Administration of exercise-conditioned plasma alters muscle catalase kinetics in rat: An argument for in vivo-like Km instead of in vitro-like Vmax
(2018)Maximal velocity (Vmax) is a well established biomarker for the assessment of tissue redox status. There is scarce evidence, though, that it does not probably reflect sufficiently in vivo tissue redox profile. Instead, the ... -
Affinity crystallography reveals the bioactive compounds of industrial juicing byproducts of Punica granatum for glycogen phosphorylase

Design and Synthesis of Type-IV Inhibitors of BRAF Kinase That Block Dimerization and Overcome Paradoxical MEK/ERK Activation
(2019)Despite the clinical success of BRAF inhibitors like vemurafenib in treating metastatic melanoma, resistance has emerged through "paradoxical MEK/ERK signaling" where transactivation of one protomer occurs as a result of ... -
Discovery of Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB Ligand with a Superior Therapeutic Index
(2020)Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) constitutes the master mediator of osteoclastogenesis, while its pharmaceutical inhibition by a monoclonal antibody has been approved for the treatment of postmenopausal ... -
DNA methylation regulates miR-140-5p and miR-146a expression in osteoarthritis
(2019)Aims: Previous studies have demonstrated that transcriptional silencing of miRNAs due to DNA hypermethylation is associated with different pathologies. It has also been reported that abnormal expression of miR-140-5p and ... -
An evaluation of indirubin analogues as phosphorylase kinase inhibitors
(2015)Phosphorylase kinase (PhK) has been linked with a number of conditions such as glycogen storage diseases, psoriasis, type 2 diabetes and more recently, cancer (Camus et al., 2012 [6]). However, with few reported structural ... -
Functional characterization and anti-cancer action of the clinical phase II cardiac Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitor istaroxime: In vitro and in vivo properties and cross talk with the membrane androgen receptor
(2016)Sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase) is a validated pharmacological target for the treatment of various cardiac conditions. Recent published data with Na+/K+ ATPase inhibitors suggest a potent anti-cancer action of these ... -
Glycogen phosphorylase as a target for type 2 diabetes: Synthetic, biochemical, structural and computational evaluation of novel N-acyl-N´-(β-D-glucopyranosyl) urea inhibitors
(2015)Glycogen phosphorylase (GP), a validated target for the development of anti-hyperglycaemic agents, has been targeted for the design of novel glycopyranosylamine inhibitors. Exploiting the two most potent inhibitors from ... -
Intensity of Humoral Immune Responses, Adverse Reactions, and Post-Vaccination Morbidity after Adenovirus Vector-Based and mRNA Anti-COVID-19 Vaccines
(2022)The aim of the study was to compare mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 with adenovirus vector- based vaccines in terms of presence of adverse reactions, immunogenicity, and protection against COVID-19. A total of 270 individuals were ... -
Methods of analysis and meta-analysis for identifying differentially expressed genes
(2018)Microarray approaches are widely used high-throughput techniques to assess simultaneously the expression of thousands of genes under certain conditions and study the effects of certain treatments, diseases, and developmental ... -
Modulators of actin-myosin dissociation: Basis for muscle type functional differences during fatigue
(2017)The muscle types present with variable fatigue tolerance, in part due to the myosin isoform expressed. However, the critical steps that define “fatigability” in vivo of fast vs. slow myosin isoforms, at the molecular level, ... -
A multifunctional RNA recognition motif in poly(A)-specific ribonuclease with cap and poly(A) binding properties
(2007)Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) is an oligomeric, processive and cap-interacting 3′ exoribonuclease that efficiently degrades mRNA poly(A) tails. Here we show that the RNA recognition motif (RRM) of PARN harbors both ... -
Nicotinic cholinergic system and COVID-19: In silico evaluation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonists as potential therapeutic interventions
