Molecular Mechanism for the Allosteric Inhibition of the Human Serotonin Transporter by Antidepressant Escitalopram

Weiwei Xue et al.

Summary: This study explored the allosteric modulation mechanism of hSERT using two MD simulation strategies. The results showed that escitalopram enhanced its binding to the orthosteric site by binding to the allosteric site. Additionally, escitalopram occupying the allosteric site also blocked its dissociation from the orthosteric site. A new conformational coupling between extracellular and intracellular salt bridges was also identified. These findings are important for understanding the allosteric modulations of not only hSERT but also other clinically important therapeutic targets.

Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury and concomitant apoptosis induction via ROS-me diate d ER stress is efficaciously counteracted by epigallocatechin gallate

Sukkum Ngullie Chang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the protective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (RIAKI). EGCG treatment reduced serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and lactate dehydrogenase levels, as well as the formation of damaged tubules. It also suppressed inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress. Furthermore, EGCG inhibited apoptosis in kidney tubules and HEK-293 cells and downregulated markers of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. These findings suggest that EGCG has therapeutic potential for AKI.

Insights into cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition by isolated bioactive compounds 3-caffeoyl-4-dihydrocaffeoyl quinic acid and isorhamnetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside from Salicornia herbacea

Ashutosh Bahuguna et al.

Summary: The study investigated the inhibitory potential of bioactive compounds CDQ and IDG isolated from Salicornia herbacea against COX-2. Both compounds showed significant COX-2 inhibition and downregulation of COX-2 expression at the cellular level. Computational and experimental analysis established the potential of CDQ and IDG as therapeutic agents against COX-2 linked disorders, suggesting their potential for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.
