Article Abstract

Five putrescine and spermidine derivatives (-) together with five rotenoids (-) were isolated from a methanolic extract of the flowers of that displayed promising inhibition of 76.0 ± 1.9% for AChE and 90.0 ± 4.0% for BuChE at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Although the anticholinesterase activities of the isolated compounds did not reach that of galantamine, molecular docking revealed that all--tri--coumaroylspermidine and ---tri--coumaroylspermidine showed binding poses mimicking the known inhibitor galantamine and thus could serve as model molecules in future searches for new AChE and BuChE inhibitors.

Background: Oral emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectiveness against HIV acquisition highly depends on adherence. For men who have sex with men, a dosing study in the United States (US) population defined clinically meaningful tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) thresholds in dried blood spots (DBS) based on the rounded 25th percentile for 2, 4, and 7 doses/week as 350, 700, and 1,250 fmol/punch. However, divergent efficacy results in the first generation randomized clinical trials of F/TDF PrEP among African women led to several hypotheses to question whether the pharmacology and adherence requirement for oral F/TDF PrEP may be different in cisgender women compared to what is already established for men.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Moringa oleifera L. is widely used in Traditional Medicine across Africa and Asia for managing inflammation, infections, diabetes, and malnutrition. Although its aqueous and ethanolic extracts have been extensively studied, little is known about the safety of its non-polar (hexane) fraction, which may contain unique bioactive compounds.
