Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. New AD treatments are essential, drug repositioning promising approach. In this study, we combined ligand-based structure-based approaches to identify potential candidates among FDA-approved drugs for treatment. We used the human acetylcholinesterase receptor structure (PDB ID: 4EY7) applied Rapid Overlay of Chemical Structures Swiss Similarity screening.Computational shape-based screening revealed 20 out 760 FDA approved with structural similarity Donepezil, an treatment AChE inhibitor query molecule. The screened hits were further analyzed using docking analysis Autodock Vina Schrodinger glide. Predicted binding affinities guided prioritization candidates. Doxazosin, Oxypertine, Cyclopenthiazide, Mestranol, Terazosin exhibited favorable properties in shape similarity, energy, molecular dynamics stability.Molecular simulations confirmed stability complexes over 100 ns. Binding free energy MM-GBSA indicated favourable energies selected drugs. ADME, formulation studies offered insights into therapeutic applications predicted toxicity.This comprehensive computational approach identified (especially Doxazosin) as repurposing treatment, warranting investigation clinical assessment.

Repurposing existing drugs for cancer therapy has become an important strategy because of its advantages, such as cost reduction, effect and safety. The present study was designed to investigate the antimelanoma possible mechanisms action nebivolol, which is approved widely prescribed antihypertensive agent. In this study, we explored nebivolol on cell proliferation activity in melanoma vitro potential mechanism through a series experiments, including analysis effects with regard apoptosis metastasis. Furthermore, evaluated xenograft tumor models inspected vivo using immunohistochemical immunofluorescence staining assays. As results work, , possessed strong suppression cycle arrest melanoma. Moreover, significantly induced mitochondrial-mediated endogenous pathway. Additionally, inhibited More importantly, exhibited effective related induction, inhibition, metastasis blocking angiogenesis arrest. Overall, data recommend that holds great application novel agent treatment

Alzheimer's disease, is one of the irreversible neurodegenerative disorders among older people, causes behavior, memory, and thinking problems. This study aim to synthesize 4‐({8‐[3‐(dimethylamino)phenoxy]octyl}oxy)phthalonitrile, zinc(II) phthalocyanine its water soluble derivative containing ({8‐[3‐(dimethylamino)phenoxy]octyl}oxy) substituents at peripheral positions first time. To determine potential silicon(IV) phthalocyanines for use in AD, spectrophotometric assays were performed their acetylcholinesterase/butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory effects. In addition, DNA nuclease properties evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that compounds inhibited acetylcholinesterase/butyrylcholinesterase. They did not damage pBR322 plasmid depending on time concentration. As a result experiments, it revealed may be as cholinesterase inhibitors, which promising approach treatment disease.

Sulfenylation is a reversible oxidative posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins on cysteine residues. Despite the dissection various biological functions sulfenylation, its roles in hepatic fibrosis remain elusive. Here, we report that EphB2, receptor tyrosine kinase previously implicated liver fibrosis, regulated by sulfenylation during fibrotic progression liver. Specifically, EphB2 sulfenylated at residues Cys636 and Cys862 activated stellate cells (HSCs), leading to elevation activity protein stability stronger interactions with focal adhesion for activation downstream mitogen-activated signaling. The inhibitions both idebenone (IDE), marketed drug potent antioxidant activity, can markedly suppress HSCs ameliorate injury two well-recognized mouse models fibrosis. Collectively, this study reveals as new type PTM sheds light therapeutic potential IDE treatment

Humanity is facing a vast prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most dominant, without efficacious drugs, and only few therapeutic targets identified. In this scenario, we aim to find molecular entities that modulate imidazoline I2 receptors (I2-IRs) have been pointed out as relevant in AD. work, explored structural modifications well-established I2-IR ligands, giving access derivatives an imidazole-linked heterocycle common key feature. We report synthesis, affinity human I2-IRs, brain penetration capabilities, silico ADMET studies, three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) studies new bunch ligands. Selected compounds showed neuroprotective properties beneficial effects vitro model Parkinson's disease, rescued dopaminergic cell line SH-SY5Y from death after treatment 6-hydroxydopamine, crucial anti-inflammatory cellular neuroinflammation. After preliminary pharmacokinetic study, action our representative 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-1H-imidazole LSL33 mouse AD (5xFAD). Oral administration at 2 mg/Kg for 4 weeks ameliorated 5XFAD cognitive impairment synaptic plasticity, well reduced neuroinflammation markers. summary, ligand promoted should be considered promising strategy neurodegeneration.
