Mixed lineage kinase domain–like pseudokinase (MLKL) initiates necroptosis and could serve as a therapeutic target related to series of human diseases. Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are useful tools for degrading pathological proteins blocking disease processes. Using computer-aided modeling molecular dynamics simulations, we developed covalent MLKL PROTACs by linking optimizing theophylline derivative that covalently targets MLKL. Via structure–activity relationship studies,...
Liver injury is often associated with hepatic retinopathy, resulting from accumulation of retinal toxins due to blood–retinal barrier (BRB) dysfunction. Retinal pigment epithelium highly expresses MRP1/Mrp1. We aimed investigate whether liver affects the function and expression Mrp1 using bile duct ligation (BDL) rats. distributions fluorescein 2,4-dinitrophenyl-S-glutathione were used for assessing function. BDL significantly increased two substrates bilirubin, downregulated protein,...
Aim: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) induces remote organs injury, including the brain. The homeostasis of brain is maintained by blood-brain barrier (BBB); thus, we aimed to investigate whether HIR impaired BBB and attempted elucidate its underlying mechanism. Methods: Cell viability human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) was measured following 24 h incubation with a serum rat undergoing 1 ischemia 4 reperfusion, liver homogenate, or lysate primary hepatocytes rat....
Polypharmacological drugs are of great value for treating complex human diseases by the combinative modulation several biological targets. However, multitarget drug design with more than two targets is challenging and generally discovered serendipity. Herein, a restricted fragment docking (RFD) computational method combined phenotypic discovery approach was developed rational polypharmacological design. Via genetic combination studies in microglial phenotype, we first identified novel...
The lethality of torsades de pointes (TdP) by drugs is one main reasons that some were withdrawn from the market. In order to assess drug-induced TdP risks, a model cardiac ionic current suppression in human ventricular myocytes (ToR-ORd model), combined with maximum effective free therapeutic plasma concentration or myocyte was often used, latter proved be more relevant and accurate. We aimed develop whole-body physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model, incorporated cardiomyocyte...
