Bioinformatics Exploration of the Therapeutic Potential of Lotus Seed Compounds in Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Analysis of c-Jun Pathway.

The central nervous system is affected by multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune illness characterized by axonal destruction, demyelination, and inflammation. This article summarizes the state of the field, highlighting its complexity and significant influence on people's quality of life. The research employs a network pharmacological approach, integrating systems biology, bioinformatics, and pharmacology to identify biomarkers associated with MS.

Unveiling the profound influence of sucralose on metabolism and its role in shaping obesity trends.

Artificial sweeteners, prominently exemplified by sucralose, have become pervasive in contemporary diets, prompting intriguing questions about their impact on metabolism and their potential role in the unfolding trends of obesity. Covering topics from its discovery to analytical methods for detection and determination in food samples, the manuscript scrutinizes the metabolic effects of sucralose. Notably, the association between sucralose intake and obesity is examined, challenging the conventional belief of its role in weight management.

Systematic exploration of network pharmacology, modeling and pharmacokinetic profiling for vitamin E in polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study seeks to explore the possibility of using vitamin E to alleviate the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Various computational methods were employed, including network pharmacology utilizing a compound-target-pathway approach, Swiss ADME, OSIRIS property explorer, pkCSM, PASS online web resource and MOLINSPIRATION software. In addition, analysis of vitamin E was performed with ten receptors.

Navigating neurological disorders: harnessing the power of natural compounds for innovative therapeutic breakthroughs.

Novel treatments are needed as neurological issues become more frequent worldwide. According to the report, plants, oceans, microorganisms, and animals contain interesting drug discovery compounds. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and stroke reviews emphasize neurological disorders' complexity and natural substances' safety.

An Update to Novel Therapeutic Options for Combating Tuberculosis: Challenges and Future Prospectives.

Drug repurposing is an ongoing and clever strategy that is being developed to eradicate tuberculosis amid challenges, of which one of the major challenges is the resistance developed towards antibiotics used in standard directly observed treatment, short-course regimen. Surpassing the challenges in developing anti-tuberculous drugs, some novel host-directed therapies, repurposed drugs, and drugs with novel targets are being studied, and few are being approved too. After almost 4 decades since the approval of rifampicin as a potent drug for drugsusceptible tuberculosis, the first drug to be approved for drug-resistant tuberculosis is bedaquiline.

Pharmacological investigation of vitamin E with combined oral contraceptives on INHBA gene against PCOS that intricate through melatonin PKC pathway.

The most prevalent endocrine and metabolic condition in women of reproductive age are polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with significant risk factors such as circadian rhythm and melatonin disruption. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of vitamin E in combination with a combined oral contraceptive (COC) on continuous light-induced PCOS using hormonal measures, oxidative stress (OS) indicators, and the inhibin beta-A (INHBA) gene, which targets the melatonin protein kinase C (PKC) pathway. An technique anticipated INHBA's binding affinity for vitamin E and COC.

Insights into Vitamin E with Combined Oral Contraceptive on INSR Gene in PCOS by Integrating In Silico and In Vivo Approaches.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone disorder common among reproductive-aged women. This is associated with the symptoms like an irregular menstrual cycle, excess androgens, and polycystic ovary. Interestingly, vitamin E acts like the hormone progesterone and improves insulin sensitivity in PCOS.

Anthocyanin as a therapeutic in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review of preclinical evidences.

Background: The aim of this systematic review is to ponder the possible mechanism of action of anthocyanin in Alzheimer's disease (AD), to prompt the development of anthocyanin-based dietary supplementation or therapeutic intervention for AD and to explore the natural sources of anthocyanins.

Methods: Electronic bibliographic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Proquest, DOAJ, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for preclinical studies probing the efficacy of anthocyanin on AD. The search strategy included no time limit, but was restricted to English.

Oxalobacter formigenes reduce the risk of kidney stones in patients exposed to oral antibiotics: a case-control study.

This is the first prospective study to investigate the association between kidney stones, bone mineral density, serum testosterone, colon cancer and O. formigenes colonization. 40 kidney stone patients and 85 controls were enrolled.
