Objective: It is widely thought that cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) inhibition with consequential decreases in mucosal prostaglandins, along with concomitant inhibition of COX-2, is pivotal in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced (NSAID) enteropathy. We examined the role of COX-1, COX-2 and topical effects of drugs in NSAID enteropathy.
Material And Methods: We quantified small intestinal damage and prostaglandin E(2) levels in wild-type, COX-1 and COX-2 deficient mice after administration of R-2-phenylpropionic acid (which has the same topical characteristics as conventional NSAIDs but does not affect the COX enzymes), the conventional NSAIDs flurbiprofen and the selective COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib. We also measured intestinal permeability and inflammation in rats given the selective COX-1 inhibitor SC-560 and NSAIDs. The parameters were assessed at baseline and after administration of the drugs.
Results: R-2-phenylpropionic acid caused small intestinal damage in COX-2(-/-) and wild-type mice given celecoxib, but not in wild type or COX-1(-/-) mice. PGE(2) levels in mice dosed with R-2-phenylpropionic acid were elevated. Indomethacin raised permeability and caused inflammation in rats.
Conclusions: The combination of COX-2 absence (or inhibition) and the topical effect of NSAIDs lead to changes characteristic of NSAID enteropathy without concomitant COX-1 inhibition and/or associated decreases in mucosal prostaglandins. COX-2 appears to be more important for maintaining small bowel integrity than COX-1.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between gut microbiota, fecal metabolites, and IQ levels in preschoolers, noting inconsistent findings in previous research.
- 150 children aged 3-6 were analyzed using 16 S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics, linking specific gut bacteria and metabolites to cognitive abilities as measured by the WPPSI-IV.
- Significant differences in microbial diversity and specific metabolites were found between children with low and average IQ, suggesting that gut health might influence cognitive development.
Comparative Analysis of the Conversion of Mandelonitrile and 2-Phenylpropionitrile by a Large Set of Variants Generated from a Nitrilase Originating from EBC191.

The arylacetonitrilase from the bacterium EBC191 has been intensively studied as a model to understand the molecular basis for the substrate-, reaction-, and enantioselectivity of nitrilases. The nitrilase converts various aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to the corresponding acids and varying amounts of the corresponding amides. The enzyme has been analysed by site-specific mutagenesis and more than 50 different variants have been generated and analysed for the conversion of (,)-mandelonitrile and (,)-2-phenylpropionitrile.

The reaction of Ln(NO)·6HO (Ln = Tb and Eu) with (S)-(+)-2-phenylpropionic acid (S-HL) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in EtOH/HO allows the isolation of the dinuclear chiral compounds of the formula [Ln(S-L)(phen)]·2.5·S-HL in which Ln = Tb (S-1), Ln = Eu (S-2). The same synthesis by using (R)-(-)-2-phenylpropionic acid (R-HL) instead of (S)-(+)-2-phenylpropionic acid allows the isolation of the enantiomeric compounds with the formula [Ln(R-L)(phen)]·2.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between 2-Arylpropionic acid (profen) drugs and liver damage, focusing on how different metabolites like acyl-CoA thioesters and acyl-glucuronides contribute to hepatotoxicity.
- - Results showed that while some profen drugs like R-ibuprofen and S-Naproxen did not cause significant liver damage, flurbiprofen induced cytotoxicity, which could be mitigated by specific enzyme inhibitors and treatments.
- - The findings challenge the idea that acyl-CoA thioesters are directly linked to liver injury and suggest that flurbiprofen's metabolism may lead to mitochondrial damage, contributing to cytotoxic effects.
