项目摘要

Abstract: Cell signaling is one of the most fundamental processes that controls human health, and yet the mechanics of this intricate system is largely unappreciated. This is stunning because the primary agents for this system, membrane receptors, are known to account for approximately 1/3 of all approved human drugs. Often, the receptors themselves are known before the discovery of their endogenous ligands. In this proposal, we detail a systematic method for the identification of the targets of fatty acid amides, a highly regulated class of molecules known to engage in at least two signaling processes. The bulk of the other members of this class of compounds have never been paired with their receptors, and uncovering this information has tremendous potential for identifying new therapeutic targets and improving drug discovery efforts by revealing potentially undesirable off-target candidates.

抽象的：细胞信号传导是控制人类健康的最基本过程之一，但是这个错综复杂的系统在很大程度上没有欣赏。这是令人惊叹的，因为该系统的主要代理，众所周知，膜受体约占所有批准的人类药物的1/3。通常，在发现内源配体之前，受体本身就是已知的。在此提案中，我们详细介绍了一种系统的方法，用于鉴定脂肪酸酰胺的靶标，这是一种高度已知的分子类别的调节类别至少参与两个信号传导过程。另一个这类化合物的成员从未与他们的受体配对，并发现了这个化合物信息在识别新的治疗靶点并改善药物发现具有巨大的潜力通过揭示潜在的不良脱离目标候选人的努力。
