In silico ADMET and molecular docking study on searching potential inhibitors from limonoids and triterpenoids for COVID-19 [PDF]
, 2020 Virtual screening of phytochemicals was performed through molecular docking, simulation, in silico ADMET and drug-likeness prediction to identify the potential hits that can inhibit the effects of SARS-CoV-2. Considering the published literature on medicinal importance, total 154 phytochemicals with analogous structure from limonoids and triterpenoids ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), while holistic and historically esteemed, faces challenges in “miracle cures” due to slow onset, long cycles, and difficulty controlling quality. This study obtains the active ingredients, glabridin (GLA) and puerarin (PUE), from Ge‐Gen Decoction (GGD), developing a safe and effective drug delivery system, GLA‐PUE ...

Modeling the molecular impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the renin-angiotensin system [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection is mediated by the binding of its spike protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which plays a pivotal role in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The study of RAS dysregulation due to SARS-CoV-2 infection is fundamentally important for a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms and risk factors ...

On the Origin of Urinary Angiotensin II [PDF]
Hypertension, 2010 To the Editor: With great interest we read the publication by Shao et al,1 who propose that angiotensin (Ang) II type 1 (AT1) receptor stimulation in the kidney results in urinary Ang II excretion. The authors have used an elegant approach, infusing rats with Val5-Ang II to allow a clear distinction from endogenous Ile5-Ang II, here denoted as Ang II.

HNF3α Targets Nckap1l and Promotes Renal Fibrosis Following Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3 alpha (HNF3α) is significantly upregulated in renal tubular epithelial cells of CKD patients and fibrotic mice. Deletion of HNF3α mitigates IRI‐induced renal fibrosis, while overexpression worsens it. HNF3α directly regulates NCK‐associated protein 1‐like (Nckap1l), whose overexpression exacerbates fibrosis.

Hypertension regulating angiotensin peptides in the pathobiology of cardiovascular disease
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2018 Renin angiotensin system (RAS) is an endogenous hormone system involved in the control of blood pressure and fluid volume. Dysregulation of RAS has a pathological role in causing cardiovascular diseases through hypertension.

A computational insight of the improved nicotine binding with ACE2-SARS-CoV-2 complex with its clinical impact [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Smokers being witnessed with the mild adverse clinical symptoms of SARS-CoV-2, the in-silico study is intended to explore the effect of nicotine binding to the soluble angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE2) receptor with or without SARS-CoV-2 binding.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.
