Experimental investigation of the vortioxetine effects on somatic and visceral nociception in mice. Material and method: We used healthy, non-genetically modified white Swiss mice (20-25 g), randomly assigned in 3 groups of 6 animals each, treated orally 14 consecutive days, as follows: Group I (DW): distilled water 0,1 ml/10 g body weight, Group 2 (VRT): 20 mg/kbw vortioxetine. In the 14 th day of the experiment the Group 3 (KET) received the positive control drug ketoprofen (15 mg/kbw), 15 minutes before the performing the tests. The somatic pain testing was performed using hot plate assay. The writhing test based on chemical peritoneal irritation induced by diluted acetic acid (0,6%) was used as standardized visceral pain model. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS variant 17.0 for Windows and ANOVA one-way method. The research protocol was approved by the Grigore T. Popa University`s Committee for Research and Ethical Issues. Results: Ketoprofen showed a substantial and progressive prolongation in reaction time in hot plate test, respectively a decrease in the behavioral manifestations in writhing test. The administration of vortioxetine resulted in a considerable increase in the time response to thermal noxious paws stimulation in hot plate test, and a diminution in the number of writhes in writhing test. Conclusion:Using the mouse models of acute pain hot plate analgesia meter and acid acetic writhing test, we revealed that the oral administration of vortioxetine during 14 days resulted in significant somatic and visceral analgesic effects, but less intense than of ketoprofen.

“…SwissADME was used to screen the compounds based on Lipinski’s violations (above 1 violation compounds excluded), PAINS alerts (0 alert compounds), Bioavailability score (0.55 minimum) and synthetic accessibility (1 to 7). Every drug molecule should obey the Lipinski rule and Bioavailability score [ 38 ]. Here, 303 compounds were obeyed out of 1,207 compounds ( S2 File ).…”

Interleukin-10 as Covid-19 biomarker targeting KSK and its analogues: Integrated network pharmacology

COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is widespread in all regions, and it disturbs host immune system functioning leading to extreme inflammatory reaction and hyperactivation of the immune response. Kabasura Kudineer (KSK) is preventive medicine against viral infections and a potent immune booster for inflammation-related diseases. We hypothesize that KSK and KSK similar plant compounds, might prevent or control the COVID-19 infection in the human body. 1,207 KSK and KSK similar compounds were listed and screened via the Swiss ADME tool and PAINS Remover; 303 compounds were filtered including active and similar drug compounds. The targets were retrieved from similar drugs of the active compounds of KSK. Finally, 573 genes were listed after several screening steps. Next, network analysis was performed to finalize the potential target gene: construction of protein-protein interaction of 573 genes using STRING, identifying top hub genes in Cytoscape plug-ins (MCODE and cytoHubba). These ten hub genes play a crucial role in the inflammatory response. Target-miRNA interaction was also constructed using the miRNet tool to interpret miRNAs of the target genes and their functions. Functional annotation was done via DAVID to gain a complete insight into the mechanism of the enriched pathways and other diseases related to the given target genes. In Molecular Docking analysis, IL10 attained top rank in Target-miRNA interaction and also the gene formed prominent exchanges with an excellent binding score (> = -8.0) against 19 compounds. Among them, Guggulsterone has an acute affinity score of -8.8 for IL10 and exhibits anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Molecular Dynamics simulation study also performed for IL10 and the interacting ligand compounds using GROMACS. Finally, Guggulsterone will be recommended to enhance immunity against several inflammatory diseases, including COVID19.

“…In silico ADME studies, also known as computer-based studies, [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ] play a crucial role in the drug discovery and development process. ADME stands for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, which are key factors that determine the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of a drug.…”

In the absence of a vaccine, there is a need to find new drugs for the treatment of neglected tropical diseases, such as leishmaniasis, that can overcome the many drawbacks of those currently used. These disadvantages include cost, the need to maintain a cold chain, the route of administration, the associated adverse effects and the generation of resistance. In this work we have evaluated the antileishmanial effect of 1,5- and 1,8-substituted fused naphthyridines through in vitro and ex vivo assays, using genetically modified axenic and intramacrophagic Leishmania infantum amastigotes. The toxicity of these compounds has been tested in the mammalian host cell using murine splenic macrophages, as well as in murine intestinal organoids (miniguts) in order to assess their potential for oral administration. The 1,8- derivatives showed greater leishmanicidal activity and the presence of a nitrogen atom in the fused ring to the naphthyridine was important to increase the activity of both types of molecules. The aromatization of the pyridine ring also had marked differences in the activity of the compounds.
