Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related factor (NRF2) controls the expression of antioxidant genes. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) therapy degrades NRF2. Chitosan 501.1 kDa from snail shells contains bioactive chemicals that can induce NRF2 activity. Objective: To evaluate the potential antioxidant activity of the bioactive compound in Mw 501.1 kDa chitosan by targeting KEAP1 and NRF2 proteins in-silico. Method: The 3D structures of the bioactive compounds chitosan and control 51M were derived from the PubChem database, and the proteins were derived from the RCSB PDB. The biological activity of chitosan bioactive compounds was predicted using the PASS Online server. Molecular docking was performed using Hex 8.0.0 Cuda with Shape+Electro+DARS and visualised with Discovery Studio. The biological activity of chitosan compounds was predicted as lipotropic and antioxidant. Result: The discovery of the bioactive compound chitosan 501.1 kDa interacted strongly with KEAP1. The bioactive compound chitosan also inhibited KEAP1 through residues GLN75 and LEU84 at the 51M-KEAP1 interaction. Conclusion: The bioactive compound chitosan 501.1 kDa could inhibit the interaction of KEAP1-NRF2 proteins so that NRF2 could transcribe antioxidant genes. Therefore, may serve as a suitable alternative.","PeriodicalId":19944,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacy Education","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Articles were screened to match specified criteria and further studied. Result: Nine articles met the criteria and were then analysed. Studies were carried out in various countries. The study population include; the elderly (>65 years, three studies), age (≥15 years, three studies), patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) (≥18 years, one study) and two studies in cancer patients. The outcomes were; ADR (five studies), ADE ( two studies), DRPs (one study), and cardiovascular effects (one study). The methods for determining the predictors of ADRs all used multivariable logistic regression.

Objective: This study aimed to analyse the ethanolic extract of red ginger (EERG) in mice's arthritis model induced by Completed Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA). Method: Red ginger was extracted using ethanol 96%. Arthritis mice (n = 25) were injected with CFA i.p., and sham mice (n = 5) were injected with normal saline. On day seven, mice were divided into six groups: sham, CFA, gabapentin 100 mg/kg BW, and EERG (dose 200; 400; 600 mg/kg BW). Treatments were administered orally once a day for seven days. Latency time and plantar thickness were measured on days zero, one, three, five, seven, eight, ten, twelve, and fourteen. On day 15, the mice were sacrificed, and the blood and spinal cords were collected. The haematology profiles were determined. Result: The EERG significantly prolonged the latency time towards thermal stimulus and decreased plantar thickness in arthritis mice, the same as gabapentin which served as the control. The EERG also reduced the number of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils, and improved the morphology of the spinal cord's dorsal horn of arthritis mice. Conclusion: The EERG of 400 mg/kg BW significantly affects arthritis-induced hyperalgesia.","PeriodicalId":19944,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacy Education","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
