A hybrid evaluation of the intestinal absorption performance of compounds from molecular structure

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

The QSPR model accurately predicted the intestinal absorption of molecules, and the computer simulation found the mechanism of molecular structure affecting intestinal absorption. Abstract Intestinal absorption of compounds is significant in drug research and development. To evaluate this efficiently, a method combining mathematical modeling and molecular simulation was proposed, from the perspective of molecular structure.

Cannabinoid 2 receptor activation protects against diabetic cardiomyopathy through inhibition of AGE/RAGE-induced oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammasome activation [Cardiovascular]

ASPET

Oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammasome activation from AGE-RAGE interaction contribute to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) formation and progression. Our study revealed the impact of β-caryophyllene (BCP) on activating CB2 receptors against diabetes complications and investigated the underlying cell signaling pathways in mice. The murine model of DCM was developed by feeding high-fat diet with streptozotocin injections.

Formoterol alters chemokine expression and ameliorates pain behaviors after moderate spinal cord injury in female mice [Neuropharmacology]

ASPET

Secondary spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by increased cytokines and chemokines at the site of injury that have been associated with the development of neuropathic pain. Nearly 80% of SCI patients report suffering from chronic pain, which is poorly managed with available analgesics. While treatment with the FDA-approved β 2 -adrenergic receptor agonist, formoterol, improves various aspects of recovery post-SCI in vivo , its effects on cytokines, chemokines and neuropathic pain rem
