    Abstract In our project herein, we use the case of farmworkers, an underserved and understudied population at high risk for Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), as a paradigm of an integrated action-oriented research, education and extension approach involving the development of long-term equitable strategies providing empowerment and tailored-made solutions that support practical decision-making aiming to reduce risk of T2DM and ensuing cardiovascular disease (CVD). A Technology-based Empowerment Didactic module (TEDm) and an Informed Decision-Making enhancer (IDMe) coupled in a smart application (app) for farmworkers aiming to teach, set goals, monitor, and support in terms of nutrition, hydration, physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythm towards lowering T2DM risk, is to be developed and implemented considering the particular characteristics of the population and setting. In parallel, anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical assessments will be utilized to monitor risk parameters for T2DM and compliance to dietary and wellness plans. The app incorporating anthropometric/clinical/biochemical parameters, dietary/lifestyle behavior, and extent of goal achievement can be continuously refined and improved through machine learning and re-programming. The app can function as a programmable tool constantly learning, adapting, and tailoring its services to user needs helping optimization of practical informed decision-making towards mitigating disease symptoms and associated risk factors. This work can benefit apart from the direct beneficiaries being farmworkers, the stakeholders who will be gaining a healthier, more vibrant workforce, and in turn the local communities.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a refractory disease in need of novel efficacious therapy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of tumor-targeting Salmonella typhimurium A1-R (S. typhimurium A1-R) using on a patient derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model of imatinib-resistant GIST. The GIST was obtained from a patient with regional recurrence, and implanted in the anterior gastric wall of nude mice. The GIST PDOX mice were randomized into 3 groups of 6 mice each when the tumor volume reached 60 mm3: G1, control group; G2, imatinib group (oral administration [p.o.], daily, for 3 weeks); G3, S. typhimurium A1-R group (intravenous [i.v.] injection, weekly, for 3 weeks). All mice from each group were sacrificed on day 22. Relative tumor volume was estimated by laparotomy on day 0 and day 22. Body weight of the mouse was evaluated 2 times per week. We found that S. typhimurium A1-R significantly reduced tumor growth in contrast to the untreated group (P = 0.001). In addition, we found that S. typhimurium A1-R was more effective compared to imatinib (P = 0.013). Furthermore, Imatinib was not significantly effective compared to the control group (P = 0.462). These results indicate that S. typhimurium A1-R may be new effective therapy for imatinib-resistant GIST and therefore a good candidate for clinical development of this disease.

    Abstract The synthesis and SAR of a series of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine P2X7 antagonists are described. Addressing P2X7 affinity and liver microsomal stability issues encountered with this template afforded methyl substituted 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridines ultimately leading to the identification of 1 (JNJ 54166060). 1 is a potent P2X7 antagonist with an ED50 = 2.3 mg/kg in rats, high oral bioavailability and low-moderate clearance in preclinical species, acceptable safety margins in rats, and a predicted human dose of 120 mg of QD. Additionally, 1 possesses a unique CYP profile and was found to be a regioselective inhibitor of midazolam CYP3A metabolism.

    Abstract The synthesis of a series of (R)-3-[2-(2-amino)phenethyl]-1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-6-methyluracils containing a substituted thiophene or thiazole at C-5 is described. SAR around C-5 of the uracil led to the discovery that a 2-thienyl or (2-phenyl)thiazol-4-yl group is required for optimal receptor binding. The best compound from the series had a binding affinity of 2 nM (K(i)) for the human GnRH receptor. A novel and convenient preparation of N-1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-6-methyluracil is also described.

    Abstract 2-[(R)-2-Hydroxypropylthio]ethanesulfonate (R-HPC) dehydrogenase (DH) catalyzes the reversible oxidation of R-HPC to 2-(2-ketopropylthio)ethanesulfonate (2-KPC) in a key reaction in the bacterial conversion of chiral epoxides to beta-keto acids. R-HPCDH is highly specific for the R-enantiomer of HPC, while a separate enzyme, S-HPCDH, catalyzes the oxidation of the corresponding S-enantiomer. In the present study, the features of substrate and enzyme imparting stereospecificity have been investigated for R-HPCDH. S-HPC was a substrate for R-HPCDH with a K(m) identical to that for R-HPC but with a k(cat) 600 times lower. Achiral 2-propanol and short-chain (R)- and (S)-2-alkanols were substrates for R-HPCDH. For (R)-alkanols, as the carbon chain length increased, K(m) decreased, with the K(m) for (R)-2-octanol being 1700 times lower than for 2-propanol. At the same time, k(cat) changed very little and was at least 90% lower than k(cat) for R-HPC and at least 22 times higher than k(cat) for S-HPC. (S)-2-Butanol and (S)-2-pentanol were substrates for R-HPCDH. The K(m) for (S)-2-butanol was identical to that for (R)-2-butanol, while the K(m) for (S)-2-pentanol was 7.5 times higher than for (R)-2-pentanol. Longer chain (S)-2-alkanols were sufficiently poor substrates for R-HPCDH that kinetic parameters could not be determined. Mutagenesis of C-terminal arginine residues of R-HPCDH revealed that R152 and R196 are essential for effective catalysis with the natural substrates R-HPC and 2-KPC but not for catalysis with 2-alkanols or ketones as substrates. Short-chain alkylsulfonates and coenzyme M (2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) were found to modify the kinetic parameters for 2-butanone reduction by R-HPCDH in a saturable fashion, with the general effect of increasing k(cat), decreasing K(m), and increasing the enantioselectivity of 2-butanone reduction to a theoretical value of 100% (S)-2-butanol. The modulating effects of ethanesulfonate and propanesulfonate provided thermodynamic binding constants close to K(m) for the natural substrates R-HPC and 2-KPC. The effects of alkylsulfonates on modulating the enantioselectivity and kinetic properties of R-HPCDH were abolished in R152A and R196A mutants but not in mutants of other C-terminal arginine residues. Collectively, the results suggest that interactions between the sulfonate of CoM and specific arginine residues are key to the enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency of R-HPCDH. A model is proposed wherein sulfonate-arginine interactions within an alkylsulfonate binding pocket control the catalytic properties of R-HPCDH.
