Design and evaluation of tadpole-like conformational antimicrobial peptides

Antimicrobial peptides are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Herein, we report a class of “tadpole-like” peptides consisting of an amphipathic α-helical head and an aromatic tail.

Pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and excretion of licogliflozin, a dual inhibitor of SGLT1/2, in rats, dogs, and humans

Absorption, metabolism, and excretion (AME) of licogliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) 1 and 2 inhibitor, were studied in male rats, dogs, and healthy male volunteers and reported.

Virtual screening of potentially endocrine-disrupting chemicals against nuclear receptors and its application to identify PPARγ-bound fatty acids

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are key regulators of energy homeostasis, body development, and sexual reproduction. Xenobiotics binding to NRs may disrupt natural hormonal systems and induce undesired adverse effects in the body. However, many chemicals of concerns have limited or no experimental data on their potential or lack-of-potential endocrine-disrupting effects.
