Article Abstract
Background: Polypharmacology is a design or use of pharmaceutical agents in which single drug is used to treat multiple diseases. Aquaporin proteins are identified to treat migraine with aura and brain edema. This study focuses on Aquaporin-1 and Aquaporin-4. AQP-1 is expressed in small afferent sensory nerve fibers. Over-expression of peripheral nervous system causes migraine.
Methods: AQP-4 is an abundant channel water protein in brain that regulates water transport to prevent homeostasis. Over-expression of AQP-4 contributes to water imbalance in ischemic pathology resulting in cerebral edema. Purpose of this study is to identify a potent inhibitor for the treatment of migraine with aura and brain edema.
Results: As in the recent studies, no conventional methodologies have been focused through the approach of polypharmacology. Structures of AQP-1 and AQP- 4 proteins were retrieved from PDB (Protein Data Bank). PyRx software was used to perform molecular docking.
Conclusion: Analogues of ligands were analyzed which contained significant similarities of associated proteins to get efficient inhibitor. Toxicity of lead compound was measured through admetSAR. A lead compound was predicted to treat these diseases.

Background: The progressive legalization and widespread use of cannabis has led to its use as a treatment for certain neuropsychiatric disorders. Traditional epidemiological studies suggest that cannabis use has an effect on some neurocognitive aspects. However, it is unclear whether cannabis use is causally related to common neuropsychiatric disorders.

Background: Deep learning has demonstrated significant potential in advancing computer-aided diagnosis for neuropsychiatric disorders, such as migraine, enabling patient-specific diagnosis at an individual level. However, despite the superior accuracy of deep learning models, the interpretability of image classification models remains limited. Their black-box nature continues to pose a major obstacle in clinical applications, hindering biomarker discovery and personalized treatment.

Objective: Sex hormones play a key role in migraine pathophysiology, yet their impact in men remains unclear. This study investigates sex hormone profiles and their potential relationship with Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) in men with episodic migraine.
Methods: We analyzed serum blood levels of sex hormones testosterone, estradiol (E2), progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and CGRP in age and body mass index (BMI)-matched men with and without migraine.
