The Role of Dihydrofolate Reductase in Oral Disease

Dihydrofolate reductase is an enzyme that is crucial for the synthesis of purines and thymidylate, essential building blocks for DNA replication and cell proliferation. In oral diseases such as periodontitis, oral cancer, and dental caries, dysregulation of dihydrofolate reductase activity has been implicated in disease progression. Elevated levels of dihydrofolate reductase have been observed in oral cancer cells, leading to increased DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. In periodontitis, the overexpression of dihydrofolate reductase has been linked to inflammatory responses and tissue damage in the oral cavity.

Targeting dihydrofolate reductase with small-molecule inhibitors presents a promising approach for developing new treatments for oral diseases. By inhibiting the activity of this enzyme, we can disrupt the synthesis of purines and thymidylate, leading to decreased cell proliferation and reduced inflammation in the oral cavity. This approach holds great potential for developing oral disease drugs that effectively treat a range of oral diseases.

Development of New Small-molecule Inhibitors of Dihydrofolate Reductase

Our team specializes in the design and synthesis of novel small-molecule inhibitors that target dihydrofolate reductase with high specificity and efficacy. We leverage state-of-the-art computational modeling and drug screening technologies to identify lead compounds that can effectively inhibit the activity of the dihydrofolate reductase in oral disease cells. Through rigorous testing and optimization, we can develop new therapeutic agents that can selectively target dihydrofolate reductase and inhibit disease progression in the oral cavity.

Preclinical Services

Once we have identified promising lead compounds, our team conducts comprehensive preclinical testing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these potential drug candidates. We use in vitro and in vivo models of oral diseases to assess the biological activity and pharmacokinetic properties of our small-molecule inhibitors. Through rigorous validation studies, we ensure that our drug candidates demonstrate therapeutic efficacy and minimal toxicity, paving the way for successful clinical development.
