Grapefruit Flavonoid Naringenin Regulates the Expression of LXRα in THP-1 Macrophages by Modulating AMP-Activated Protein Kinase

10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.7b00797

2018-04-19

The present work investigates the modulation of grapefruit flavonoid naringenin over liver X receptor alpha (LXRα) and its target genes in THP-1 macrophages, focusing on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) implication. Naringenin induced LXRα at mRNA and prot...

A Triazole Disulfide Compound Increases the Affinity of Hemoglobin for Oxygen and Reduces the Sickling of Human Sickle Cells

10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.8b00108

2018-04-18

Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin (Hb). During a sickle cell crisis, deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin (deoxyHbS) polymerizes to form fibers in red blood cells (RBCs), causing the cells to adopt “sickled” shapes. Using small molecules to...

CysLTR1 Blockage Ameliorates Liver Injury Caused by Aluminum-Overload via PI3K/AKT/mTOR-Mediated Autophagy Activation in Vivo and in Vitro

2018-04-11

Gene therapy is a promising strategy for curing certain types of brain diseases. Supplementation of therapeutic proteins such as aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) or nerve growth factor (NGF) have been reported to be successful examples of such treatme...

Reversal of Ovarian Cancer Multidrug Resistance by a Combination of LAH4-L1-siMDR1 Nanocomplexes with Chemotherapeutics

10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.8b00031

2018-04-11

The mortality of ovarian cancer stably ranks first in gynecological malignancies due to the lack of specific symptoms and diagnostic methods at an early stage. For most patients, the cancer cells had metastasized before they were diagnosed. As a result, 90% o...

One-Pot Synthesis of a Bismuth Selenide Hexagon Nanodish Complex for Multimodal Imaging-Guided Combined Antitumor Phototherapy

10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.8b00106

2018-04-09

For integrating therapy and diagnosis into a single nanoparticle for higher antitumor efficiency and lower toxicity, our group designed a smart theranostic nanoplatform based on a hyaluronic acid-doped polypyrrole-coated bismuth selenide loading with a zinc p...

Physical Stability and Dissolution Behavior of Ketoconazole–Organic Acid Coamorphous Systems

10.1021/acs.molpharmaceut.8b00035

2018-04-09

In an earlier investigation, coamorphous systems of ketoconazole (KTZ) prepared with each oxalic (OXA), tartaric (TAR), citric (CIT), and succinic (SUC) acid, revealed drug–acid ionic or hydrogen bonding interactions in the solid-state (Fung et al, Mol. Pharm...

Bioinspired Star-Shaped Poly(l-lysine) Polypeptides: Efficient Polymeric Nanocarriers for the Delivery of DNA to Mesenchymal Stem Cells
