Asp325Tyr missense variant) FARS2, gene phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, patient early-onset epilepsy isolated complex IV deficiency muscle....
Abstract Disorders of the mitochondrial genome cause a wide spectrum disease, these present mainly as neurological and/or muscle related pathologies. Due to intractability human there are currently no effective treatments for disorders. The majority pathogenic mutations lie in genes encoding tRNA s. Consequently, biochemical deficiency is due protein synthesis defects, which manifest aberrant cellular respiration and ATP synthesis. It has previously been reported that overexpression...
Natural products, medicinal plants, and phytoconstituents serve as important sources accelerators for anticancer drug discovery, especially when they are combined with virtual screening molecular simulations against targets.

Methodology: A...
Sepsis results from a major systemic inflammatory response and can induce disorders in multiple organs. The present study evaluated the potential protective effects of oleuropein (OLE) against hyperinflammatory responses during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis mice. Sixty male Balb/c mice were randomly categorized into five groups 12 animals each: control, intraperitoneally injected with OLE (50 mg/kg), LPS (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal), two administered (25 50 mg/kg) for 3 days prior...
Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3β), a serine/threonine protein kinase, has been discovered as novel target for anticancer drugs. Although GSK3β is involved in multiple pathways linked to the etiology of various cancers, no specific inhibitor authorized cancer therapy. Most its inhibitors have toxicity effects therefore, there need develop safe and more potent inhibitors. In this study, library 4,222 anti-cancer compounds underwent rigorous computational screening identify potential...
Parthenium hysterophorus L. is a poisonous Asteraceae weed. The phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, total phenolic contents (TPC), flavonoid (TFC), and cytotoxicity of flower extract were evaluated in this study, the toxic effects assessed rabbits. HPLC-DAD system was used for analysis. hemolytic DPPH assays performed. orally administering crude to rabbits (n = 5) at four different doses (10, 20, 40, 80 mg/kg) ten days on hematological biochemical parameters investigated. contained...
Purpose: Helicobacter pylori is one of the most prevalent human pathogens worldwide. However, outcomes H. infection are markedly variable from asymptomatic mild lesion to malignant transformation. Many factors suggested influence these outcomes, including host immunity and genetic susceptibility. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) can recognise different microbial components play an essential role in mucosal immune response against infection. Materials Methods: The association between common single...
