Oleuropein Relieves Pancreatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Suppressing Inflammation and Oxidative Stress through HMGB1/NF-κB Pathway.

Oleuropein (OLP) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound in olive plant with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential and can possibly be used in treating pancreatic injuries. This investigation aimed to follow the molecular mechanism behind the potential therapeutic effect of OLP against pancreatic injury persuaded by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Pancreatic I/R injury was induced by splenic artery occlusion for 60 min followed by reperfusion.

Biochemical and computational inhibition of α-glucosidase by novel metronidazole-linked 1-1,2,3-triazole and carboxylate moieties: kinetics and dynamic investigations.

In the current study, metronidazole derivatives containing 1-1,2,3-triazole and carboxylate moieties were evaluated and by computational methods for their anti-diabetic potential to insight into their medicinal use for the management of type II diabetes mellitus. Interestingly all 14 compounds displayed high to significant inhibitory capability against the key carbohydrate's digestive enzyme α-glucosidase with IC values in range of 9.73-56.

Mutational analysis of consanguineous families and their targeted therapy against dwarfism.

Dwarfism is a medical term used to describe individuals with a height-vertex measurement that falls below two standard deviations (-2SD) or the third percentile for their gender and age. Normal development of growth is a complicated dynamic procedure that depends upon the coordination of different aspects involving diet, genetics, and biological aspects like hormones in equilibrium. Any severe or acute pathologic procedure may disturb the individual's normal rate of growth.

Targeting inflammation and oxidative stress for protection against ischemic brain injury in rats using cupressuflavone.

Inflammatory responses and oxidative stress contribute to the pathogenesis of brain ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury. Naturally occurring bioflavonoids possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The phytochemicals of , known as "Abhal" in Saudi Arabia, have been studied and cupressuflavone (CUP) has been isolated as the major bioflavonoid.

Targeted therapies of curcumin focus on its therapeutic benefits in cancers and human health: Molecular signaling pathway-based approaches and future perspectives.

The curry powder spices turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), which contains curcumin (diferuloylmethane), an orange-yellow chemical. Polyphenols are the most commonly used sources of curcumin.
