Structure restoration and aggregate inhibition of V30M mutant transthyretin protein by potential quinoline molecules

Sachin Kumar et al.

Summary: Transthyretin (TTR) is a transporter protein for thyroxine (T4) and retinol, and the V30M mutation destabilizes TTR structure and leads to TTR amyloidosis. In this study, quinoline molecules were synthesized and tested for their ability to stabilize V30M TTR. The results showed that the binding of quinoline molecules reversed the structural changes caused by the mutation, including flexibility, secondary structure, and electrostatic surface potential.

Amentoflavone as an Ally in the Treatment of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: Analysis of Its Antioxidant/Prooxidant Mechanisms

Yasmin Silva Rizk et al.

Summary: Treatment of leishmaniasis is challenging due to limited chemotherapy options with toxicity and adverse effects. The research on antileishmanial activity of amentoflavone, a biflavonoid derived from plant, showed promising results in reducing parasite load and affecting inflammatory markers in mice infected with L. amazonensis. Amentoflavone demonstrated potential as a treatment for cutaneous leishmaniasis by balancing inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses at the infection site.

Molecular mechanism of Epicedium treatment for depression based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology

Yankai Dong et al.

Summary: The study using network pharmacology revealed that Epicedium's key targets for treating depression are IL6, VEGFA, AKT1, and EGF, regulating multiple signaling pathways such as dopaminergic synapse, TNF signaling pathway, and prolactin signaling pathway. The active compounds in Epicedium, including luteoklin, quercetin, and kaempferol, can play therapeutic roles in depression by interacting with these key targets.
