Biolog is one of the sponsors of the "Nanodomains in cyclic nucleotide signalling: from mechanisms to therapeutic approaches" meeting which will be held at the Imperial College London, UK, September 16-18, 2019.

This meeting gathers renowned experts who will highlight recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cAMP signalling in nano-scale compartments and how such local signalling regulates key cellular and physiological processes in the cardiovascular system. A further focus will be the relevance of cAMP signalling compartments as pharmacological targets for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Cutting-edge methodology such as the use of various high-resolution imaging techniques and advanced biosensors, animal models, and the current state of drug development, will be discussed.

"Future Products" list structures which are nearly ready for commercialisation. The list will be permanently updated and contains already > 80 items at the moment.

pppG(2',5')pA  is  considered  to  be  the  linear  catalytic  intermediate  in  the  enzymatic  production  of  2',3' - cGAMP  (aka c[G(2',5')pA(3',5')p], BIOLOG Cat. No. C 161) by the mammalian innate immune DNA sensor cGAMP synthase (cGAS). According to  Hall e t al. (2017)  human  stimulator of interferon genes STING _{155 - 341} does not bind pppG(2',5')pA at concentrations of up to 50 μM.

In pppApG a 5'-ATP unit is connected with a 5'-GMP unit via a 3' → 5' linkage to form a linear dinucleotide. pppApG is a potential endogenous metabolite of the metazoan second messenger 2',3'-cGAMP (c[G(2',5')pA(3',5')p], Cat. No. C 161) and/or of the bacterial signalling nucleotide 3'3'-cGAMP (c-(ApGp), Cat. No. C 117). Kranzusch et al. (2014) reported pppApG to be the linear dinucleotide intermediate in the enzymatic production of 3',3'-cGAMP by the Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity factor DncV. References: Kranzusch, P.J. et al., Cell, 158, 1011 - 1021 (2014); Deng, T. et al., J. Virol., 80, 2337 - 2348 (2006).

With Rp-2'-F-dATP-α-S (Cat. No. D 220) and Sp-2'-F-dATP-a-S (Cat. No. D 219) the sulfur-modified analogues of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-ATP (Cat. No. D 074), which are considered to be metabolically more stable, have been added to our product list. In addition, c[3'-[sCya7]-AHC-G(2',5')pA(3',5')p], (Cat. No. C 240), a new NIR fluorescent 2',3'-cGAMP analogue has joined the cyclic dinucleotide tools set.

8-Br-2',3'-cAMP (Cat. No. B 280) is now available from Biolog. This compound is considered to be a membane-permeable analogue of 2',3'-cAMP (Cat. No. A 307) and was recently used by Kosmacz et al. (2018) to study the role of 2',3'-cAMP in the formation of stress granules in Arabidopsis thaliana (Reference: Kosmacz et al., Plant Physiol., 177, 411 - 421 (2018): "Interaction of 2',3'-cAMP with Rbp47b Plays a Role in Stress Granule Formation").

Biolog now offers the endogenous Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel superagonist and potential novel second messenger 2'-deoxy-ADPR (Reference: Fliegert et al., Nat. Chem. Biol., 13, 1036 - 1044 (2017): "2'-Deoxyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose is an Endogenous TRPM2 Superagonist").

We have added three new products to our product line of NAD and ADPR analogues:

We are happy to introduce the new www.biolog.de to you. Our website has been completely revised to offer a fresh look, an extended search function for our products, and an improved online shop system.

If you are a registered user of www.biolog.de, please note that for the purpose of data protection, your address details and login information have not been transferred to the new website. We would therefore like to ask you to create a new online account.

Biolog sponsors the upcoming 22^nd International Round Table on Nucleosides, Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids (XXII IRT) (Paris/France, July 18 - 22, 2016, www.paris-irt2016.org).

Biolog sponsors the upcoming German Pharm-Tox Summit 2016 (DGPT) (Berlin/Germany, February 29 - March 3, 2016) and the Annual Conference of the Association for General and Applied Microbiology (VAAM) (Jena/Germany, March 13 - 16, 2016).

The cyclic dinucleotide 2'2'-cGAMP (c[A(2',5')pG(2',5')p], Cat. No. C 210) is now available from Biolog.

Similar to the metazoan second messenger 2'3'-cGAMP (Cat. No. C 161), 2'2'-cGAMP binds the signalling protein STING and subsequently induces type I interferons.

Latest additions to our product line of c-diAMP and c-diGMP-related cyclic dinucleotides:

• c[G(2',5')pG(3',5')p] / 2',5'-3',5'-c-diGMP - Cat. No. C 182
• c[A(2',5')pA(3',5')p] / 2',5'-3',5'-c-diAMP - Cat. No. C 187
• c[A(2',5')pA(2',5')p] / 2',5'-2',5'-c-diAMP - Cat. No. C 188
• 8,8'-Di-Chloro-c-diAMP - Cat. No. D 161

c-diAMP (Cat. No. C 088) and c-diGMP (Cat. No. C 057) are natural second messenger molecules playing fundamental roles in bacterial signalling.

We have updated the citation lists for our products 2'3'-cGAMP (Cat. No. C 161) and biotinylated 2'3'-cGAMP (Cat. No. C 176) with a study recently published in Science:

Bridgeman, A.; Maelfait, J.; Davenne, T.; Partridge, T.; Peng, Y.; Mayer, A.; Dong, T.; Kaever, V.; Borrow, P.; Rehwinkel, J., Science, 349, 1228 - 1232 (2015): "Viruses Transfer the Antiviral Second Messenger cGAMP Between Cells" - Link to PubMed

Biolog now offers a set containing 0.1 µmol each of c[G(2',5')pS-A(3',5')pS], isomer 1 and c[G(2',5')pS-A(3',5')pS], isomer 2 which are isomeric di-thiophosphate analogues of the metazoan cyclic dinucleotide second messenger c[G(2',5')pA(3',5')p] (aka 2'3'-cGAMP, Cat. No. C 161). Please visit the product detail page for further information on the set.

We are pleased to announce a significant price reduction for our products pApA (Cat. No. P 033) and pGpG (Cat. No. P 023). These products are now sold in 1 µmol vials instead of 0.1 µmol vials at unchanged prices. Please visit the product detail pages for pApA and pGpG for further information.

The linear dinucleotides pApA and pGpG were found to be metabolic degradation products of the bacterial second messengers c-diAMP (Cat. No. C 088) and c-diGMP (Cat. No. C 057), respectively.

Together with academic collaborators, Biolog has developed new EPAC agonists that discriminate between the  isoforms EPAC1 and EPAC2. Two of the cyclic AMP-based structures described are now exclusively available from Biolog:

• Sp-8-BnT-cAMPS / "S-220" - Cat. No. B 046
• Sp-8-BnT-2'-O-Me-cAMPS / "S-223" - Cat. No. B 056.
