analysis and confirmed by synthesis of a model compound 12. Anthosterones A and B represent the first examples of a new type of ring A contraction in a steroid nucleus.

The crystal structures of six synthetic 2-oxa-steroids (A-ring lactone steroids) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The conformation and hydrogen bonding in these oxa-steroids is compared with packing motifs in the natural steroids and the anabolic agent, Anavar®. O—H...O hydrogen bonding with lactone carbonyl O is the preferred arrangement in molecules with a C—OH group. The donor H atoms of A, B and D rings participate in C—H...O interactions with lactone carbonyl O and D-ring hydroxyl/ketone O acceptor atoms. The conformation of the lactone ring in these analogues is

Abstract:

Abstract The SCP2 (sterol carrier protein 2)-thiolase (type-1) functions in the vertebrate peroxisomal, bile acid synthesis pathway, converting 24-keto-THC-CoA and CoA into choloyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. This conversion concerns the β-oxidation chain shortening of the steroid fatty acyl-moiety of 24-keto-THC-CoA. This class of dimeric thiolases has previously been poorly characterized. High-resolution crystal structures of the zebrafish SCP2-thiolase (type-1) now reveal an open catalytic site, shaped by residues of both subunits.

Steroids are found in bacteria and eukaryotes, and genes potentially encoding steroid metabolic enzymes have also been identified in giant viruses. For decades, hydroxylated steroids have been utilized in medicine to treat various human diseases. The hydroxylation of steroids can be achieved using microbial enzymes, especially cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYPs/P450s) and is well documented. Understanding the structural determinants that govern the regio- and stereoselectivity of steroid hydroxylation by P450s is essential in order to fully exploit their potential.

Matrix vesicles are key players in the development of the growth plate during endochondral bone formation. They are involved in the turnover of the extracellular matrix and its mineralization, as well as being a vehicle for chondrocyte communication and regulation. These extracellular organelles are released by the cells and are anchored to the matrix via integrin binding to collagen. The exact function and makeup of the vesicles are dependent on the zone of the growth plate in which they are produced.

Arterial media calcification refers to the pathological deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the arterial wall. This pathology is a common and life-threatening complication in chronic kidney disease, diabetes and osteoporosis patients. Recently, we reported that the use of a TNAP inhibitor, SBI-425, attenuated arterial media calcification in a warfarin rat model. Employing a high-dimensionality unbiased proteomic approach, we also investigated the molecular signaling events associated with blocking arterial calcification through SBI-425 dosing.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a postoperative complication that occurs in 1%–2% of the arthroplasties. Once it occurs, PJI is refractory to treatment. Similar symptoms of PJI, including joint synovitis and elevated body temperature, sometimes arise because of crystal arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory diseases. Precise diagnosis is essential for determining the optimal treatment strategy. Patient concerns: An 81-year-old female patient with a history of bilat
