The mechanisms of calcium homeostasis and signalling in the lens [PDF]
Excessive Ca2+ can be detrimental to cells and raised levels of Ca2+ in human lenses with cortical cataract have been found to play a major role in the opacification process.

Expedient Discovery of a Metallaphotoredox Cyanomethylation for Synthesizing α‐Aryl Nitriles
A metallaphotoredox cyanomethylation reaction has been developed for the synthesis of valuable α‐aryl nitrile intermediates. The methodology was successfully applied to diverse medicinally‐relevant substrates, providing an expedient route to anti‐cancer Senexin compounds, while also removing the need for toxic cyanide reagents. The mechanism was probed

CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 contribute to clopidogrel bioactivation. CYP2C19 no‐function alleles diminish clopidogrel's antiplatelet effects and clinical effectiveness. Coadministration of either a CYP2C19 or a CYP3A4 inhibitor may also reduce clopidogrel's antiplatelet effects and lead to phenoconversion in patients without a CYP2C19 no‐function allele (normal/

The Trypanosoma cruzi enzyme TcGPXI is a glycosomal peroxidase and can be linked to trypanothione reduction by glutathione or tryparedoxin. [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi glutathione-dependent peroxidase I (TcGPXI) can reduce fatty acid, phospholipid, and short chain organic hydroperoxides utilizing a novel redox cycle in which enzyme activity is linked to the reduction of trypanothione, a parasite ...

Therapeutic role of nifedipine in threatened preterm labor: Current evidence and future perspectives
Abstract Preterm birth occurs in approximately 10% of all pregnancies, and is not only the leading cause of neonatal mortality but also a major contributor to short‐ and long‐term morbidities due to immaturity. Preterm birth has also been linked to an increased risk of maternal cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, making it a critical concern ...

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Direct Monitoring of Verapamil Level in Exhaled Breath Condensate Samples [PDF]
Background: In this research, an enhanced fluorimetric assay was developed for the direct monitoring of verapamil in exhaled breath condensate (EBC). The method is based on a binding–induced rigidity inside the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle which ...

Parathyroid Hormone Enhances Mechanically Induced Bone Formation, Possibly Involving L-Type Voltage- Sensitive Calcium Channels [PDF]
PTH and mechanical loading might act synergistically on bone formation. We tested the in vivo effect of the L-type voltage-sensitive calcium channel (VSCC) blocker, verapamil, on bone formation induced by human PTH-(1–34) (PTH) injection with or without ...
