Overall, these results indicate that increasing 2-AG levels may serve as a potential therapeutic approach to normalize cortical responses and improve behavioral outcomes in FXS and possibly other ASDs.
Migraine has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) events among middle-aged adults. The objective of this study was to determine the risk for ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) events among older adults with versus without migraine.

This retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from US adults ≥66 years of age with Medicare health insurance between 2008 and 2017. After stratification by history of CVD, patients with a history of migraine were matched 14 to those without a history of migraine, based on calendar year, age, and sex. Patients were followed through December 31, 2017 for ischemic stroke and CHD events including myocardial infarction or coronary revascularization. All analyses were done separately for patients with and without a history of CVD.

Among patients without a history of CVD (n= 109,950 including n= 21,990 with migraine and n= 87,960 without migraine), 1789 had an ischemic stroke and 3552 had a CHD event. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) among patientne are at increased risk for ischemic stroke.

The currently circulating novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has brought the whole world to a standstill. Recent studies have deciphered the viral genome structure, epidemiology and are in the process of unveiling multiple mechanisms of pathogenesis. Apart from atypical pneumonia and lung disease manifestations, this disease has also been found to be associated with neurological symptoms, which include dizziness, headache, stroke, or seizures, among others. However, a possible direct or indirect association between SARS-CoV-2 and seizures is still not clear. In any manner, it may be of interest to analyze the drugs being used for viral infection in the background of epilepsy or vice versa.

To identify the most credible drug candidate for COVID-19 in persons with epilepsy or COVID-19 patients experiencing seizures.

A literature search for original and review articles was performed, and further, the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database was used to unearth the most credible drug candidate.

Our search based on common mechanistic targets affecting SARS-CoV-2 and seizures revealed ivermectin, dexamethasone, anakinra, and tocilizumab for protection against both COVID-19 and seizures. Amongst the antiseizure medications, we found valproic acid as the most probable pharmacotherapy for COVID-19 patients experiencing seizures.

These findings would hopefully provide the basis for initiating further studies on the pathogenesis and drug targeting strategies for this emerging infection accompanied with seizures or in people with epilepsy.

Natural products from herbs are prolific to display robust anticancer activities.

In the current study, B-Raf kinase protein (PDB 3OG7), a potent target for melanoma, was tested against two guaiane-type sesquiterpene dimers, xylopin E-F, obtained from Xylopia vielana.

In this work, a systematic in silico study using ADMET analysis, bioactivity score forecasts, molecular docking, and its simulations were conducted to understand compounds' pharmacological properties.

During ADMET predictions of both the compounds, Xylopin E-F has displayed a safer profile in hepatotoxicity, cytochrome inhibition, and only xylopin F displayed as non-cardiotoxic compared to FDA approved drug vemurafenib. Both the compounds were proceeded to molecular docking experiments using Autodock docking software and both the compounds Xylopin E-F have displayed higher binding potential with -11.5Kcal/mol energy compared to control vemurafenib -10.2 Kcal/mol. All the compounds were further evaluated for their MD simulations and their molecular interactions with the B-Raf kinase complex displayed precise interactions with the active gorge of the enzyme by hydrogen bonding.

Overall, xylopin F had a better profile relative to xylopin E and vemurafenib, and these findings indicated that this bio-molecule could be used as an anti-melanoma agent and as a possible anticancer drug in the future. Therefore, this is a systematic optimized in silico approach to creating an anticancer pathway for guaiane dimers against the backdrop of its potential for future drug development.

Polymers are the backbone of modern pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery technologies. Polymers that may be natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic are used to control the release of drugs in a pre-programmed fashion. The drug delivery systems are mainly prepared to enhance the bioavailability, site-specific release, sustained release, controlled release, i.e., to modify the release of drug from dosage form may be a tablet, capsule, etc. Objective The objective of the present study is to overview the recent patents concerning the application of eudragit in the prevention of cancer and other ailments. Eudragit polymers are polymethacrylates and may be anionic, cationic, or non-ionic polymers of methacrylic acid, dimethyl-aminoethyl methacrylates, and methacrylic acid esters in varying ratios. Eudragit is available in various grades with solubilities at different pH, thus helping the formulators design the preparation to have a well-defined release pattern.

In this review, patent applications of eudragit in various drug delivery systems employed to cure mainly cancer are covered.

Eudragit has proved its potential as a polymer to control the release of drugs as coating polymer and formation of the matrix in various delivery systems. It can increase the bioavailability of the drug by site-specific drug delivery and can reduce the side effects/toxicity associated with anticancer drugs.

The potential of eudragit to carry the drug may unclutter novel ways for therapeutic intercessions in various tumors.

In this report, we describe a case of domperidone withdrawal in a woman with a history of major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who experienced a recurrence of these disorders after stopping domperidone.

The symptoms improved after the restarting of domperidone and disappeared gradually as the drug was tapered and discontinued. Clinicians should consider domperidone withdrawal a differential diagnosis in women with a history of depression or anxiety who present with an acute onset of these symptoms following the abrupt discontinuation of domperidone.

A gradual taper off of the drug may be effective in minimizing withdrawal symptoms and obviate the need for psychotropic drug use.

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) has already tormented humanity and the environment for a long time and is responsible for many difficult-to-treat infections. Unfortunately, there are limited therapeutic options, and MRSA isolates with complete resistance to vancomycin, the first-line drug for the treatment of MRSA infections, have already emerged in recent years. link2 Moxifloxacin retained activity against mutant bacterial strains with various levels of fluoroquinolones resistance and had a lower potential to select for resistant mutants. Isatin is a versatile structure, and its derivatives are potent inhibitors of many enzymes and receptors. The fluoroquinolone-isatin derivatives demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant organisms. The structure-activity relationship elucidated that incorporation of 1,2,3-triazole moiety into the C-7 position of fluoroquinolone skeleton was favorable to the antibacterial activity. Accordingly, fluoroquinolone derivatives with isatin and 1,2,3-triazole fragments at the side chain on the C-7 position are promising candidates to fight against drug-resistant bacteria.

To explore more active moxifloxacin derivatives to fight against MRSA and enrich the structure-activity relationships.

The synthesized moxifloxacin derivatives 7a-i and 14a-f were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against a panel of MRSA strains by means of standard two-fold serial dilution method.

The majority of the synthesized moxifloxacin derivatives were active against most of the tested MRSA strains with MIC values in a range of 1 to 64 μg/mL. The mechanistic investigations revealed that topoisomerase IV was one of the targets for antibacterial activity.

These derivatives are useful scaffolds for the development of novel topoisomerase IV inhibitors.

Cardiometabolic index (CMI) is associated with several risk factors for stroke; however, few studies have assessed the role of CMI in stroke risk.

This study aimed to assess the association between CMI and stroke in a population-based cross-sectional study.

This study included 4445 general residents aged ≥40 years selected by multistage stratified random cluster sampling. CMI was calculated as the product of the ratio of waist circumference to height (WHtR) and the ratio of triglyceride levels to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (TG/HDL-C). Participants were categorized according to CMI quartiles quartile 1 (Q1), quartile 2 (Q2), quartile 3 (Q3), and quartile 4 (Q4). Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the association between CMI and stroke.

A total of 4052 participants were included in the study, with an overall stroke prevalence of 7.2%. link3 The prevalence of stroke increased with CMI quartiles, ranging from 4.4% to 9.2% (p for trend <0.001). Compared with Q1, stroke risk for Q2, Q3, and Q4 were 1.550-, 1.693-, and 1.704- fold, respectively. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) [95% CI] was (0.574 [0.558-0.589]) for CMI, 0.627 [0.612-0.642]) (p=0.0024) for WHtR, 0.556 [0.540-0.571]) (p<0.0001) for TG/HDL-C. CMI was inferior to WHtR, but CMI had marginal advantage over TG/HDL-C in terms of its stroke discrimination ability.

Although there was a strong and independent association between CMI and stroke in the general population, CMI had limited discriminating ability for stroke. Thus, new parameters should be developed.
