Praeruptorin C (PC), D (PD) and E (PE) are important compounds extracted from Peucedanum praeruptorum DUNN and have been reported to exert multiple pharmacological activities. The present study is purposed to determine the inhibition of PC, PD and PE on the activity of important phase I metabolic enzymes – carboxylesterases (CES). In vitro human liver microsomes (HLM) incubation system was used to determine the inhibition potential of PC, PD and PE on the activity of CES1 and CES2. Inhibition behaviour was determined, and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation was performed by using the combination of in vitro inhibition kinetic parameter (K(I)) and in vivo exposure level of PD. PD exhibited the strongest inhibition on the activity of CES1, with 81.7% activity inhibited by 100 μmol·L(-1) of PD. PD noncompetitively inhibited the activity of CES1 with the K(I) to be 122.2 μmol·L(-1), indicating inhibition potential of PD towards CES1 in vivo. Therefore, closely monitoring the endogenous metabolic disorders caused by PD and interaction between PD and drugs mainly undergoing CES1-catalyzed metabolism is very necessary.

Despite the end of COVID-19 pandemic, only intravenous remdesivir was approved for treatment of vulnerable pediatric populations. Molnupiravir is effective against viruses beyond SARS-CoV-2 and is orally administrable without CYP-interaction liabilities but has a burden of potential bone or cartilage toxicity, observed at doses exceeding 500 mg/kg/day in rats. Especially, activity of molnupiravir against viruses, such as Ebola, with high fatality rates and no treatment option warrants the exploration of potentially effective but safe doses for pediatric populations, i.

Objectives: To determine whether selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes encoding proteins responsible for the activation, transport, or metabolism of dabigatran and apixaban might be associated with a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in a cohort of adult patients treated with these drugs. No previous study has focused specifically on the association with gastrointestinal bleeding.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-one patients treated with dabigatran or apixaban were genotyped for selected polymorphisms.

Introduction: Liver fibrosis is the common fate of NASH and poses a major health threat with very limited pharmacological treatments.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the preventive effect of hinokitone (HO), an isolated compound from Agathis dammara, on NASH fibrosis and its underlying mechanism.
Methods: To investigate the effect of HO on NASH fibrosis, C57BL/6 mice were either fed a high-fat diet (HFD) in conjunction with intraperitoneal injection of CCl for 8 weeks or single CCl for 14 days to establish mouse liver fibrosis model, and HO was administered by gavage simultaneously.
Impaired chaperone-mediated autophagy leads to abnormal SORT1 (sortilin 1) turnover and CES1-dependent triglyceride hydrolysis.
Autophagy

SORT1 (sortilin 1), a member of the the Vps10 (vacuolar protein sorting 10) family, is involved in hepatic lipid metabolism by regulating very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) secretion and facilitating the lysosomal degradation of CES1 (carboxylesterase 1), crucial for triglyceride (TG) breakdown in the liver. This study explores whether SORT1 is targeted for degradation by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a selective protein degradation pathway that directs proteins containing KFERQ-like motifs to lysosomes via LAMP2A (lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2A). Silencing LAMP2A or HSPA8/Hsc70 with siRNA increased cytosolic SORT1 protein levels.
