ABSTRACT Benzoxazinoids are secondary metabolites produced in monocotyledons and some dicotyledons from the Acanthaceae, Ranunculaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Plantaginaceae, and Lamiaceae families. Benzoxazinoids are commonly consumed in bread and cereal products that have been ingested for decades, which supports the safe use of benzoxazinoids as food ...

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...
