The data have been obtained from FABP4 inhibitor molecules previously published. The 120 compounds were used to build a 3D-QSAR model. The development of the QSAR model has been undertaken with the use of Forge software using the PM3 optimized structure and the experimental IC of each compound. The QSAR model was also employed to predict the activity of 3000 new isosteric derivatives of BMS309403. The isosteric replacement was also validated by the synthesis and the biological screening of three new compounds reported in the related research article "3D-QSAR assisted identification of FABP4 inhibitors: An effective scaffold hopping analysis/QSAR evaluation" (Floresta et al., 2019).

Host metabolic fitness is a critical determinant of infectious disease outcomes. Obesity, aging, and other related metabolic disorders are recognized as high-risk disease modifiers for respiratory infections, including coronavirus infections, though the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Our study highlights fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4), a key regulator of metabolic dysfunction and inflammation, as a modulator of SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis, correlating strongly with disease severity in COVID-19 patients.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely linked to obesity, a condition that significantly impacts tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Although cetuximab, an EGFR-targeting monoclonal antibody, is a cornerstone in metastatic CRC treatment, resistance often emerges, leading to poor outcomes. This study investigated the role of drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells and their metabolic interactions within the tumor microenvironment (TME) in cetuximab resistance.

Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs), as well as dioxin-like PCBs, are endocrine disruptors that persist in human and animal tissues worldwide. Due to their lipophilicity and resistance to enzymatic degradation, PCBs accumulate in fat deposits contributing to the onset of endocrine and metabolic diseases. Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channel proteins that allow the transport of water and small solutes.

The fat content of yak meat is significantly correlated with the meat quality, and an appropriate fat content helps to improve the texture of the meat. The involvement of miR-10a in regulating the differentiation and proliferation of various cell types has been reported. Therefore, in this study, the effects of miR-10a on lipid droplet accumulation were investigated by transfection of yak adipocyte precursors with an miR-10a inhibitor, followed by Oil Red O, BODIPY, EdU staining, and cell cycle analysis of the transfected and control cells.

Alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) is a liver disease characterized by steatosis, inflammation, and necrosis of the liver tissue as a result of excessive alcohol consumption. Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a xenobiotic nuclear receptor best known for its function in the transcriptional regulation of drug metabolism and disposition. Clinical reports suggested that the antibiotic rifampicin, a potent human PXR activator, is a contraindication in alcoholics, but the mechanism was unclear.
