Some transition metals, like manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc, required for the biosynthesis of metalloenzymes and metalloproteins, are essential micronutrients for the growth and development of pathogenic microorganisms. Among the defenses put in place by the host organism, the so-called ''nutritional immunity'' consists of reducing the availability of micronutrients and thus ''starving'' the pathogen. In the case of metals, microorganisms can fight the nutritional immunity in different ways, i.e. by directly recruiting the metal ion or capturing an extracellular metalloprotein or also through the synthesis of specific metallophores which allow importing metal in the form of a chelate complex. The best known and most studied metallophores are those directed to iron (siderophores), but analogous chelators are also expressed by microorganisms to capture other metals, such as zinc. Efficient zinc recruitment can also be achieved by means of specialized zinc-binding proteins. Deep knowledge of the properties, structure and action mechanisms of extracytoplasmic zinc chelators can be a powerful tool to find out new therapeutic strategies against antibiotic and/or antifungal resistance. This review aims to collect the knowledge concerning zincophores (small molecules and proteins in charge of zinc acquisition) expressed by bacterial or fungal microorganisms that are pathogenic for the human body.
The progression of ovarian cancer seems to be related to HDAC1, HDAC3 and HDAC6 activity. A possible strategy for improving therapies for treating ovarian carcinoma, minimizing the preclinical screenings, is the repurposing of already approved pharmaceutical products as inhibitors of these enzymes.
This work was aimed to implement a computational strategy for identifying new HDAC inhibitors for ovarian carcinoma treatment among approved drugs.
The CHEMBL database was used to construct training, test and decoys sets for performing and validating HDAC1, HDAC3 and HDAC6 3D-QSAR models obtained by using FLAP program. Docking and MD simulations were used in combination with the generated models to identify novel potential HDAC inhibitors. Pilaralisib in vivo Cell viability assays and Western blot analyses were performed on normal and cancer cells for a direct evaluation of the anti-proliferative activity and an in vitro estimation of HDAC inhibition of the compounds selected through in silico screening.
The best quantitative nitro group as a new zinc binding group, able to interact with the catalytic zinc ion of HDACs.Bilastine (BIL) is the new generation antihistamine that is used to relieve the symptoms of hayfever, chronic urticaria and other forms of allergic rhinitis. Chemically it is known 2-[4-[2-[4-[1-(2-ethoxyethyl) benzimidazole-2-yl] piperidine-1-yl] ethyl] phenyl]-2-methylpropane acid. The chemical structure of BIL having hydrophilic carboxylic substituent. BIL has a longer duration of action due to potent binding affinity to the H1 receptor. This review summarizes the properties, characteristics, chemistry along with analytical and bioanalytical methods used for estimation of BIL from different scientific articles. The literature has demonstrated some methods for quantification of BIL in various sample matrix and pharmaceutical products. Frequently and extensively used antihistaminics are in the clinic practice, a novel, effective, economical and safe analytical methodology is required for routine quality control analysis, bioavailability and bioequivalence studies. Furthermore, this narrative review summarizes available data on chemistry, pharmacology and analysis of BIL in different matrix.The longitudinal increment of blood pressure (BP) with age is attributed to lifestyle, internal and external environments. It is not limited to systemic brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), signaling to allow the individuals to better adapt to the developmental and environmental change. This regulation is necessary for all lives, regardless of sex. Basic levels of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system (RAAS) components in males and females define the fundamental sex difference in BP, which may be set by prenatal programming and profoundly influence BP after birth. The innate sex difference in BP is magnified during puberty growth and further modified by menopause. At the age of 70 or older, blood pressure was similar in men and women. The understanding of the prenatal setup and development of sexual dimorphism in BP may provide preventative therapeutic strategies, including timing and drugs, for individuals with abnormal BP.
Acute stress is known to be associated with both negative and positive influences on cognitive performance. Hypertension is one of the risk factors for lowered cognitive performance. Mental stress testing is easier to administer and can be regulated by the investigator. Mental arithmetic, using serial subtraction, is the most widely used method to administer stress. Reaction time (RT) is widely used to assess cognitive domains like attention, execution, and psychomotor speed. Researchers have shown that choice reaction times are delayed in hypertension. It is not known whether acute mental stress improves or deteriorates attention, execution, and psychomotor speed in hypertension. We hypothesized in the present study that acute mental stress deteriorates cognitive function in hypertensives without overt cerebro-vascular disease or other vascular risk factors.
After getting medical ethical clearance from our institution, this case-control study was carried out over eight months (January 2017 to September 2ant difference in cognitive functions in hypertensive and non-hypertensive subjects exists, and this further deteriorates with acute mental stress.
A significant difference in cognitive functions in hypertensive and non-hypertensive subjects exists, and this further deteriorates with acute mental stress.TypeⅠ enveloped viruses bind to cell receptors through surface glycoproteins to initiate infection or undergo receptor-mediated endocytosis. They also initiate membrane fusion in the acidic environment of endocytic compartments, releasing genetic material into the cell. In the process of membrane fusion, envelope protein exposes fusion peptide, followed by insertion into the cell membrane or endosomal membrane. Further conformational changes ensue in which the type 1 envelope protein forms a typical six-helix bundle structure, shortening the distance between viral and cell membranes so that fusion can occur. Entry inhibitors targeting viral envelope proteins, or host factors, are effective antiviral agents and have been widely studied. Some have been used clinically, such as T20 and Maraviroc for human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) or Myrcludex B for hepatitis D virus (HDV). This review focuses on entry inhibitors that target the six-helical bundle core against highly pathogenic enveloped viruses with class I fusion proteins, including retroviruses, coronaviruses, influenza A viruses, paramyxoviruses, and filoviruses.
