Olanzapine-induced fatty liver disease continues to pose vital therapeutic challenges in the treatment of psychiatric disorders. In addition, we observed that some patients were less prone to hepatic steatosis induced by olanzapine. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role and the underlying mechanism of the intestinal flora in olanzapine-mediated hepatic side effects and explore the possible countermeasures.

Notably, they actively participate in the MAPK pathway, which governs crucial aspects of plant physiology, including growth regulation, disease resistance, pest resistance, and stress response. DUSP is a key enzyme, and it is the enzyme that limits the rate of cell metabolism.

This trial was conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of an immediate-release capsule formulation containing lansoprazole 30 mg and sodium bicarbonate 1100 mg (T preparation) in healthy Chinese subjects. This was an open, single-center, randomized, single and multiple oral doses, and two-period crossover study in 30 healthy subjects.

To deeply understand the genetic basis of cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt, Verticillium wilt-resistant Upland Lumianyan 28 and four Verticillium wilt-susceptible Acala cotton cultivars were used to create four recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations of 469 families through nested hybridization. Phenotypic data collected in five stressful environments were used to select resistant and sensitive lines and create a mixed pool of extreme phenotypes for BSA-seq.

Protein palmitoylation is an ability of the frame of the cell marker protein is one of the most notable reversible changes after translation. However, studies on protein palmitoylation in cotton have not yet been performed. In our current research, the PAT gene family was systematically identified and bioinformatically analyzed in , , and , and 211 PAT genes were authenticated and classified into six subfamilies.

Our study aimed to demonstrate the mechanism underlying the olanzapine-induced insulin resistance and find appropriate drug interventions. In this study, firstly, we constructed rat insulin resistance model using a two-month gavage of olanzapine and used the main active ingredient mixture of Gegen Qinlian Decoction for the treatment.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFOlanzapine is commonly used to treat schizophrenia. However, long-term administration of olanzapine causes metabolic side effects, such as insulin resistance (IR), which seriously affects patients' quality of life. Both diagnostic and prognostic markers are urgently needed to increase patient compliance.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: This systematic review aimed to determine whether olanzapine is more likely than other second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) to induce insulin resistance in patients with schizophrenia in China.
Methods: We reviewed all randomized controlled trials on insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities caused by SGAs in the PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, and Wanfang databases. Retrieved articles were published on or before December 2018.
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) plays an important role in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Inhibition of VEGFR-2 has been demonstrated as a key method against tumor-associated angiogenesis. Thiazolopyrimidine is an important analog of the purine ring, and we choose the thiazolopyrimidine scaffold as the mother nucleus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Olanzapine, a commonly used second-generation antipsychotic, causes severe metabolic adverse effects, such as elevated blood glucose and insulin resistance (IR). Previous studies have proposed that overexpression of CD36, GGPPS, PTP-1B, GRK2, and adipose triglyceride lipase may contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome, and Pueraria could eliminate the metabolic adverse effects. The study aimed to investigate the association between olanzapine-associated IR and IR-related proteins (IRRPs) and determine the role of Pueraria in protection against the metabolic adverse effects of olanzapine.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOlanzapine is a second-generation anti-psychotic drug used to prevent neuroinflammation in patients with schizophrenia. However, the long-term administration of olanzapine leads to insulin resistance (IR); the mechanisms of this effect remains poorly understood. Using cellular and rodent models of IR induced by olanzapine, we found that chronic olanzapine treatment induces differential inflammatory cytokine reactions in peripheral adipose and the central nervous system.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is an important factor in angiogenesis. In this work, a novel series of thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives inhibiting angiogenesis were rationally designed and synthesized.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: VEGFR-2 inhibitors have been widely used in the treatment of cancer. In our continued efforts to search for potent and novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors as antitumor agents, we have identified a series of ureas and amides bearing a oxazolopyrimidine scaffold.
Aim Of The Study: To discover more potent VEGFR-2 inhibitors with stronger binding affinity and better physical and chemical properties.
A series of oxazolopyrimidine-based ureas and amides were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated for their antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. These compounds were identified to exhibit inhibitory activities against human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro. Among these compounds, compound 22 effectively inhibited the migration and capillary-like tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Inhibition of these kinases presents an attractive approach for developing anticancer therapeutics. In this work, a series of 2,5,7-trisubstituted oxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines were synthesized, and their inhibitory activities were investigated against VEGFR-2 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro.
