The harmful consequences of excessive lipid accumulation in cardiomyocytes cause cardiac lipotoxicity, which alters the structure and function of the heart. Obesity and diabetes are linked to lipotoxic cardiomyopathy. These anomalies might be caused by a harmful metabolic shift that accumulates toxic lipids and shifts glucose oxidation to less fatty acid oxidation. Research has linked fatty acids, fatty acyl coenzyme A, diacylglycerol, and ceramide to lipotoxic stress in cells. This stress can be brought on by apoptosis, impaired insulin signaling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, protein kinase C activation, p38 Ras-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, or modification of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) family members. Curcuma longa is used to extract curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol derivative with a variety of pharmacological characteristics. Throughout the years, curcumin has been utilized as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity drug. Curcumin reduces cardiac lipotoxicity by inhibiting apoptosis and decreasing the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, reducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines, activating the autophagy signaling pathway, and inhibiting the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress marker proteins.</p>","PeriodicalId":16960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"1269-1283"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142046816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we sought to examine the impact of PNU120596 on the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in the context of ALI. Methods ALI was induced in mice by LPS administration, and the protective effects of PNU120596 were assessed. Lung injury, lung function, and the inflammatory response were evaluated. Additionally, the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was examined, along with the levels of inflammatory factors and oxidative stress markers. Key findings PNU120596 significantly ameliorated LPS-induced lung injury, improved lung function, and reduced the inflammatory response in the mouse model of ALI.

Methods Three uncharged compounds (griseofulvin, AZ’72, and AZ’07) with varying aqueous solubility were dosed to mice at 10 and 50 mg/kg as nano- and microparticle formulations. The PK of the compounds was evaluated. Key Findings The smaller particles of the drugs resulted in higher maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration–time profile (AUC) at 50 mg/kg. There was a dose-proportional increase in AUC but less than dose dose-proportional increase in Cmax. The evaluation at 10 mg/kg was more complex as increased exposure for nanoparticles was only observed for griseofulvin which has the highest solubility. In addition, there was an increase in half-life with an increase in dose. Conclusions This study highlights that general expectations based on in vitro dissolution (i.e. that smaller particles dissolve faster than larger particles when surrounded by liquid) do not always translate to in vivo and demonstrates the importance of understanding the physicochemical properties of the drug, the characteristics of the formulations and the microphysiology at the delivery site.","PeriodicalId":16960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology","volume":"200 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142269722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HIF-1α may regulate estrogen receptor β (ERβ) and promote the progression of NSCLC. The phytochemical homoharringtonine (HHT) exerts strong inhibitory potency on NSCLC, with molecular mechanism under hypoxia being elusive. Methods The effects of HHT on NSCLC growth were determined by cell viability assay, colony formation, flow cytometry, and H460 xenograft models. Western blotting, molecular docking program, site-directed mutagenesis assay, immunohistochemical assay, and immunofluorescence assay were performed to explore the underlying mechanisms of HHT-induced growth inhibition in NSCLC. Key findings HIF-1α/ERβ signaling-related E2F1 is highly expressed and contributes to unfavorable survival and tumor growth. The findings in hypoxic cells, HIF-1α overexpressing cells, as well as ERβ- or E2F1-overexpressed and knockdown cells suggest that the HIF-1α/ERβ/E2F1 feedforward loop promotes NSCLC cell growth. HHT suppresses HIF-1α/ERβ/E2F1 signaling via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, which is dependent on the inhibition of the protein expression of HIF-1α and ERβ. Molecular docking and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that HHT binds to the GLU305 site of ERβ. HHT inhibits cell proliferation and colony formation and promotes apoptosis in both NSCLC cells and xenograft models. Conclusion The formation of the HIF-1α/ERβ/E2F1 feedforward loop promotes NSCLC growth and reveals a novel molecular mechanism by which HHT induces cell death in NSCLC.","PeriodicalId":16960,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology","volume":"176 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the potential regulatory effects of Chaihu Shugan San (CSS) on liver lipid metabolism and inflammatory damage in mice with experimental nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD). Utilizing network pharmacology, we systematically explore the mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential of CSS against NASH. Methods Potential targets in CSS and targets for NASH were identified using online databases. Functional enrichment and protein–protein interaction analyses were conducted to identify hub-targeted genes and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. The affinities of active compounds in CSS with hub-targeted genes were evaluated using molecular docking. Finally, hub-targeted genes were validated through real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, and immunofluorescence in choline-deficient high-fat diet mice, both with and without CSS treatment. Key findings CSS reduces serum ALT and AST levels in NASH mice(P &lt; 0.05) and ameliorates ballooning degeneration in the livers of NASH mice, thereby lowering the NAS score(P &lt; 0.05). Including naringenin, high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometrys identified 12 chromatographic peaks. Based on network pharmacology analysis, CSS contains a total of 103 active compounds and 877 target genes. Transferase activity represents a potential mechanism for therapeutic intervention of CSS in NASH. The transcriptional levels and protein expression of the SIRT1 gene in NASH mice are significantly increased by CSS (P &lt; 0.05).
