Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Age-Dependent Human Hepatic Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) and Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) Postnatal Ontogeny [PDF]

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2016
Human hepatic carboxylesterase 1 and 2 (CES1 and CES2) are important for the disposition of ester- and amide-bond-containing pharmaceuticals and environmental chemicals. CES1 and CES2 ontogeny has not been well characterized, causing difficulty in addressing concerns regarding juvenile sensitivity to adverse outcomes associated with exposure to certain

Integrating Human Intestinal Organoids into FDA'S New Approach Methodologies for Drug Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Illustration summarizes how human intestinal organoids (HIOs) are becoming transformative in preclinical research. Preclinical drug discovery pipelines often rely on animal models for ADMET studies, even though interspecies ADME gaps, poor external validity, and high attrition rates are common.

Molecular Profiling of Genes Associated With Methylphenidate Pathway Therapy and Discovery of New Variants in Amazonian Amerindian Populations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), methylphenidate is one of the most widely used drugs, in which patient response significantly impacts prognosis. This study aimed to characterize the molecular profile of 10 genes associated with methylphenidate therapy.

Modulation of paraoxonase 1 and 3 expression after moderate exercise training in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
Paraoxonases (PONs) are a small family of antioxidant enzymes whose antiatherogenic activity is well known. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of moderate aerobic training on their expression using a rat model.

A genomic amplification affecting a carboxylesterase gene cluster confers organophosphate resistance in the mosquito Aedes aegypti: From genomic characterization to high‐throughput field detection

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
By altering gene expression and creating paralogs, genomic amplifications represent a key component of short‐term adaptive processes. In insects, the use of insecticides can select gene amplifications causing an increased expression of detoxification ...

Effect of enzalutamide on anticoagulant therapy with edoxaban in patients with prostate cancer

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Treatment with enzalutamide in prostate cancer is challenging due to its high potential for drug–drug interactions, particularly in the typically older population of patients with frequent comorbidities treated with multiple drugs, such as anticoagulants.

Identification, Characterization, and Preliminary X-ray Diffraction Analysis of a Novel Esterase (ScEst) from Staphylococcus chromogenes

Crystals, 2022
Ester prodrugs can develop novel antibiotics and have potential therapeutic applications against multiple drug-resistant bacteria. The antimicrobial activity of these prodrugs is activated after being cleaved by the esterases produced by the pathogen ...

Cannabinoids and drug–drug pharmacokinetic interactions: Deciphering the risks

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The relationship between cannabinoids and mental health has become a major focus of scientific inquiry and public discourse. Cannabinoids are diverse chemical compounds from the Cannabis species that have been explored for their therapeutic applications in treating chronic pain, psychiatric and neurological conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia,

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila

BMC Biology, 2012
Background Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to 'odor on', but also to 'odor off'. This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.
