1. The enzyme was rapidly inactivated by NAD(P)H, GSH, dithionite or borohydride, while activity increased in the presence of NAD(P)+ or GSSG. NADH was more efficient for inactivation than NADPH. Redox inactivation required neutral or alkaline pH, was maximal at pH 8.5, and depended on the presence of metal cations. 2. GSSG and dithiothreitol fully protected the enzyme from inactivation at concentrations stoichiometric with NAD(P)H. Ten-fold higher ferricyanide or GSH concentrations were required to obtain partial protection. NAD+ or NADP+ were quite ineffective. 3. GSSG fully reactivated the inactive enzyme at 38 degrees C and neutral to acidic pH (5.5-7.5). Reactivation by dithiothreitol was accomplished in short periods of time at pH 8.5 although the activity was progressively lost afterwards. Ferricyanide and GSH also reactivated the enzyme to different extents.

Article Synopsis
- - The efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer treatment is limited due to serious side effects, inefficient drug delivery, and a weak immunogenic death effect, leading researchers to develop an improved method using 3LL cell-derived extracellular vesicles to encapsulate DOX and sodium nitroprusside (SNP).
- - The new formulation, DOX/SNP@CM, effectively targets tumors by utilizing tumor cell membranes and enhances chemotherapy's impact, with SNP generating nitric oxide (NO) that increases Fas expression on cancer cells, promoting their apoptosis.
- - This method also enhances anti-tumor immunity by increasing cytotoxic T cell infiltration and stimulating the immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect, making

Sodium nitroprusside mediates drought stress responses in tomatoes by modulating nitrosative and oxidative pathways, highlighting the interplay between nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, and antioxidant systems for enhanced drought tolerance. While nitric oxide (NO), a signalling molecule, enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, its precise contribution to improving tomato tolerance to drought stress (DS) through modulating oxide-nitrosative processes is not yet fully understood. We aimed to examine the interaction of NO and nitrosative signaling, revealing how sodium nitroprusside (SNP) could mitigate the effects of DS on tomatoes.

Desipramine a representative of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) promotes recovery of depressed patients by inhibition of reuptake of neurotransmitters serotonin (SER) and norepinephrine (NE) in the presynaptic membrane by directly blocking their respective transporters SERT and NET. To study the effect of desipramine on programmed erythrocyte death (eryptosis) and explore the underlying mechanisms. Phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure on the cell surface as marker of cell death was estimated from annexin-V-binding, cell volume from forward scatter in flow cytometry.

Icaritin (ICT) is a prenylflavonoid derivative that has been approved by National Medical Products Administration for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aims to evaluate the potential inhibitory effect of ICT against cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and to elucidate the inactivation mechanisms. Results showed that ICT inactivated CYP2C9 in a time-, concentration-, and NADPH-dependent manner with K = 1.
