Cellular analysis of the action of epigenetics drugs and probes [PDF]
Small molecule drugs and probes are important tools in drug discovery, pharmacology, and cell biology. This is of course also true for epigenetic inhibitors.

Characterization of xanthine oxidase inhibition by anacardic acids
Anacardic acid, 6[8(Z), 11(Z), 14-pentadecatrienyl]salicylic acid, inhibits generation of superoxide radicals by xanthine oxidase. This inhibition does not follow a hyperbolic inhibition, depends on anacardic acid concentrations, but follows a sigmoidal inhibition. The inhibition was analyzed by using a Hill equation, and slope factor and EC(50) were 4.

Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.

ABSTRACT Objectives Tooth erosion is the nonbacterial and irreversible pathological dissolution of enamel and dentin, and is primarily influenced by lifestyle. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the preventive and therapeutic effects of plant‐derived compounds on tooth erosion using evidence from in vitro and in situ studies ...

Evaluation of Lipoxygenase Inhibitory Activity of Anacardic Acids
6-Alkylsalicylic acids inhibit the linoleic acid peroxidation catalyzed by soybean lipoxygenase- 1 (EC 1.13.11.12, type 1) competitively and without pro-oxidant effects. This activity is largely dependent on the nature of their alkyl side chains. Inhibitory activities of anacardic acids, viz.

Uric Acid‐Lowering and Anti‐Hyperuricemia Effects of Plant‐Based Nutraceuticals and Foods: A Review
Increased UA production and/or decreased UA secretion cause hyperuricemia. Effects and mechanism of flavonoids in reducing UA are summarized. Terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, vitamin C, polysaccharides, peptides are effective. Plant‐based foods with UA‐lowering ability are reviewed.

Inhibition of protein SUMOylation has been shown to block tumorigenesis; however, the specific mechanisms by which SUMOylation controls the tumor‐initiating capacities remain elusive. Li et al. describe the role of Etv1 SUMOylation in cancer stem cells using mouse models of mammary gland tumorigenesis.
