Human serum albumin (HSA) is an endogenous inhibitor of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) and, thus, plays a key role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). However, little is known about the mechanism of interaction between these proteins, and the structure of the HSA-ACE complex has not yet been obtained experimentally. The purpose of the presented work is to apply computer modeling methods to study the interaction of HSA with ACE in order to obtain preliminary details about the mechanism of their interaction.

Some tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), including amitriptyline (ATL), clomipramine (CLO), and desipramine (DES), are known to be effective for management of neuropathic pain. It was previously determined that ATL, CLO, and DES are capable of voltage-dependent blocking of NMDA receptors of glutamate (NMDAR), which play a key role in pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Despite the similar structure of ATL, CLO, and DES, efficacy of their interaction with NMDAR varies significantly.

Article Synopsis
  • Both peripheral neuropathy and depression associated with diabetes can result from sodium-calcium imbalance, prompting a study on the drug KB-R7943 as a potential treatment in a rat model.
  • The pharmacokinetic study showed differences in drug exposure and distribution between diabetic rats and controls, with notable accumulation in the brain and heart, but lower penetration in diabetic rats.
  • Chronic treatment with KB-R7943 demonstrated dose-dependent improvement in neuropathic and depression-like symptoms, indicating its potential for treating neurodegenerative effects of diabetes, although further safety studies are needed.
