High-resolution crystal structures of lysozyme in the presence of the potential drug V O(acetylacetonato) under two different experimental conditions have been solved. The crystallographic study reveals the loss of the ligands, the oxidation of V to V and the subsequent formation of adducts of the protein with two different polyoxidovanadates: [V O ] , which interacts with lysozyme non-covalently, and the unprecedented [V O (NO )] , which is covalenty bound to the side chain of an aspartate residue of symmetry related molecules.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Gastrodia elata, also known as Chijian, belongs to the Orchidaceae family of plants. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that Gastrodia elata treats "confused speech, excessive fear, and loss of willpower". Gastrodin (GAS) is the main bioactive component of Gastrodia elata.

The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-SMAD signaling pathway is central to regulating hepcidin, the master regulator of systemic iron homeostasis. We have previously demonstrated that BMP6, BMP2, and, to a lesser extent, BMP5 are the major ligands contributing to hepcidin and iron homeostasis regulation in vivo. Hemojuvelin (HJV) and homeostatic iron regulator (HFE) are hepcidin modulators that are mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis.

Fenton-like reagents serve as useful tools to induce oxidative stress in forced degradation studies of surfactants, providing a relevant model due to the possible presence of trace amounts of transition metal ions and peroxides in liquid drug formulations. It is known that catalytic reactivity of transition metal ions heavily depends on the ligands present in the solution and that it differs between buffer systems. Herein, we compare the influence of common buffers and chelating agents on poloxamer188 (P188) degradation by using a fast-gradient reversed phase chromatography with charged aerosol detection (LC-CAD) and automatic sample preparation.

Sepsis-induced changes in brain regulatory functions remain understudied. Previous work demonstrated that cecal ligation and puncture (CLP, a murine model of sepsis) affected physiologic variables and serum cytokines and hormone levels.

Neuronal hyperexcitability is a hallmark of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but its relationship with the TDP-43 aggregates that comprise the predominant pathology in over 90% of ALS cases remains unclear. Emerging evidence indicates that TDP-43 pathology induces neuronal hyperexcitability, which may contribute to excitotoxic neuronal death. To characterize TDP-43 mediated network excitability changes in a disease-relevant model, we performed in vivo continuous electroencephalography monitoring and ex vivo acute hippocampal slice electrophysiology in rNLS8 mice (males and females), which express human TDP-43 with a defective nuclear localization signal (hTDP-43ΔNLS).
