linarin is a flavone glycoside in the plants flos chrysanthemi indici, buddleja officinalis, cirsium setosum, mentha arvensis and buddleja davidii, and has been reported to possess analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. in this paper, linarin was investigated for its ache inhibitory potential both in vitro and ex vivo. ellman’s colorimetric method was used for...

human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (hiv/aids) is a disease pertained to the human immune system. given its crucial role in viral replication, hiv-1 protease (hiv-1 pr) is a prime therapeutic target in aids therapy. in this regard, the dynamic aspects of ligand-enzyme interactions may indicate an important role of conformational variability in hiv-1 pr in...

objective(s): recently we reported that the soybean 15-lipoxygenase (slo) inhibitory activity of pyrimido[4,5-b][l,4]benzothiazines largely depends on the orientation of sulfur atom of thiazine core towards feiii-oh in the active site pocket of the enzyme with subsequent oxidation of sulfur to sulfoxide. in this paper the results of a comparative study on the slo inhibitory activities of the me...

objective(s): recently, phthalimide derivatives were designed based on ameltolide and thalidomide as they possess a similar degree of anticonvulsant potency due to their phenytoin-like profile. the ability of phthalimide pharmacophore to interact with neuronal voltage-dependent sodium channels was studied in the batrachotoxin affinity assay. therefore, in the present study, a series of 19 compo...

the antidiuretic effect of arginine vasopressin (avp) is mediated by the vasopressin v2 receptor. the docking study of avp as a ligand to v2 receptor helps in identifying important amino acid residues that might be involved in avp binding for predicting the lowest free energy state of the protein complex. whereas previous researchers were not able to detect the exact site of the ligand-receptor...
