Phosphatidylinositol inhibits respiratory syncytial virus infection.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects nearly all children under age 2, and reinfection occurs throughout life, seriously impacting adults with chronic pulmonary diseases. Recent data demonstrate that the anionic pulmonary surfactant lipid phosphatidylglycerol (PG) exerts a potent antiviral effect against RSV in vitro and in vivo. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) is also an anionic pulmonary surfac...

متن کاملRho-GTPase and Atherosclerosis: Pleiotropic Effects of Statins
3 A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors or statins are a class of medications with potent effects on reducing serum cholesterol level, and currently have been widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Previously, a substantial number of clinical studies consistently demonstrated that through decreasing serum cholesterol level, especially ...
متن کاملThe anticancer phytochemical rocaglamide inhibits Rho GTPase
Chemotherapy is one of the pillars of anti-cancer therapy. Although chemotherapeutics cause regression of the primary tumor, many chemotherapeutics are often shown to induce or accelerate metastasis formation. Moreover, metastatic tumors are largely resistant against chemotherapy. As more than 90% of cancer patients die due to metastases and not due to primary tumor formation, novel drugs are n...
متن کاملBovine respiratory syncytial virus.
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a major cause of respiratory disease and a major contributor to the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. BRSV infects the upper and lower respiratory tract and is shed in nasal secretions. The close relatedness of BRSV to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) has allowed researchers to use BRSV and HRSV to elucidate the mechanisms by which th...
