CYP-catalysed Cycling of Clozapine and Clozapine- N-oxide Promotes the Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species in vitro

42 views | Feb 06 2024

This study reveals that specific CYP isoforms, particularly CYP3A4, not only drive clozapine metabolism to its major metabolites but also link to the formation of reactive species, potentially underpinning clozapine-induced toxicity in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. [Read the Full Post]

Nuciferine protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced endometritis via inhibiting ferroptosis and modulating AMPKα/mTOR/HIF-1α signaling axis

34 views | Nov 16 2023

Nuciferine (NF) demonstrates protective effects against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endometritis in mice by modulating multiple pathways, including MyD88/NF-κB, MAPK, ferroptosis, and the AMPKα/mTOR/HIF1α signaling axis, while also exerting direct anti-inflammatory effects in endometrial epithelial cells through the inhibition of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Antidepressant efficacy of cariprazine in bipolar disorder and the role of its pharmacodynamic properties: A hypothesis based on data

74 views | May 04 2023

The study investigated whether the pharmacodynamic properties of cariprazine fit into a previously developed model for the treatment of bipolar depression, which was based on a combination of clinical and preclinical data, and found that its properties fit well with the proposed model, but further clarification is needed regarding its norepinephrine reuptake inhibition.

Anti-Parkinson Effects of Holothuria leucospilota-Derived Palmitic Acid in Caenorhabditis elegans Model of Parkinson's Disease

32 views | May 02 2023

The study found that HLEA-P3, a compound derived from the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota, composed of palmitic acid, showed potential anti-Parkinson effects in C. elegans models by restoring dopaminergic neurons, reducing oxidative stress, decreasing α-synuclein aggregation, and upregulating genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and autophagic mediators.

4-octyl itaconate ameliorates alveolar macrophage pyroptosis against ARDS via rescuing mitochondrial dysfunction and suppressing the cGAS/STING pathway

126 views | Apr 28 2023

This study suggests that 4-octyl itaconate has the potential to ameliorate acute respiratory distress syndrome by inhibiting NLRP3-mediated macrophage pyroptosis in a STING/IRF3-dependent manner and rescuing mitochondrial dysfunction. [Read the Full Post]

Disruption of clathrin-dependent trafficking results in the failure of grass carp reovirus cellular entry

1449 views | Sep 08 2018

Wang H et al. suggested that GCRV might enter CIK cells via clathrin-mediated endocytosis in a pH-dependent manner. Additionally, dynamin is critical for efficient viral entry. [Read the Full Post]
