Inhibition of Sepiapterin Reductase through Formation of a Ternary Complex with Sulfasalazine or other Sulfa Drugs and NADP+

Miriam Grønlund Pedersen

The mechanism of action of sulfasalazine, an anti-inflammatory drug used against inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis is, despite its medical importance, still not well understood. Recently, it was shown that sulfasalazine and its metabolit ...

Treatment with Angiotensin-(1-7) reduces inflammation in carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7), acting through the receptor Mas, has athero-protective effects; however, its role on plaque vulnerability has been poorly studied. Here, we investigated the expression of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) components in stable and ...

Opportunities for Targeting the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas Receptor Pathway in Hypertension

Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

It is well known that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. This is well illustrated by the great success of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin (Ang) II AT(1) blockers in the treatment of hyp ...

An Oral Formulation of Angiotensin-(1-7) Reverses Corpus Cavernosum Damages Induced by Hypercholesterolemia

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Fabiana Pereira Da Costa Fraga, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Introduction The renin angiotensin system plays a crucial role in erectile function. It has been shown that elevated angiotensin-II levels contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Oppositely, angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) mediates penile ...

Pathophysiological role of the renin-angiotensin system on erectile dysfunction

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Background The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been shown to play an active role within the erectile tissues. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the literature addressing the pathophysiological role of RAS on erectile function. Additionall ...

Role of the renin-angiotensin system on abdominal aortic aneurysms

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet

BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a complex degenerative disease, which leads to morbidity and mortality in a large portion of the elderly population. Current treatment options for AAA are quite limited as there is no proven indication for pharm ...

Expression in Yeast Links Field Polymorphisms in PfATP6 to in Vitro Artemisinin Resistance and Identifies New Inhibitor Classes

Serena Pulcini

Background. The mechanism of action of artemisinins against malaria is unclear, despite their widespread use in combination therapies and the emergence of resistance. Results. Here, we report expression of PfATP6 (a SERCA pump) in yeast and demonstrate its ...

The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis: A potential target for treating thrombotic diseases

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Despite many therapeutic advances leading to increasingly effective drug treatments, thrombotic events (such as ischaemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction) still represent a major worldwide cause of morbidi ...

The Effect of Valsartan versus Non-RAAS Treatment on Autoregulation of Cerebral Blood Flow

Jean-Marc Vesin

Background: Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a protective mechanism which maintains the steadiness of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) through a broad range of systemic blood pressure (BP). Acute hypertension has been shown to reduce the cerebrovascular adapta ...

On the active site of mononuclear B1 metallo beta-lactamases: a computational study

Matteo Dal Peraro, Paolo Carloni

Metallo-beta-lactamases (M beta Ls) are Zn(II)-based bacterial enzymes that hydrolyze beta-lactam antibiotics, hampering their beneficial effects. In the most relevant subclass (B1), X-ray crystallography studies on the enzyme from point to either two zinc ...
