1. The potency and selectivity of omeprazole as an inhibitor of cytochrome P450-mediated drug oxidations has been assessed in hepatic microsomes from the untreated, phenobarbitone-treated, beta-naphthoflavone-treated and dexamethasone-treated rat. Using the marker substrates diazepam, ethoxycoumarin, ethoxyresofurin and ethylmorphine in the above microsomal preparations, inhibitory activity against CYP1A, 2B, 2C and 3A members of the cytochrome P450 superfamily were determined. 2. In each situation studied the kinetics of inhibition by omeprazole were competitive in nature with Ki's ranging from 25 to > 1000 microM. Marker activities for the 3A family in microsomes from the dexamethasone-treated and phenobarbitone-treated rat (3-hydroxylation of diazepam and N-demethylation of ethylmorphine) were most susceptible to omeprazole inhibition (Km/Ki ratios greater than unity) compared with marker activities for the CYP1A, 2B and 2C sub-families (Km/Ki ratios < or = unity). 3. Omeprazole sulphoxide showed similar potency and selectivity of inhibition to its parent drug. Analogous studies with the same marker activities using ketoconazole indicated that both omeprazole and its sulphoxide metabolite are less potent as an inhibitor of cytochrome P4503A in rat than this well characterised prototype.

Up to 90% of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients will develop resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, posing substantial therapeutic challenges due to a lack of universally druggable targets. Leveraging BenevolentAI's AI-driven approach to target discovery, we screened potential AI-predicted therapeutic targets mapped to unapproved tool compounds in patient-derived 3D models. This identified TNIK, which is modulated by NCB-0846, as a novel target for platinum-resistant HGSC.

Natural aging is associated with mild memory loss and cognitive decline, and age is the greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress is a major contributor to both natural aging and neurodegenerative disease, and coincidently, levels of redox active metals such as Fe and Cu are known to be elevated later in life. Recently, a pronounced age-related increase in Cu content has been reported to occur in mice and rats around a vital regulatory brain region, the subventricular zone of lateral ventricles.

Background/purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignancy often associated with poor prognosis due to chemoresistance. In this study, we investigated whether arecoline, a major alkaloid in betel nuts, can stimulate aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) levels in OSCC, promoting cancer stemness and leading to resistance to cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy.
Materials And Methods: Gain- and Loss- of AKR1B10 functions were analyzed using WB and q-PCR of OSCC cells.

Background/purpose: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a premalignant condition of the oral cavity, and its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. A multitude of non-coding RNAs are aberrantly expressed in OSF, and their implication for the development of OSF is a matter meriting investigation.
Materials And Methods: The functional role of long non-coding RNA NCK1-AS1 in myofibroblast activation of fibrotic buccal mucosal fibroblasts (fBMFs) derived from OSF tissues was assessed.
