For chemists and other scientists who, like Stephan Schürer, Ph.D., are immersed in the early phases of new drug discovery, PubChem is a treasure trove. The largest public database of small molecule screening data accessible to anyone in the world contains thousands of experiments on hundreds of thousands of compounds with millions of values.

T-helper cells that produce interleukin-17 (TH17 cells) are a recently identified CD4+ T-cell subset with characterized pathological roles in autoimmune diseases1,2,3. The nuclear receptors retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptors α and γt (RORα and RORγt, respectively) have indispensable roles in the development of this cell type4,5,6,7. Here we present SR1001, a high-affinity synthetic ligand—the first in a new class of compound—that is specific to both RORα and RORγt and which inhibits TH17 cell differentiation and function.

Dr. Villy Kourafalou is a Research Associate Professor at UM’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, where she leads the Coastal and Shelf Seas Group in the Division of Meteorology and Physical Oceanography. She is also the co-Director of the Ocean Modeling and Observing System Simulation Experiments joint center with the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Her research focuses on numerical modeling of circulation and transport on continental shelves and marginal seas, including coastal processes influenced by land runoff, weather events and deep sea oceanic currents.
