In vivo and in silico study of europinidin against streptozotocin-isoproterenol-induced myocardial damage via alteration of hs-CRP/CPK-MB/Caspase-3/Bcl-2 pathways.

Europinidin is a novel anthocyanidin found in the petals of Plumbago europea that exhibits several physiological effects. Research was conducted to assess europinidin's cardioprotective efficacy in a diabetic and myocardial infarction (MI) experimental model. Rat was injected through the intraperitoneal administration of 45 mg/kg of streptozotocin (STZ), while MI was induced by subcutaneously administering 85 mg/kg of isoproterenol (ISP) at 24 and 48 h prior to the sacrifice procedure.

Chemical analogue based drug design for cancer treatment targeting PI3K: integrating machine learning and molecular modeling.

Cancer is a generic term for a group of disorders defined by uncontrolled cell growth and the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Gene and epigenetic alterations disrupt normal cellular control, leading to abnormal cell proliferation, resistance to cell death, blood vessel development, and metastasis (spread to other organs). One of the several routes that play an important role in the development and progression of cancer is the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway.

Objective: The research aimed to investigate the neuroprotective properties of europinidin (Eu) in rodents affected by methamphetamine (MA)-induced cognitive impairments and hippocampal alterations. This was achieved by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and pro-inflammatory markers.

A Simple, Sensitive, and Greener HPLC-DAD Method for the Simultaneous Analysis of Two Novel Orexin Receptor Antagonists.

The orexin receptor antagonist (ORA) is one of the new psychopharmacological agents used in the treatment of insomnia. There are currently no documented greener high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) methods for the analysis of ORA antagonists, lemborexant (LMB) and suvorexant (SUV) simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, a simple, sensitive, and greener HPLC-DAD method has been developed for the simultaneous quantitative analysis of LMB and SUV in bulk and laboratory-prepared mixture.

FIP200 Phosphorylation Regulates Late Steps in Mitophagy.

Mitophagy is a specific type of autophagy responsible for the selective elimination of dysfunctional or superfluous mitochondria, ensuring the maintenance of mitochondrial quality control. The initiation of mitophagy is coordinated by the ULK1 kinase complex, which engages mitophagy receptors via its FIP200 subunit. Whether FIP200 performs additional functions in the subsequent later phases of mitophagy beyond this initial step and how its regulation occurs, remains unclear.

Formulation and characterization of polymeric nanoparticle of Rivastigmine for effective management of Alzheimer's disease.

Memory loss or dementia is a progressive disorder, and one of its common forms is Alzheimer's disease (AD), effecting mostly middle aged and older adults.

Addressing Biases in Ambient PM Exposure and Associated Health Burden Estimates by Filling Satellite AOD Retrieval Gaps over India.

Ambient PM exposure statistics in countries with limited ground monitors are derived from satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) products that have spatial gaps. Here, we quantified the biases in PM exposure and associated health burden in India due to the sampling gaps in AOD retrieved by a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. We filled the sampling gaps and derived PM in recent years (2017-2022) over India, which showed fivefold cross-validation of 0.

Effect of Apremilast on LPS-induced immunomodulation and inflammation via activation of Nrf2/HO-1 pathways in rat lungs.
