1. Cyclic AMP was found to stimulate penicillin acylase activity. 2. It also overcame the repression of glucose and restored enzyme synthesis to the non-repressed levels. 3. The conversion of inactive enzyme precursor into active enzyme was not stimulated by cyclic AMP in cells in which protein synthesis was inhibited by chloramphenicol. 4. Cyclic AMP failed to stimulate enzyme production in cells in which messenger RNA synthesis was arrested by rifampicin or inducer removal. 5. Cyclic AMP appears to participate in the regulation of this enzyme at the transcriptional level.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) exists in two distinct forms: a non-enveloped form (neHEV), which is present in feces and bile, and a quasi-enveloped form (eHEV), found in circulating blood and culture supernatants. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of Ras-associated binding 13 (Rab13) and protein kinase A (PKA) in the entry mechanisms of both eHEV and neHEV, utilizing small interfering RNA (siRNA) and chemical inhibitors. The results demonstrated that the entry of both viral forms is dependent on Rab13 and PKA.

This review highlights the therapeutic potential of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and forskolin in managing retinal diseases, with a focus on glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. EGCG, a potent polyphenol from green tea, exhibits significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects, making it a promising candidate for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in ocular tissues. Forskolin, a diterpene from Coleus forskohlii, increases cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, which helps lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and provides neuroprotection.

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with sedative and anxiolytic properties. Increasing evidence reports that DEX has a neuroprotective effect. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of DEX on learning and memory functions in rats with experimental cognitive impairment.
