1. Molecular Modeling and Chemical Synthesis of New Safrol Oxime Ether Derivatives
Leishmaniasis, a neglected tropical disease with a high worldwide incidence, is considered a public health issue in Minas Gerais and Brazil, with a high degree of morbidity, not to mention the lack of therapeutic arsenal. The cysteine protease (rCPB2.8) and cyclin dependent kinase (CRK3), important enzymes for the parasite’s feasibility, were the targets c

2. Blood mRNA Expression Profiles of Autophagy, Apoptosis, and Hypoxia Markers on Blood Cardioplegia and Custodiol Cardioplegia Groups
Abstract Introduction: Blood cardioplegia (BC) and Custodiol cardioplegia (CC) have been used for a long time in open heart surgery and are highly effective solutions. The most controversial issue among these two is whether there is any difference between them regarding myocardial damage after ischemia surgery. In this study, autophagy, apoptosis, and hypox

3. OTIMIZAÇÃO E VALIDAÇÃO DE MÉTODO ENZIMÁTICO SEMIQUANTITATIVO SIMPLES E DE BAIXO CUSTO PARA A BUSCA DE INIBIDORES DE CISTEINO PROTEASES
Cysteine proteases are an important class of enzymes involved in several essential biological processes. For this reason, these enzymes are important therapeutic targets, and therefore can be used in enzymatic assays for the search of hits. The most widely used methods in the search of enzyme inhibitors are spectrophotometric, however they have relatively hi

4. Agradecimentos aos Pareceristas ad hoc do volume 18 (ano 2020)
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Chagas disease (CD), whose etiological agent is the Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) parasite, affects about eight million people, mainly in Latin America. The cruzain enzyme is highlighted among the main biological targets, since it is the most abundant of the cysteine protease class from T. cruzi and is involve

6. New Synthetic Quinolines as Cathepsin K Inhibitors
Cathepsin K is a papain-like cysteine protease and is responsible for collagen degradation in bone tissue and thus represents an important target for the development of new therapies for treating diseases such as osteoporosis. Quinolines are an important class of heterocyclic molecular leads with a great pharmacological potential and represent a relevant sca

7. Reactivity of sera from dogs living in a leishmaniasis-endemic area to the COOH-terminal region of cysteine proteinase B
ABSTRACT Cysteine proteinases are well-known virulence factors of Leishmania spp. with demonstrated actions in both experimental mouse infection and human infection. However, studies on these enzymes in canine leishmaniasis are scarce. Here, we show, for the first time, the reactivity of sera from dogs living in an endemic area to a recombinant protein from

8. Ortho-nitrobenzyl derivatives as potential anti-schistosomal agents
ABSTRACT In the search for new anti-schistosomal agents, a series of fifteen ortho-nitrobenzyl derivatives was assayed in vitro against both the schistosomulum (somule) and adult forms of Schistosoma mansoni. Compounds 8 and 12 showed significant activity against somules at low micromolar concentrations, but none was active against adults. The SAR demonstrat

9. Immobilization of the Magnetic Nanoparticles with Alkaline Protease Enzyme Produced by Enterococcus hirae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Dairy Effluents
ABSTRACT Protease is an enzyme which has a wide range of applications in various fields. Extracellular protease was produced from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus hirae which were isolated from the effluents of diary industries. Protease immobilized with super paramagnetic nanoparticles was characterized by DLS, XRD and TEM methods in relation to thei

10. An in silico Study of Benzophenone Derivatives as Potential Non-Competitive Inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania Amazonensis Cysteine Proteinases
This study investigates the mechanisms of interaction between benzophenone derivatives and cruzain and Llacys1 (the protein expressed by cysteine protease gene isoform 1 of L. amazonensis) by homology modelling, docking and molecular dynamics simulation. The results predict that the same binding site in cruzain and Llacys1 is involved in complexes with benzo

11. Odanacatib Inhibits Resistin-induced Hypertrophic H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Cells Through LKB1/AMPK Pathway
ABSTRACT Odanacatib (ODN) is a selective inhibitor of cathepsin K. The cysteine protease cathepsin K has been implicated in cardiac hypertrophy. Resistine is an adipokine which is identified to promote cardiac hypertrophy. Here, we hypothesize that ODN mitigates resistin-induced myocyte hypertrophy. Cell surface area and protein synthesis were measured after

12. Plant senescence and proteolysis: two processes with one destiny
Abstract Senescence-associated proteolysis in plants is a complex and controlled process, essential for mobilization of nutrients from old or stressed tissues, mainly leaves, to growing or sink organs. Protein breakdown in senescing leaves involves many plastidial and nuclear proteases, regulators, different subcellular locations and dynamic protein traffic
