Phenylalanine-derived β-lactam TRPM8 antagonists: revisiting configuration and new benzoyl derivatives by Cristina Martín-Escura, Maria Angeles Bonache, Alicia Medina-Peris, Thomas Voets, Antonio Ferrer-Montiel, Asia Fernández-Carvajal, Rosario González-Muñiz

“…Results: For OtBu derivatives, a 3S,4S-configuration was preferred, while compounds with 2'R chiral centers show higher selectivity for TRPM8 versus transient receptor potential vanilloid, subtype 1 (TRPV1) than their 2'S-counterparts. N-terminal benzoyl derivatives, which increased TPSA values, resulted in equipotent compounds as previous prototypes, but also showed activity in other pain-related targets [TRPV1 and cannabinoid receptor, subtype 2 (CB2R)]. …”

Wheat Leaf Rust Effector Pt48115 Localized in the Chloroplasts and Suppressed Wheat Immunity by Lulu Song, Liping Cui, Hao Li, Na Zhang, Wenxiang Yang

“…Pt48115 inhibited cell death induced by Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) from mice or infestans 1 (INF1) from <i>Phytophthora infestans</i> in <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> and by DC3000 in wheat, and its 145–175 amino acids of the C-terminal are critical for its function. Furthermore, Pt48115 inhibited callose deposition and reactive oxygen species accumulation in the wheat cultivar Thatcher, demonstrating that it is an effector that enhances <i>Pt</i> virulence by suppressing wheat defense responses. …”
