Targeting aquaporin function: potent inhibition of aquaglyceroporin-3 by a gold-based compound.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are membrane channels that conduct water and small solutes such as glycerol and are involved in many physiological functions. Aquaporin-based modulator drugs are predicted to be of broad potential utility in the treatment of several diseases. Until today few AQP inhibitors have bee...
