Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder in women's reproductive age. Currently, the pathophysiology of PCOS is unclear, and the limited treatment options are unsatisfactory. Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is functional food oil associated with pharmacological effects in reproductive disorders.

To examine the effects of clomiphene citrate (CC) on follicular fluid metabolites and related metabolic pathways in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using non-targeted metabolomics and determine how CC treats ovulation disorder in PCOS. The Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model, and CC groups. A PCOS model was established with letrozole.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine, metabolic, and reproductive disorder which, according to the Rotterdam criteria, affects up to 24% of women of childbearing age. Although the prevalence of infertility in this subpopulation of women is high, the optimal treatment has not been fully established yet. Insulin resistance is considered to be an important mechanism involved in the development of PCOS; hence, the aim of this narrative review is to present an overview of the current pharmacological insulin-sensitizing treatment modalities for infertile women with PCOS.

The complex between the Rev protein of HIV-1 and the Rev Recognition Element (RRE) within the virus RNA promotes nuclear export of unspliced or incompletely spliced viral transcripts and is required for virus transmission. Here, we have screened a virtual collection of compounds using a pharmacophore based on the chemical similarity of previously characterized inhibitors to identify new chemical scaffolds blocking the RRE-Rev interaction. The best molecules discovered with this strategy inhibited the complex by binding to the RRE and exhibited substantial antiretroviral activity (between 0.
