Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis: Plant‐Based Therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of brain‐gut interaction that presents with abdominal pain, bloating associated with variable stool consistency. Many IBS patients prefer plant‐based preparations to pharmacological therapy; however, the utility of this approach is not well established.

Novel anti-neuroinflammatory pyranone-carbamate derivatives as selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors for treating Alzheimer’s disease

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry
Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) and neuroinflammation have recently emerged as promising therapeutic directions for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Herein, we synthesised 19 novel pyranone-carbamate derivatives and evaluated their activities against ...

Psychedelic‐assisted treatment for substance use disorder: A narrative systematic review

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims This is the first systematic review of the extant literature on all major psychedelic‐assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder (AUD), tobacco use disorder (TUD) and other substance use disorders (SUD). We aimed to summarise the evidence for efficacy of psychedelic‐assisted treatment for AUD, TUD, and SUD; to evaluate its

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Muscarinic agonists for schizophrenia: Bridging preclinical evidence and clinical enthusiasm

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Antipsychotic drugs targeting dopamine receptors have been used to treat schizophrenia for decades, primarily alleviating positive symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. However, they provide limited benefit for cognitive and negative symptoms—major contributors to poor outcomes—and are frequently associated with significant side ...

Is sleep affected after microgravity and hypergravity exposure? A pilot study

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Sleep is known to be affected in space travel and in residents of the international space station. But little is known about the direct effects of gravity changes on sleep, if other factors, such as sleep conditions, are kept constant. Here, as a first exploration, we investigated sleep before and after exposure to short bouts of microgravity ...

Knocking Out Two Polyphenol Oxidase Genes Significantly Improves Recombinant Protein Purification in Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient purification remains a key technical challenge affecting the recovery efficiency of recombinant proteins in plant‐based systems. Complex metabolites, particularly polyphenols, often cause recombinant protein aggregation during purification.

Time to Confirmed Completion of Bowel Preparation as a Preprocedural Indicator of Colonoscope Insertion Difficulty: A Prospective Observational Study

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Runway time, defined as the interval between completion of polyethylene glycol ingestion and the start of colonoscopy, has been studied as a determinant of bowel cleansing quality. However, whether the bowel preparation course itself is associated with colonoscope insertion difficulty remains unclear.

Molecular descriptor driven QSPR modeling of Papp, TEER and Efflux Ratio from Caco‐2 cells using machine learning for various phytochemicals

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 11, Page 6606-6616, 30 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study aimed to develop and validate quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models for predicting permeability related bioavailability indicators including apparent permeability (Papp), trans‐epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and efflux ratio (ER) based on molecular descriptors (n = 5003) of 83 ...

Effects of Paeoniflorin Derivatives on Scopolamine-Induced Amnesia Using a Passive Avoidance Task in Mice; Structure-Activity Relationship.

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 1998
Paeoniflorin (1) and its derivatives having in common a cage-like pinane skeleton with hemiketal-acetal system, were evaluated for their effects on memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice using a step-down type passive avoidance task. In the test session, 1 and its derivatives were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered at doses of 0.002, 0.01,
