The herbicide glyphosate is an inhibitor of 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, [120] other herbicides, such as the sulfonylureas inhibit the enzyme acetolactate synthase. [121] Both enzymes are needed for plants to make branched-chain amino acids .
Most competitive inhibitors function by binding reversibly to the active site of the enzyme. [1] As a result, many sources state that this is the defining feature of competitive inhibitors. [ 7 ] This, however, is a misleading oversimplification , as there are many possible mechanisms by which an enzyme may bind either the inhibitor or the ...
Index inducer or just inducer predictably induce metabolism via a given pathway and are commonly used in prospective clinical drug-drug interaction studies. [2]Strong, moderate, and weak inducers are drugs that decreases the AUC of sensitive index substrates of a given metabolic pathway by ≥80%, ≥50% to <80%, and ≥20% to <50%, respectively.
Some research is devoted to finding combinations of extant antibiotics which when combined exhibit synergy. A classic example of this effect is the interaction between β-lactams, which damage the bacteria cell membrane, and aminoglycosides, which inhibit protein synthesis. [1]

"7+3" in the context of chemotherapy is an acronym for a chemotherapy regimen that is most often used today (as of 2014) as first-line induction therapy (to induce remission) in acute myelogenous leukemia, [1] [2] excluding the acute promyelocytic leukemia form, which is better treated with ATRA and/or arsenic trioxide and requires less chemotherapy (if requires it at all, which is not always ...
These phosphinate MMP inhibitors contain phenyl segments that are thought to be responsible for the selectivity to MMP-13. The phosphinic group of those inhibitors (R 1 R 2 (O)OH) binds as a zinc ligand. R 1 and R 2 substituents affect the inhibition potency. [7] Phosphinate inhibitors have been developed that showed high selectivity for MMP-11.
Modification of endogenous chemotactic ability of these microorganisms by pharmaceutical agents can decrease or inhibit the ratio of infections or spreading of infectious diseases. Apart from infections, there are some other diseases wherein impaired chemotaxis is the primary etiological factor, as in Chédiak–Higashi syndrome , where giant ...
