The involvement of KYNA in various pathological conditions and during the aging process is significant. KYNA synthesis from L-kynurenine (L-KYN), through the action of several kynurenine aminotransferases (KATs), is present in the central nervous system (CNS) and periphery of mammals. We were interested in investigating the ability of the brain and peripheral organs of Helix pomatia snails to synthesize KYNA, in an in vitro study. In comparative studies between rat and snail, we looked for the synthesis of KYNA in the liver. We then looked for an effect of age on KYNA synthesis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Ten shell parameters of the Helix pomatia snail were used to establish an Age Rating Scale (ARS), i.e. body weight, shell weight, shell length, width and height, shell opening length and width, lip width, number of shell turns and external shell growth rings. An age of the snails was determined according to the ARS and the snails were divided into three groups, i.e. young, middle and old age. Homogenates of dissected regions, i.e. cerebral ganglia (CG), subpharyngeal ganglia (SG) consisting of pedal, visceral and pleural ganglia, heart and liver, were examined. KYNA was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and KAT activities were measured by an enzymatic method.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>With respect to ARS, an evaluation of the age of the snails between young (1-2 years), middle (5-7 years) and old (9-13 years) showed significant differences (p<0.001). Analysis of KYNA levels in different snail tissues, i.e. CG, SG, heart and liver, showed an occurrence in the low femtomolar range. Marked and significant increases of KYNA were found in the liver of middle and old age groups. In the SG, KYNA decreased significantly with age. There were no differences in KYNA levels between groups in CG and heart. The lowest KAT activity was found in CG and SG (5 pmol/mg/h), while in heart and liver the values were visibly higher (between 8 and 80 pmol/mg/h). Only in the liver, and exceptionally only for KAT I, the activity increased significantly with age, i.e. up to 14 years.

Methods: The present study aimed to analyze the possible targets: the different subunits of NOX, for their interactions with apocynin to identify its possible mechanism of inhibition for NOX, using in silico tools. Monomer, dimer, and trimer of apocynin were docked to various subunits of NOX. Results: Comparable glide scores were obtained when the monomer and dimer of apocynin were docked with p47phox complete subunit of NOX and were better than in comparison to trimer. Free Energy of Binding (FEB) was highest in the case of the trimer (-37.4 Kcal/mol), followed by the dimer (-21.2 Kcal/mol) and monomer (-18.2 Kcal/mol). Dimer obtained the highest glide score of 8.25 (FEB =-25.1 Kcal/mol) with p67phox-isoform 2. The PH domain of p47phox and the SH3 domain of p67phox have their own best binding energy with dimmer.
