Kinetic and structural characterisation of domain‐specific angiotensin I‐converting enzyme inhibition by captopril, rentiapril and zofenoprilat

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) contains two catalytic domains (nACE and cACE) and is a key therapeutic target for hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Current ACE inhibitors (ACEi) nonselectively inhibit both domains, causing adverse effects. Selective inhibition requires an understanding of domain‐specific binding.

Bradykinin improves postischaemic recovery in the rat heart: role of high energy phosphates, nitric oxide, and prostacyclin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: The aim was to define: (1) whether bradykinin administration during reperfusion improves postischaemic myocardial recovery; (2) whether high energy phosphate compounds are involved in the protective effects of bradykinin; and (3) whether ...

New Hydrophilic Helixone Dialyzers as an Alternative for Hemodialysis Patients With Membrane Hypersensitivity Reactions: A Retrospective Single‐Cohort Study

open access: yesHemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Synthetic dialysis membranes, particularly those composed of polysulfone blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone, are commonly used in hemodialysis due to their efficiency. However, hypersensitivity reactions—often atypical and not fitting traditional type A and B classifications—have increasingly been reported.

Reducing Brain Edema Using Berotralstat, an Inhibitor of Bradykinin, Repurposed as Treatment Adjunct in Glioblastoma

open access: yesNeuroglia
Glioblastomas synthesize, bear receptors for, and respond to bradykinin, triggering migration and proliferation. Since centrifugal migration into uninvolved surrounding brain tissue occurs early in the course of glioblastoma, this attribute defeats local

SmSP2: A serine protease secreted by the blood fluke pathogen Schistosoma mansoni with anti-hemostatic properties. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BackgroundSerine proteases are important virulence factors for many pathogens. Recently, we discovered a group of trypsin-like serine proteases with domain organization unique to flatworm parasites and containing a thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR-1 ...

Bradykinin and adenosine receptors mediate desflurane induced postconditioning in human myocardium: role of reactive oxygen species

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2010
Background Desflurane during early reperfusion has been shown to postcondition human myocardium, in vitro. We investigated the role of adenosine and bradykinin receptors, and generation of radical oxygen species in desflurane-induced postconditioning in ...

Analgesic effects of platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF): A systematic review

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), a second‐generation autologous platelet concentrate, has gained significant interest for its anti‐inflammatory and regenerative characteristics. While its role in tissue healing is well‐recognized, the analgesic potential of PRF remains under‐investigated.

Purinergic mechanosensory transduction and visceral pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this review, evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that mechanosensory transduction occurs in tubes and sacs and can initiate visceral pain.
