Porphyrinuria in Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Nov 29. doi: 10.2174/0109298673259183231117073347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNumerous studies demonstrated that the number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased remarkably in the past decade. A portion of ASD etiology, however, is attributed to environmental issues and genetic disorders. We highlighted a scoping review to principally evaluate the current information on mercury exposure in ASD children and to reveal knowledge gaps. Elevated porphyrins concentration in the urinary system related to mercury exposure, such as precoproporphyrin (prcP), coproporphyrin (cP), and pen...

Inflammation and Stem Cell Stochasticity of HPV-induced Cervical Cancer: Epigenetics Based Biomarkers through Microbiome and Metabolome for Personalized Medicine: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: The review significantly described the correlation between microbial inflammation and stem cell stochasticity of HPV-Induced cervical cancer and the expression of epigenetics- based biomarkers through microbiome and metabolome to foster the cervical cancer progression. These are major risk factors that can cause cervical dysplasia with substantial therapy resistance in cervical cancer patients. The qualitative and quantitative examination of the spatial transcriptomic expression of these stemness markers in the dividing cervical cancer stem cells has significant implications in the clinical sector to develop ea...

Recent Updates on the Efficacy of Mitocans in Photo/Radio-Therapy for Targeting Metabolism in Chemo/Radio-Resistant Cancers: Nanotherapeutics
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Nov 24. doi: 10.2174/0109298673259347231019121757. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConventional therapeutic modalities against the cancers such as surgery, chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) have limited efficacy due to drug resistance, and adverse effects. Recent developments in nanoscience emphasized novel approaches to overcome the aforementioned limitations and subsequently improve overall clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), and radiodynamic therapy (RDT) can be used as cancer treatments due to their high selectivity, low drug resistance, ...

Quercetin and microRNA Interplay in Apoptosis Regulation: A New Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer?
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Nov 24. doi: 10.2174/0109298673259466231031050437. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer is known as a global problem for the health and economy. Following cancer onset, apoptosis is the primary mechanism countering the tumor cells' growth. Most anticancer agents initiate apoptosis to remove tumor cells. Phytochemicals have appeared as a beneficial treatment option according to their less adverse effects. In recent decades, quercetin has been highlighted due to its high pharmacological benefits, and various literature has suggested it as a potential anti-proliferative agent against different kinds of can...

Structure and Function of the SARS-CoV-2 6-HB Fusion Core and Peptide-Based Fusion Inhibitors: A Review
Curr Med Chem. 2023 Nov 24. doi: 10.2174/0109298673265694231113061842. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSARS-CoV-2 has swept the world in recent years, triggering a global COVID-19 with a tremendous impact on human health and public safety. Similar to other coronaviruses, the six-helix bundle(6-HB) is not only a core structure driving the fusion of the SARS-CoV-2 envelope with the host cell membrane, but also the target of fusion inhibitors. The sequences from the HR1 or HR2 regions composing 6-HB are thus the original primary structures for the development of peptide-based fusion inhibitors. This review summarized the struct...
