The biological functions of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) in cancer [PDF]

Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal
Cancer is a metabolic disease marked by disruptions in lipid metabolism, which significantly influences tumor development. The synthesis and breakdown of lipids, governed by various enzymes, play a vital role in this process.

New Disulfiram Derivatives as MAGL-Selective Inhibitors [PDF]

Molecules, 2021
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key enzyme in the human endocannabinoid system. It is also the main enzyme responsible for the conversion of 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) to arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of prostaglandin synthesis.

Notoginsenoside R1, a Metabolite from Panax notoginseng, Prevents Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathic Pain in Mice [PDF]

Molecules
Development of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain (PINP) during chemotherapy may lead to paclitaxel discontinuation, potentially compromising effective anticancer therapy. PINP can manifest as allodynia.

Correlation Between In Silico Docking/Simulation Results and In Vitro MAGL Inhibition Potency of Selected Triterpenes [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) degrades the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonyl glycerol. MAGL inhibitors, such as the triterpene pristimerin, alleviate neuropathic pain in animal models.

Dualsteric Agonist for M2 Muscarinic Receptor Causes Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Alteration in Human Glioblastoma Cancer Stem Cells. [PDF]

J Neurochem
Dualsteric agonist N8‐iper shows cytotoxic effects on glioblastoma cancer stem cells, but not on human normal astrocytes. Lipid accumulation appears as a consequence of cytotoxic stress; in fact, they are not present in healthy astrocytes. ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GB) is the most malignant form of human brain tumor, characterized by heterogeneous cell ...

MAGL targeted PROTAC degrader simultaneously enhances P53 for synergistic treatment of glioblastoma stem cell [PDF]

Cell Death Discovery
Glioblastoma (GBM) stands as the most fatal brain tumor due to limited therapeutic options and high rates of drug resistance. Current surgical and pharmacological interventions usually fail to eradicate the aggressive GBM stem cells (GSCs), which leads ...

Inhibition of endocannabinoid hydrolases MAGL, FAAH and ABHD6 by AKU-005 reduces ex vivo cortical spreading depression [PDF]

The Journal of Headache and Pain
Background Migraine is a common neurovascular disorder that remains currently untreated in half of the patients. One third of migraine patients experience aura, which is associated with the development of cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), a wave ...
