Background: In this study, two chalcone analogs were synthesized through in silico and experimental methods, and their potential to inhibit the lipoxygenase enzyme, which plays a role in the inflammation pathway, was assessed. Specifically, this study is a continuation of previous research in which chalcone derivatives were synthesized and characterized.
Objectives/methods: In the current work, we present the re-synthesis of two chalcones, with a focus on their docking studies, NMR analysis, and dynamic simulations.

Background: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAIDs-ERD) is characterized by altered arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. Aspirin hypersensitivity is diagnosed using aspirin challenge, while induced sputum is collected to perform cell counts and to identify local biomarkers in induced sputum supernatant (ISS). This study aimed to assess the levels of a newly identified eicosanoid, 15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE), in ISS at baseline and during aspirin-induced bronchospasm in patients with NSAIDs-ERD.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events, yet the mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Our previous study found that Atherosclerotic endothelial injury is closely associated with ferroptosis in ApoE mice. Ferroptosis is a novel mode of cell death induced by decreased antioxidant capacity of the organism and accumulation of reactive oxygen species.

Rapid endothelialization and functional recovery are considered as promising methods to extend the long-term effectiveness of cardiovascular implant materials. LOX-1 participates in the initiation and development of atherosclerosis and is highly expressed in a variety of cells involved in atherosclerosis, hence it is feasible to accelerate the recovery of endothelial function and inhibit the development of existing plaques by regulating LOX-1. Herein, the surface is modified with Poly I, a LOX-1 inhibitor, using rich amino dendritic macromolecules (PAMAM) as the linker coating, to against the pathological microenvironment.
