Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: A Narrative Review of Diagnosis and Treatment by drugs and novel agents.
Abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an infrequent but fatal disease, is primarily caused by autoantibodies against the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving metalloprotease ADAMTS13. Overall, severe deficiency of plasma ADAMTS13 action (< 10 IU dL-1) with or without noticeable inhibitory autoantibodies counter to ADAMTS13 supports the diagnosis of TTP. The International Working Group for TTP released a consensus statement on the standardization of terminology in these disorders which we use …

PHD-2 Activation to Stabilize HIF-1α and FASN in Mammary Gland Cancer
Abstract: Activation of prolyl hydroxylase-2 (PHD2) has emerged as an attractive target to counteract tumor hypoxia and thereby uncontrolled cellular proliferation. We utilized an integrated strategy to identify new PHD2 activators using series of in silico tools and in vitro methods. The in silico screening helped to identify 4-ethyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2H-chromen-7-yl acetate (BBAP-3), [4-(7-acetyloxy-4-ethyl-2,2-dimethylchromen-3-yl)phenyl]acetate (BBAP-4), 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2,4-trimethyl-2H-chromen-7-yl acetate (BBAP-5) as an activator, who are structurally similar to KRH102140 (a known activator of PHD2). All …

Parameters of “Safety” in the Food Additive Industry: A Review of Risks and Benefits
Abstract: “Safety is in the eye of the beholder.” What is deemed “safe” by one observer may seem dangerous or risky to others. To approach this apparent quandary and assure ongoing scientific input, most food additives should be tested on laboratory animals and subsequently monitored if approved for human or animal consumption (i.e., parallel to the pathway for the approval of drugs). The term “safety” in the study of the toxicology …
