Cover Story: Human health can benefit enormously from intact riverine ecosystems through forest bathing and river sound relaxation. Moreover, some secondary metabolites released by riparian plants into river waters can have antipsoriatic properties, as demonstrated computationally by modeling the interaction of apiin, guanosine and hyperoside with NF-kB, IL-17 and IL-36, which are protein targets involved in psoriasis. Apiin and hyperoside showed in silico favorable properties, and due to the low skin permeation predicted could be used as topical antipsoriatic therapeutics. In particular, apiin, with no predicted tendency to react nonspecifically with other protein targets, is particularly interesting for the desired therapeutic application. View this paper
