Sporopollenin exine capsules (SpECs) are microcapsules derived from the outer shells (exines) of plant spore and pollen grains. This work reports the first clinical study on healthy volunteers to show enhanced bioavailability of vitamin D encapsulate...

Synthesis and analysis of small molecules to restrain the function of tissue factor within tumour cells (2021)
Journal Article
Adeniran, O. I., Mohammad, M. A., Featherby, S., Maraveyas, A., Boa, A. N., & Ettelaie, C. (2021). Synthesis and analysis of small molecules to restrain the function of tissue factor within tumour cells. Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 26(10), 752-764. https://doi.org/10.52586/4985

Introduction: The restriction of prolyl-protein cis/trans isomerase 1 (Pin1) activity has been shown to prevent the release of tissue factor (TF) leading to the accumulation of the latter protein within the cell. This study tested the ability of nove... Read More about Synthesis and analysis of small molecules to restrain the function of tissue factor within tumour cells.

N-cinnamoylanthranilates as human TRPA1 modulators: Structure-activity relationships and channel binding sites (2019)
Journal Article
Chandrabalan, A., McPhillie, M. J., Morice, A. H., Boa, A. N., & Sadofsky, L. R. (2019). N-cinnamoylanthranilates as human TRPA1 modulators: Structure-activity relationships and channel binding sites.

The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel is a non-selective cation channel, which detects noxious stimuli leading to pain, itch and cough. However, the mechanism(s) of channel modulation by many of the known, non-reactive modulators...

TRPA1 is activated by direct addition of cysteine residues to the N-hydroxysuccinyl esters of acrylic and cinnamic acids (2010)
Journal Article
Sadofsky, L. R., Boa, A. N., Maher, S. A., Birrell, M. A., Belvisi, M. G., & Morice, A. H. (2011). TRPA1 is activated by direct addition of cysteine residues to the N-hydroxysuccinyl esters of acrylic and cinnamic acids. Pharmacological research : the official journal of the Italian Pharmacological Society, 63(1), 30-36. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phrs.2010.11.004

The nociceptor TRPA1 is thought to be activated through covalent modification of specific cysteine residues on the N terminal of the channel. The precise mechanism of covalent modification with unsaturated carbonyl-containing compounds is unclear, th...
