Improving the activity and selectivity profile of anticancer agents will require designing drug carrier systems that employ soluble macromolecules. Olsalazine-PAMAM-dendrimer-salicylic acid-conjugates with dendritic arms of different lengths have sho...

Current therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as olsalazine and cyclosporine, often exhibit limited long-term efficacy and are associated with adverse effects. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid, shows promise for i...

Biliverdin IXβ reductase (BLVRB) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for thrombocytopenia due to its involvement in reactive oxygen species (ROS) mechanisms. During the pursuit of inhibitors targeting BLVRB, olsalazine (OSA) became app...

There remains an urgent need for knowledge regarding the molecular and genetic mechanisms in Aedes aegypti to support the fight against mosquito-borne illness, one of these areas being xenobiotic transport. If xenobiotic transport is disrupted, the a...

Background: Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) plays a crucial role in the detoxification of thiopurine drugs, including the antimetabolites azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) used to treat autoimmune diseases and various cancers. These drugs...

The GTP cyclohydrolase 1 enzyme (GTPCH1) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthetic pathway. Physiologically, BH4 plays a crucial role as an essential cofactor for the production of catecholamine neurotransmitters, incl...

Bartonella henselae can cause various infections in humans, ranging from benign and self-limiting diseases to severe and life-threatening diseases as well as persistent infections that are difficult to treat. To develop more effective treatments for...
