BackgroundAbnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a major gynecological complaint that significantly impacts women's quality of life, particularly during their reproductive years. Non-structural AUB presents a therapeutic challenge due to the ab…
Abnormal uterine bleeding due to ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) is a frequent gynecological problem affecting women of reproductive and perimenopausal age. While norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen, has been widely used for medical manag…
The natural product withaferin A (WFA) exhibits antitumor and antiangiogenesis activity in vivo, which results from this drug's potent growth inhibitory activities. Here, we show that WFA binds to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vim…
The natural product withaferin A (WFA) is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor and it targets the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in vascular endothelial cells. We generated a biotinylated affinity analog WFA-LC(2)B for use as a probe to study angi…
Small molecules designed to specifically activate or inactivate protein functions have been useful to study biological processes. PROTACS are small molecule chimera which comprise a ligand and a peptide recognition motif for an E3 ligase. T…
