ROG1 encodes a monoacylglycerol lipase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2015 Lipid metabolism is extensively studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we report that revertant of glycogen synthase kinase mutation-1 (Rog1p) possesses monoacylglycerol (MAG) lipase activity in S. cerevisiae.

Biodiesel Production from Hevea brasiliensis Seeds: A Systematic Review
Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Hevea brasiliensis (HB) species, also called the rubber tree, is currently cultivated worldwide for the extraction of latex, an input for rubber production. In addition, its seeds currently have few productive applications, despite their high oil content.

Discovery of Selective Small Molecule Inhibitors of Monoacylglycerol Acyltransferase 3
, 2015 Inhibition of triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthetic enzymes has been suggested as a promising strategy to treat insulin resistance, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hepatic steatosis. Monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 3 (MGAT3) is an integral membrane enzyme that

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Optimization of a Benzoylpiperidine Class Identifies a Highly Potent and Selective Reversible Monoacylglycerol Lipase (MAGL) Inhibitor [PDF]
, 2019 Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the enzyme degrading the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and it is involved in several physiological and pathological processes.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Identification of lipases with activity towards monoacylglycerol by criterion of conserved cap architectures [PDF]
Monoacylglycerol lipases (MGL) are a subclass of lipases that predominantly hydrolyze monoacylglycerol (MG) into glycerol and fatty acid. MGLs are ubiquitous enzymes across species and play a role in lipid metabolism, affecting energy homeostasis and ...

Covalent fluorescent probes for 2‐arachidonoylglycerol metabolic pathways
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Covalent fluorescent probes have emerged as versatile chemical tools to visualise active enzymes in complex biological systems. When tailored for specific applications, ranging from activity‐based protein profiling for drug development to high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of enzymatic activities, these probes provide unique insights into ...
