Oxidative Stress-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Diseases

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 27(3)

Опубликована: Март 18, 2022

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality worldwide. A better understanding the mechanisms underlying CVD key for management or prevention. Oxidative stress has been strongly implicated in pathogenesis CVD. Indeed, several studies demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS), via different mechanisms, can lead to endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, player etiology CVDs. ROS appears modulate plethora EC biological processes are critical integrity function. This review seeks dissect role oxidative stress-induced dysfunction development, with emphasis on and pathways. Special attention given ROS-induced reduction NO bioavailability, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction. appraisal these pathways may be essential attenuate reverse hence, reduce burden.

Efficient Data-Driven Machine Learning Models for Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Prediction

Sensors, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 23(3), С. 1161 - 1161

Опубликована: Янв. 19, 2023

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are now the leading cause of death, as quality life and human habits have changed significantly. CVDs accompanied by various complications, including all pathological changes involving heart and/or blood vessels. The list includes hypertension, coronary disease, failure, angina, myocardial infarction stroke. Hence, prevention early diagnosis could limit onset or progression disease. Nowadays, machine learning (ML) techniques gained a significant role in disease prediction an essential tool medicine. In this study, supervised ML-based methodology is presented through which we aim to design efficient models for CVD manifestation, highlighting SMOTE technique's superiority. Detailed analysis understanding risk factors shown explore their importance contribution prediction. These fed input features plethora ML models, trained tested identify most appropriate our objective under binary classification problem with uniform class probability distribution. Various were evaluated after use non-use Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), comparing them terms Accuracy, Recall, Precision Area Under Curve (AUC). experiment results showed that Stacking ensemble model 10-fold cross-validation prevailed over other ones achieving Accuracy 87.8%, Recall 88.3%, 88% AUC equal 98.2%.

Anti-inflammatory activity of phytochemicals from medicinal plants and their nanoparticles: A review

Current Research in Biotechnology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 6, С. 100152 - 100152

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2023

Plant-based phytochemicals are known for their potential sources of anti-inflammatory agents. Various studies reported the disease-healing efficiency medicinal plants' crude extracts, pure compounds, and metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (M/MONPs) against inflammation. The purpose this paper is to review current research status plants as agents by various studies. Phytochemicals representing class flavonoids, terpenoids, polyphenols, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, chemical constituents essential oils, some M/MONPs were from about 50 treatment inflammatory diseases. natural products these demonstrated promising activities treat skin, liver, cardiovascular, joint, gastrointestinal, neurological, lung inflammation Besides, mechanism actions also summarized briefly. phytochemistry, M/MONPs, have developed novel, safe, lesser side effects Hence, may draw attention scholars more toward investigation in different health disorders.

Exploration of natural products for the development of promising Cholinesterase inhibitors in Alzheimer’s disease treatment

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(4), С. e42479 - e42479

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

Cholinesterase enzymes (BuChE and AChE) are privileged biological targets for the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, inhibition cholinesterase has been proven to improve neurotransmission mechanisms in disease patients. In this investigation, we attempt highlight new inhibitors from natural products. For purpose, secondary metabolites (299 phytoconstituents) twenty-eight Medicinal plants were virtually screened using molecular docking, pharmacokinetic toxicological analysis. Ten phytoconstituents (L82, L86, L92, L121, L148, L187, L211, L221, L228) exhibited their high binding affinity with BuChE, five phytoconstituents, namely L119, L147, L149, L192 L193, strong ability AChE. Subsequently, these evaluated ADMET properties. As result, L221 is predicted be highly bioavailable readily absorbed by human intestinal tract without significant toxicity concerns, making it suitable oral administration. Crucially, can penetrate blood-brain barrier (BBB), allowing effectively reach central nervous system. Molecular dynamics simulations MM-PBSA analysis revealed that best-screened phytoconstituent form thermodynamically favorable stable complex BuChE site.
