Apatinib, a commonly used tyrosine kinase inhibitor in cancer treatment, can cause adverse reactions such as hypertension. Hypertension, in turn, can increase the risk of certain cancers. The coexistence of these diseases makes the use of combination drugs more common in clinical practice, but the potential interactions and regulatory mechanisms in these drug combinations are poorly understood.

Pumpkin extract has been shown to alleviate hyperglycemic symptoms by improving glucose metabolism disorders. However, the specific active components responsible for its hypoglycemic effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, db/db mice underwent a 4-week dietary intervention with two pumpkin flours (PF1 and PF2), total dietary fiber (TDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF), and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), with acarbose serving as a positive control.

Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, University of Münster, Corrensstr. 48, 48149, Muenster, Germany.

Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by missense mutations in the SLC22A5 gene encoding the organic carnitine transporter novel type 2 (OCTN2). This study investigates the structural consequences of PCD-causing mutations, focusing on the N32S variant. Using an alpha-fold model, molecular dynamics simulations reveal altered interactions and dynamics suggesting potential mechanistic changes in carnitine transport.
