Ligand‑Based Virtual Screening Discovery of Thienopyrimidinone Derivatives as Allosteric nSMase2 Modulators and Antivirals Against West Nile Virus. [PDF]
Ligand‐based virtual screening of over five million compounds identifies a thienopyrimidinone hit as a novel allosteric nSMase2 modulator. Structure‐guided optimisation improves inhibitory potency and delivers derivatives with antiviral activity against West Nile virus, expanding the chemical space of nSMase2 inhibitors and supporting host‐directed ...

Adults With Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency Have Sustained Improvements in Clinical Outcomes With up to 5 Years of Olipudase Alfa Enzyme Replacement Therapy: ASCEND Trial Final Results. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare debilitating lysosomal storage disease resulting in multisystemic disease manifestations, significant disease burden, and early mortality for some individuals. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with olipudase alfa (Xenpozyme) is the first disease‐specific treatment indicated for noncentral ...

High cholesterol absorption efficiency enhances proatherogenic properties of low-density lipoprotein particles. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims High cholesterol absorption efficiency is determined by genetic variation in small intestinal sterol transporters and affects one‐third of individuals. Their risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increased compared with low cholesterol absorbers, despite similar serum lipid concentrations.

Acid sphingomyelinase expression is associated with survival in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Unfortunately, the prognosis of PDAC is rather poor, and for instance, in the USA, over 47,000 people die because of pancreatic cancer annually.

Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency Ameliorates Farber Disease [PDF]
Farber disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder resulting from acid ceramidase deficiency and subsequent ceramide accumulation. No treatments for Farber disease are clinically available, and affected patients have a severely shortened lifespan.
