The kinetics of oxidation of 15 alpha-methyl-8-aza-16-oxagona-1,3,5(10),13-tetraen-17-on with rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 was investigated. The kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax, of the oxidation reaction were found to be equal to 1,3 X 10(-4) M and 4.0 X 10(-7) M X s-1, respectively. Using thin-layer chromatography, mass-spectrometry, PMR-spectroscopy and reciprocal synthesis, it was shown that 3-hydroxy-15 alpha-methyl-8-aza-16-oxagona-1,3,5(10), 13-tetraen-17-on is the main reaction product.

Eumycetoma, a chronic fungal infection caused by , is a neglected tropical disease characterized by tumor-like growths that can lead to permanent disability and deformities if untreated. Predominantly affecting regions in Africa, South America, and Asia, it imposes significant physical, social, and economic burdens. Current treatments, including antifungal drugs like itraconazole, often show variable efficacy, with severe cases necessitating surgical intervention or amputation.

In our previous research, we found that not only participates in the detoxification metabolism of neonicotinoid insecticides in cotton aphid but also affects their growth and development. However, how does transgenic cotton expressing ds affect the growth and development of cotton aphid? In this study, we combined transcriptome and metabolome to analyze how to inhibit the growth and development of cotton aphid treated with transgenic cotton expressing ds (TG cotton). The results suggested that a total of 509 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified based on the DESeq method, and a total of 431 differential metabolites (DAMs) were discovered using UPLC-MS in the metabolic analysis.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder influenced by proteins involved in skin barrier maintenance and vitamin D metabolism. Using an intra-patient design, this study compared protein expression in intra-lesional (IL) and peri-lesional (PL) skin biopsies from AD patients and examined associations between protein levels, vitamin D status, and clinical features. Forty-four biopsies from twenty-two AD patients were analyzed using antibody microarrays targeting twelve proteins.

This study aimed to investigate whether the water-soluble pharmaceutical form of phosphatidylcholine nanoparticles (wPC) stimulated the catalytic activity of CYP enzymes 2C9 and 2D6. We have shown that electroenzymatic CYP2C9 catalysis to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen as a substrate was enhanced from 100% to 155% in the presence of wPC in media. Electroenzymatic CYP2D6 activity in the presence of the adrenoceptor-blocking agent bisoprolol as a substrate was elevated significantly from 100% to 144% when wPC was added to potassium phosphate buffer solution.
