AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers designed nitrogen heterocycles based on α-ethoxyphenylpropionic acid derivatives to target PPARα/γ receptors for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D).
  • Among the compounds tested, 6-Benzoyl-benzothiazol-2-one demonstrated the best results after modifications, leading to a specific stereoisomer with an excellent in vitro pharmacological profile.
  • This compound was identified as a potent full PPARγ agonist and a weak partial agonist for PPARα, showing effectiveness in reducing triglycerides, glucose, and insulin levels in ob/ob mice without causing significant weight gain, classifying it as a selective PPARγ modulator (SPPARγM).

Article Abstract

A series of nitrogen heterocycles containing α-ethoxyphenylpropionic acid derivatives were designed as dual PPARα/γ agonist ligands for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications. 6-Benzoyl-benzothiazol-2-one was the most tolerant of the tested heterocycles in which incorporation of O-methyl oxime ether and trifluoroethoxy group followed by enantiomeric resolution led to the ()-stereoisomer displaying the best in vitro pharmacological profile. Compound acted as a very potent full PPARγ agonist and a weak partial agonist on the PPARα receptor subtype. Compound showed high efficacy in an ob/ob mice model with significant decreases in serum triglyceride, glucose and insulin levels but mostly with limited body-weight gain and could be considered as a selective PPARγ modulator (SPPARγM).

GV-58 is known to increase the opening time of the mammalian P-type calcium channel in presynaptic motor nerve terminals. GV-58 is suggested as a therapeutic agent for dampening the symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. To further understand the mechanisms of GV-58 actions, the and crayfish neuromuscular junctions were used as models.

Background: Diabetes mellitus, a chronic multi-systemic disease affecting various organs, may negatively influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This study aimed to investigate this association in a cross-sectional sample of Iraqi Kurdish diabetic patients.

Methods: Two hundred eighty-five type 2 diabetic patients participated in the survey.

Purpose: The management of hormone receptor-positive (HR +) breast cancer (BC) relies on endocrine therapy (ET), with a primary focus on disrupting estrogen receptor (ER) signaling due to its critical role in BC tumorigenesis and progression. While effective for both early-stage and advanced breast cancers, ET frequently encounters resistance mechanisms, including both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent trajectories, ultimately leading to disease progression.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases to review the current evidence on the use of novel oral selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs) for the treatment of HR+ BC.

A serious challenge of the chronic administration of dexamethasone (DEX) is a delay in wound healing. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the potential of Tadalafil (TAD)-loaded proniosomal gel to accelerate the healing process of skin wounds in DEX-challenged rabbits. Skin wounds were induced in 48 rabbits of 4 groups (n = 12 per group) and skin wounds were treated by sterile saline (control), TAD-loaded proniosomal gel topically on skin wound, DEX-injected rabbits, and DEX+TAD-loaded proniosomal gel for 4 weeks.

Plant Foods Hum Nutr

January 2025

Hubei Key Laboratory of Biologic Resources Protection and Utilization, Hubei Minzu University, Enshi, 445000, P.R. China.

In this paper, an oral liquid containing Magnolia officinalis polysaccharide was formulated and its hypoglycemic effects were investigated. An orthogonal test was conducted based on single-factor experiments to optimize the formulation guided by sensory evaluations. Its stability and safety were also assessed.
