Tenuifolin in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease-like phenotypes: Investigation of the mechanisms from the perspectives of calpain system, ferroptosis, and apoptosis

177 views | Oct 26 2023

Tenuifolin (Ten), an active component of Polygala tenuifolia, prevents Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like phenotypes through multiple mechanisms, including regulation of synaptic plasticity, apoptosis, calcium signaling, oxidative stress, and ferroptosis. [Read the Full Post]

Molecular Features of CA-074 pH-Dependent Inhibition of Cathepsin B

280 views | Jun 08 2023

The study investigated the pH-dependent inhibitory properties of CA-074, a selective inhibitor of cathepsin B, and found it to be more effective at inhibiting cathepsin B at an acidic pH of 4.6 with nM potency, while maintaining its specificity for cathepsin B over other cysteine cathepsins under both acidic and neutral pH conditions.
