Angiotensin II cyclic analogs as tools to investigate AT1R biased signaling mechanisms [PDF]
St-Pierre D, et al. (2018), Biochem Pharmacol. 154:104-17, 2019 G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) produce pleiotropic effects by their capacity to engage numerous signaling pathways once activated. Functional selectivity (also called biased signaling), where specific compounds can bring GPCRs to adopt conformations that enable selective receptor coupling to distinct signaling pathways, continues to be ...

Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 513-531, December 2022., 2022 The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019 Background Previous studies demonstrated that angiotensin (Ang) III, not Ang II, is the predominant endogenous agonist for Ang type‐2 receptor (AT2R)‐induced natriuresis in normal rats, and that hypertensive 12‐week‐old spontaneously hypertensive rats ...

Tetracycline as an inhibitor to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]
J Cell Biochem (2021) 1-8, 2020 The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 remains an extant threat against public health on a global scale. Cell infection begins when the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 binds with the cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we address the role of Tetracycline as an inhibitor for the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein.

Label-free cell signaling pathway deconvolution of Angiotensin type 1 receptor reveals time-resolved G-protein activity and distinct AngII and AngIII\IV responses [PDF]
Pharmacol Res, 136:108-20 (2018), 2019 Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor known for its role in numerous physiological processes and its implication in many vascular diseases. Its functions are mediated through G protein dependent and independent signaling pathways. AT1R has several endogenous peptidic agonists, all derived from angiotensinogen, as

Grace periods in comparative effectiveness studies of sustained treatments [PDF]
, 2022 Researchers are often interested in estimating the effect of sustained use of a treatment on a health outcome. However, adherence to strict treatment protocols can be challenging for individuals in practice and, when non-adherence is expected, estimates of the effect of sustained use may not be useful for decision making.

BC‐11 is a covalent TMPRSS2 fragment inhibitor that impedes SARS‐CoV‐2 host cell entry
Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 356, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Drug repurposing has the potential to accelerate the discovery of TMPRSS2 inhibitors acting as COVID‐19 antivirals. In this regard, a low throughput screening led to the identification of BC‐11 as a covalent TMPRSS2 fragment inhibitor (IC50 = 1.44 µM), displaying significant SARS‐CoV‐2 entry inhibition (EC50 = 66 µM). Abstract Host cell entry of severe

Is Covid-19 severity associated with ACE2 degradation? [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Covid-19 is particularly mild with children, and its severity escalates with age. Several theories have been proposed to explain these facts. In particular, it was proposed that the lower expression of the viral receptor ACE2 in children protects them from severe Covid.
