Cheminformatics and Machine Learning Approaches to Assess Aquatic Toxicity Profiles of Fullerene Derivatives.

International journal of molecular sciences
Fullerene derivatives (FDs) are widely used in nanomaterials production, the pharmaceutical industry and biomedicine. In the present study, we focused on the potential toxic effects of FDs on the aquatic environment. First, we analyzed the binding af...

A pendant droplet-based sensor for the detection of acetylcholinesterase and its inhibitors.

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England)
In this work, a pendant droplet-based sensor is developed for the rapid and label-free detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitors. The detection limit of AChE reaches 0.17 mU mL. The pIC values of AChE inhibitors such as neostigmine,...

Machine learning models to select potential inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase activity from SistematX: a natural products database.

Molecular diversity
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, representing 60-70% of dementia cases. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cleaves the ester bonds in acetylcholine and plays an important role in the termination of acetylcholine activity a...

Design of Natural-Product-Inspired Multitarget Ligands by Machine Learning.

ChemMedChem
A virtual screening protocol based on machine learning models was used to identify mimetics of the natural product (-)-galantamine. This fully automated approach identified eight compounds with bioactivities on at least one of the macromolecular targ...

Peroxidase-like activity of acetylcholine-based colorimetric detection of acetylcholinesterase activity and an organophosphorus inhibitor.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Colorimetric detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitor organophosphates (OPs) is attractive for its convenience, but the addition of exogenous catalyst to produce a chromogenic agent may result in complexity and interference. Herein,...

The Cost-Effectiveness of Using PARO, a Therapeutic Robotic Seal, to Reduce Agitation and Medication Use in Dementia: Findings from a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVES: To examine the within-trial costs and cost-effectiveness of using PARO, compared with a plush toy and usual care, for reducing agitation and medication use in people with dementia in long-term care.

Essential oil of Citrus lumia Risso: Phytochemical profile, antioxidant properties and activity on the central nervous system.

Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association
The use of essential oils (EOs) is known since long time in traditional medicine and aromatherapy for the management of various oxidative stress-related disorders and has been further increased recently for their neuroprotective and anti-aging potent...

Neural Network Modeling of AChE Inhibition by New Carbazole-Bearing Oxazolones.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) is one of the targeted enzymes in the therapy of important neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Many studies on carbazole- and oxazolone-based compounds have been conducted in the last decade due to th...

Selected essential oils inhibit key physiological enzymes and possess intracellular and extracellular antimelanogenic properties in vitro.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Essential oils (EOs) extracted from six medicinal herbs and food plants [Cinnamomum zeylanicum (CZ), Psiadia arguta (PA), Psiadia terebinthina (PT), Citrus grandis (CGp), Citrus hystrix (CH), and Citrus reticulata (CR)] were studied for any inhibitor...
