Human carboxylesterases: a comprehensive review

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2018
Mammalian carboxylesterases (CEs) are key enzymes from the serine hydrolase superfamily. In the human body, two predominant carboxylesterases (CES1 and CES2) have been identified and extensively studied over the past decade. These two enzymes play crucial roles in the metabolism of a wide variety of endogenous esters, ester-containing drugs and ...

Crystal structure and biochemical analysis of the polyester‐degrading carboxylesterase SM0281 from the symbiotic legume‐associated rhizobacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The microbial degradation of synthetic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is mediated by diverse α/β‐hydrolases, many of which remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the α/β‐hydrolase SM0281 from Sinorhizobium meliloti and found that it exhibits robust carboxylesterase and polyesterase activities toward PET, PCL ...

Toxicology and Biodistribution Studies for MGH2.1, an Oncolytic Virus that Expresses Two Prodrug-activating Genes, in Combination with Prodrugs

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2013
MGH2.1 is a herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) oncolytic virus that expresses two prodrug-activating transgenes: the cyclophosphamide (CPA)-activating cytochrome P4502B1 (CYP2B1) and the CPT11-activating secreted human intestinal carboxylesterase (shiCE).

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Update on Sedation for Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy in Japan: Current Evidence on Remimazolam

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Sedation is an essential component of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy because it reduces patient discomfort and anxiety while improving patient acceptance and procedural quality. In Japan, benzodiazepines such as midazolam and opioid analgesics have long been widely used in routine clinical practice; however, many of these agents historically

Practical Considerations for the Design, Conduct, and Reporting of Clinical Pharmacokinetic Drug–Drug Interaction Studies in Drug Development

The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 66, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Clinical pharmacokinetic drug–drug interaction (PK‐DDI) studies are frequently required in drug development when metabolizing enzymes and transporters determine pharmacokinetics. Drugs can be victims, perpetrators, or victims and perpetrators, of PK‐DDIs, so the clinical consequences of these interactions, particularly the risks of severe ...

Identification of resistant carboxylesterase alleles in Culex pipiens complex via PCR-RFLP

, 2012
Background Carboxylesterase overproduction is a frequently observed resistance mechanism of insects to organophosphate insecticides. As a major transmitter of human diseases, mosquitoes in the Culex pipiens complex have evolved 13 carboxylesterase ...
