Deiodination of Thyroid Hormones by Iodothyronine Deiodinase Mimics

Manna, Debasish (2018-03-26)

Thyroxine is the main secretory hormone of thyroid gland and it is produced in thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide/iodide system. After biosynthesis and secretion of thyroxine, it undergoes multiple ...
Design And Synthesis Of Novel Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors Having Antioxidant Activity

Bhuyan, Bhaskar Jyoti (2011-08-05)

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin I (Ang I) to angiotensin II (AngII). ACE also cleaves the terminal dipeptide of vasodilating hormone bradykinin (a nonapeptide) to its inactive ...
Synthetic Antioxidants : Structure-Activity Correlation Studies Of Glutathione Peroxidase Mimics And Peroxynitrite Scavengers

Bhabak, Krishna Pada (2011-01-11)

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radical anion (O2•¯), hydroxylradical (OH•), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) that are produced during the metabolism of oxygen under oxidative stress in ...
