Mitochondrial targeting of cyclosporin A enables selective inhibition of cyclophilin-D and enhanced cytoprotection after glucose and oxygen deprivation [PDF]
CsA (cyclosporin A) is a hydrophobic undecapeptide that inhibits CyPs (cyclophilins), a family of PPIases (peptidylprolyl cis–trans isomerases). In some experimental models, CsA offers partial protection against lethal cell injury brought about by ...

Diffusion in the Presence of Cells with Semi-permeable Membranes [PDF]
We consider processes that coincide with a given diffusion process except on the boundaries of a finite collection of domains. The behavior on each of the boundaries is asymmetric: the process is much more likely to enter the interior of the domain than to enter the interior of its complement, with a small parameter controlling the trapping mechanism ...

Background/Aims: Acetaminophen (APAP) effects on intestinal barrier properties are less investigated. APAP may lead to a changed bioavailability of a subsequently administered drug or diet in the body. We investigated the influence of APAP on enterocytic

Continuous wave irradiation at 0.1 terahertz facilitates transmembrane transport of small molecules
Summary: The bioeffects of terahertz (THz) radiation received growing attention because of its influence on the interactions between biomolecules. Our work aimed to investigate the effects of THz irradiation on cell membrane, especially cell membrane ...

Decision trees to characterise the roles of permeability and solubility on the prediction of oral absorption. [PDF]
Oral absorption depends on many physiological, physiochemical and formulation factors. Two important properties that govern oral absorption are in vitro permeability and solubility, which are commonly used as indicators of human intestinal absorption ...

Effect of proanthocyanidins on cell membrane properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
In order to investigate the action mechanism of proanthocyanidins from the perspective of cell membrane, the effects of 0.5 g/L and 1.0 g/L proanthocyanidins on the characteristics of the cell membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied.

Sphingosine Increases the Permeability of Model and Cell Membranes [PDF]
Sphingosine, at 5-15 mol % total lipids, remarkably increases the permeability to aqueous solutes of liposomal and erythrocyte ghost membranes. The increased permeability cannot be interpreted in terms of leakage occurring at the early stages of a putative membrane solubilization by sphingosine, nor is it due to a sphingosine-induced generation of ...
