A novel class of timolol derivatives with nitric oxide (NO)-donating moieties achieved chemical stability yet under physiologically relevant conditions released timolol and NO. Hindered esters A were designed and synthesized, whose 'triggered' release relied on enzymatic hydrolysis of the nitrate ester in A to B, that in turn cyclized to liberate timolol.

Dipyridamole Attenuates Experimental Periodontitis by Regulating M1 Macrophage Polarization via PKA/PKG Pathways.
J Periodontal Res
January 2025
Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China.
Aim: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease initiated by dysbiosis of the local microbial community. As a non-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, dipyridamole features anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dipyridamole in an experimental rat model of periodontitis.

This study aimed to evaluate alternative in vivo treatment trials using natural products for ectoparasitic infestation on Nile tilapia; these two products were not previously used in the treatment of parasitic fish diseases. So, a total of 400 Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus) fish measured 10-15 cm in length; 350 from a fish farm in (Kafr Elsheikh and 50 from Nile River (Al Bahr Al Aazam), Egypt.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the cumulative effects and expression patterns of electroacupuncture (EA) on irisin secretion, observe the effects of EA on the recovery of neurobehavioral function and vascular remodeling after cerebral ischemia, and elucidate the mechanism by which EA promotes vascular remodeling by regulating irisin expression.
Methods: A rat model of left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was prepared, and EA was performed. Tissue distribution and expression of irisin were determined by immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blotting.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a global disease of the digestive system and is an important precancerous lesion in the development of gastric cancer. Yang Wei Shu granule (YWSG), which evolved from the formula 'Warm Stomach Soup' of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties in China, is frequently used as a classic herbal compound in the treatment of CAG. However, the active ingredients and mechanisms by which it works are not clear.
