EFEITO DE ÓLEOS ESSENCIAIS SOBRE A ENZIMA UREASE: UM ESTUDO IN VITRO E IN SILICO

O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar estudos in vitro e in silico com óleos essenciais visando à busca de substâncias bioativas inibidoras de urease com potencial atividade anti-H. pylori. A metodologia para os estudos in vitro baseou-se na utilização da urease de soja, escolhida como um sistema modelo para estudar o efeito de potenciais inibidores de urease. Os constituintes majoritários dos óleos essenciais avaliados foram submetidos a estudos de ancoragem molecular frente a enzima urease (PDB 1E9Z). Os resultados obtidos sugerem que os compostos eucaliptol, geranial e D-limomeno podem atuar como inibidores de urease por interagir no sítio ativo da enzima. Conclui-se que os óleos essenciais podem ser considerados fontes promissoras de substâncias bioativas com efeito inibitório sobre a enzima urease de H. pylori

EFEITO DE ÓLEOS ESSENCIAIS SOBRE A ENZIMA UREASE: UM ESTUDO IN VITRO E IN SILICO

The objective of this study was to perform in vitro and in silico studies with essential oils in order to search bioactive substances with potential anti-H. pylori activity. The methodology for in vitro studies was based on the use of soy urease, chosen as a model system to study the effect of potential inhibitors of urease. The major constituents of the evaluated essential oils were subjected to studies of molecular docking with the urease enzyme (PDB 1E9Z). The results suggest that eucalyptol, geranial and D-limomene can act as urease inhibitors to interact in the active site of the enzyme. This study concludes that essential oils can be considered promising sources of bioactive substances with inhibitory effect on H. pylori urease activity

Daratumumab-based treatment for immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis

none269siBACKGROUND Systemic immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils of light chains produced by clonal CD38+ plasma cells. Daratumumab, a human CD38-targeting antibody, may improve outcomes for this disease. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis to receive six cycles of bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone either alone (control group) or with subcutaneous daratumumab followed by single-agent daratumumab every 4 weeks for up to 24 cycles (daratumumab group). The primary end point was a hematologic complete response. RESULTS A total of 388 patients underwent randomization. The median follow-up was 11.4 months. The percentage of patients who had a hematologic complete response was significantly higher in the daratumumab group than in the control group (53.3% vs. 18.1%) (relative risk ratio, 2.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.1 to 4.1; P<0.001). Survival free from major organ deterioration or hematologic progression favored the daratumumab group (hazard ratio for major organ deterioration, hematologic progression, or death, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.93; P=0.02). At 6 months, more cardiac and renal responses occurred in the daratumumab group than in the control group (41.5% vs. 22.2% and 53.0% vs. 23.9%, respectively). The four most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were lymphopenia (13.0% in the daratumumab group and 10.1% in the control group), pneumonia (7.8% and 4.3%, respectively), cardiac failure (6.2% and 4.8%), and diarrhea (5.7% and 3.7%). Systemic administration-related reactions to daratumumab occurred in 7.3% of the patients. A total of 56 patients died (27 in the daratumumab group and 29 in the control group), most due to amyloidosis-related cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis, the addition of daratumumab to bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone was associated with higher frequencies of hematologic complete response and survival free from major organ deterioration or hematologic progression.noneKastritis E.;
